It would be fucking hard for me too if any of that happened to me now as a full adult.

The D'amelio parents are so odd to me. They seem to be okay with throwing the financial burden on their children, despite witnessing Dixie and Charlie have panic attacks over the very thing that supplies the family's money. Have they ever tried to steer their children away from fame? Or have they accepted, or even encouraged, all the fame and opportunity? Do they even truly register what they're doing to their children?

Exactly my feeling and I also think that maybe if they had left it alone and left Charli and Dixie to continue making tiktoks with dances and things without the pressure of a music career, books, brand deals and Hulu tv shows (????) then maybe the girls (because they are children) wouldn’t face such pressure. Obviously there would be some pressure with such a large audience and some may argue that they want to do these things but seeing how stressed and emotionally tired they are sort of suggests this isn’t the case and they’re being told they want to do these things by management bought for them by their parents. I don’t know if this tv show was the best idea given the bad light it’s put their parents under.

honestly, i feel bad for them. like not BAD BAD, but i watched the show and it feels like they were forced to make this show. and if not forced, it seemed like they were forced to really force out their problems as “drama” on the shows, and on the show i can see their actual stress that they have, and in one of the last episodes charli really touches on the hate that she gets, like she’s 17 and gets so much hate for just doing dances. charli really seems like she’s smart and she’s genuine. she doesn’t go around wearing gucci and all this shit, she seems down to earth. i really do, (ik this is stereotypical), but i think it’s the parents fault. when Dixie was having a mental breakdown the parents was more concerned ab the show than her. i think 100% of the cringe stuff and the things that no one likes is the managers and the parents fault, and charli is only 17, she’s 100%. like the haters are so stupid, all of her hate comments are either saying “it’s okay you can take down ur BLM profile picture” which, if she didn’t care ab BLM SHE WOULDVE NEVER MADE IT THAT, she’s only 17, she can support movements, and that she can’t dance and she does tiktok dances, but she’s been doing completive dances since she was 4. like she gets more hate than fucking Zoe Laverne who dated a 13 year old and got preggo by a trump supporter, and the other self obsessed tiktok stars. like it’s really sad.

I am so happy you even for a couple of seconds mentioned people bullying Millie Bobby Brown, I am sick of the fake overly edited videos about her “being rude” and “interrupting her co stars” when they were all like 12 years old 💀

10:34 I think in general, the internet tends to hate literal children for no reason at all. I don't really know who this family is, but as you said, people will root for a child to fail because??? They are a teen who made a not so good song??? The internet will declare them public enemy number 1. They will send so much hate and vitriol towards them for no good reason. Setting our calendars back 11 years, it's exactly what happened with Rebecca Black's Friday. Bad song, but did this actual 13 year old deserve all the bullying she got for it?

Charli isn't so i don't get why people are acting like she's being forced to make content. everyone has detractors and online haters and that can and will affect someone's mental state. it's awful and shouldn't happen but i struggle to see how this in any way is child labor. child labor infers some sort of physical or mental labor that is taxing on the child. the only mentally taxing thing to Charli is online trolls and that isn't anyones fault. the only physically taxing thing is actually doing the dances. i just honestly don't get the pity party for famous people simply for being famous. fame comes with hate and pressure. it always has

And it's messed up that any kid should be put in the position where they have to answer the question of what they value more, their mental and emotional health, or their future financial situation, and have their parents shove them towards the money. That's the most heartbreaking part, that it's so obviously not a situation where the kids are following their passion and the adults in their lives are just following their lead and supporting them however they can. The adults are pushing this and the kids are just like "I don't really feel comfortable with this, but you're authority figures in my life who I trust so I guess I'll go along with it".

i still think this is one of drew's most important videos. i wish more people gave this much grace to people who became famous as children and young adults. the pressure of having so many eyes on you and being surrounded by managers and agents (and sadly even family members in a lot of cases) who coerce you into making them money when you don't know who you are yet is damaging. everything i've heard and read about child stars, both in the traditional sense and on social media, has convinced me that children should never be put in a position where they can become famous.

i really question their parents morals. they see how much this is all affecting their children and they don’t seem to care that much. if my child was having this much anxiety over things that could be controlled i would take them out of the situation immediately. they are being filmed having panic attacks and mental breakdowns but it’s fine because it’ll give them sympathy and more money?? the entire family is basically financially dependent on charli and they’ve dug themselves too deep to just back out of everything. nobody is standing up for charli or dixie and that is so sad

the dad was (idk if he still is) bringing in a lot of money for their family. before Charli blew up they lived in a big house and Charli went to a good school plus dixie was on her way to college I think. if the parents had any sympathy for their children they would tell them to just stop posting.... they'll be fine without it. Charli has made enough money to support herself for a long time. fame is not worth their mental health

