I’ve noticed many members of my generation are unable to properly hold a debate without going into immediate name calling or insults. Since so many people my age have spent time in echo chambers, be it online or in person, telling them their opinion is valid and never being challenged, they are unable to defend their beliefs when asked a simple question about why they feel the way they do.When their belief, their ideals that have been told for so long are valid with no critique are suddenly questioned, some members of my generation take it as a personal attack. Just because someone does not agree with your beliefs, that doesn’t automatically mean they hate your entire existence.

It's about time us women reclaime feminism into what it was always meant to be. • Protect women from harassment and abusive behavior • Stop the media from sexualising them • Stop women from disrespecting themselves and their bodies • Promote mutual respect and understanding between the two sexes.

Meanwhile, during class I don’t even want to look at my phone because what would I do on there? Nobody has anything to do in fact, it’s just getting a dopamine hit by opening Snapchat or Instagram and seeing something digital, clicking on an icon and seeing a picture. Then with Snapchat specifically it’s rude not to send back a picture of nothing when someone else has sent you a picture of nothing. At least with the students who try to game in class there’s something going on on their phone, but with the more social media-oriented kids like myself, there’s literally nothing to do but feed your addiction.

But there's no magic to that number and when it came and went, he was like, you know what? I'm okay being an older father. But it'll be interesting to see, as he hits 50 and beyond with school-aged children in the home, whether he still feels as confident in his abilities as he does now.

We live in a age of sensitivity, delusion, narcissism, mental instability and insanity, insecurity, loss of innocence, loss of self control, no shame, no respect, ignorance, sexual deviancy, predatory degeneracy, and of course stupidity

As the mom of an 11 year old girl who doesn't care about social media this is so true. She is delightfully awkward and still very much a tween.

Like cleavage showing, super tight bottoms, underwear in plain sight basically. Back then the girls look their age, now they look like 25 year olds. Shocking. Even cell phone wise, the kids are allowed to use them all the time. They used to never let us use our phones or pull them out, very rarely did a group activity call for it.

Well I'm from 2002, even though I didn’t have THAT pressure to grow up when I was a teen compared to nowadays (I would say the "grow up fast" mentality was starting), when I was about your age (≈13) I just wanted to grow up soooo bad but I couldn't because in the inside I didn’t feel like an adult, as I wasn't one in the first place. So whatever if someone says that you're being immature, to grow up fast and things like that, keep in mind that you grow up slowly so enjoy each moment of your life. Each moment will make you develop somehow and when you're a bit older, you will notice how you changed in the last years. So enjoy your early teen days, then your late teen days, then your 20s and so on. At the moment you're basically a kid, so be a kid, make memories (good and bad ones - in preference good ones of course) to feel like your teen days were worth it. Best luck for you 😊

right? and actually, shaving on its own is more unhygienic technically speaking so you have to take extra care because you are creating microtears in your skin that make way for bacteria to get in and