Taking them out of the situation would probably just create more drama leading to worse anxiety and poorer mental health. the parents deciding to cut them off from the world all of a sudden would probably upset the girls and the fans and their friends and the media and really wouldn’t be productive at all. There really isn’t a solution, especially not one that’s achievable by their parents since you can’t undo fame and they’re probably already under so many contracts. And I don’t think charli or Dixie wants to quit since they have so many benefits and opportunities so if their parents forced them to that would also take a toll on their mental health and probably wouldn’t help it at all. Also in the series they do seem pretty concerned with the amount of work their children are doing and I’m pretty sure charli and Dixie offered to help pay for the house since they say that the parents never really wanted to move to LA in the first place but charli and Dixie figured out the logistics and begged them to until they said yes

My former best friend was in such a similar situation. She's a singer and her parents make her take part in these shows that brings in half their income and so she can't stop bc she feels so much pressure to earn for her family. And this was when we were in the 6th grade. She would literally not come to school bc she had to film for months together.

8:57 Funny, but at the same time oh so painfully true...

The scene where they've just pre-planned Dixie's entire year for her without seeming to have even consulted her on any of it and then they just go "so how do you feel about your 2021 :P" at the end as if they didn't just dump 300 projects on her that she didn't even want to do in the first place.... horrifying. It's so clear that they don't see her as a person that they need to foster and help grow, but as a money making machine that they need to pump for all its worth.

I’m jealous of people like Drew who are so good at constructing thoughtful, meaningful sentences and arguments. Prior to watching this video, I honestly despised the sisters. To me they were just privileged girls who did very little to nothing to become extremely successful and make more money than the working class. While there is some truth to that, Drew made me realize the actual situation and see these girls as normal people who just became successful overnight. Although they’re blessed with a nice house and more money than I can dream of, they actually have their own struggles to maintain and achieve that success. I’m so glad I discovered Drew’s channel.

I wish her parents cared enough to see the impact it is having on her though. Teenagers should not be famous. It just wrecks your mental health and I'm pretty sure she already needs therapy. Like being 17. Seeing so many people be angry that you're not dead? You dont get out of something like that unscathed.

I feel like the instant someone becomes famous, everyone just decides that they now belong to the public and owe them something. The companies don't even ask, they just say "hey, you're famous, but you're just a kid so you're gonna come and do it for us for less money than an adult would because we can't legally HIRE you because this is the USA and you are not 18 yet :)"

This is why I love Drew. He's an understanding, selfless person. He could be simply mocking nonstop the series, he could be just another logic-less hater on the sea of hate that fame brings. But no, he keeps reason. He analyses the situation and tries to explain to those who may not get how hard things can be come, even if you have all those resources and reach. He's not just a funny man that berates people, he's a funny man that tries to understand people. It's really wholesome.

Two major takeaways here-one, Jeanette is completely right in saying that children should not be able to be famous. Your brain isn’t finished developing until you’re 25, and being exposed to that level of stress and anxiety when that young physically changes the makeup of your brain. Second, I feel like we’re nearly at a turning point with how we talk about fame, especially for young people-think Lorde’s recent comments about being young and having nightmares from paparazzi, all of the Britney Spears stuff, and all of the abuse allegations that have come out of Hollywood. Too many kids want to be famous via social media without knowing the real impacts and consequences of that. It’s on adults to safe guard them, not thrust them further into the spotlight.

I agree with most of the stuff except for the age really. I think most young people have at least now a solid grasp of mental health. I would say if you aren’t old enough to drive, you shouldn’t be famous. I know with the fully developed brain thing, but tbh I also know plenty of people who are older than 25 the don’t even know the full ramifications of their actions. I would say it has to do more with parenting. One example is Shawn Mendes, dude got pretty famous pretty young and turned out fine, not to say he didn’t struggle, cause I don’t know if he did. I would definitely say it’s not necessarily always an age thing (depending on the age) but more of a lifestyle thing, plenty of adults wouldn’t know how to properly handle being famous.

@@jacobherrera8735 I see your point for sure, but let’s take the driving example. Teenage drivers have the highest level of accidents and risk-taking behaviour on the road, which is why they are required to have higher insurance rates than most people. Brain development is a large part in that risk-taking behaviour. So, when you’re that young and your brain physically cannot have a grasp on itself, it’s a little more dangerous for it to take on the high amounts of stress involved in being busy and being held to such a high level of scrutiny. Like other trauma that induces higher cortisol levels (for example, adultification due to absentee or abusive parents), later down the line that can cause depression/anxiety, alcoholism, post-traumatic stress, etc. You’re right in that plenty of adults would not handle fame well, but that’s less about neural connectivity than it is about personality, life circumstances, childhood trauma and the nuances that come with more life lived.

the fact that they _filmed_ the girls suffering anxiety/panic attacks makes my blood boil- as a person who gets them, it’s hard enough having one in front of a couple of people, let alone _millions!_

I've written lyrics every night for over a year, and honestly they're all bad. But nobody's seen any of the crappy ~380 songs.
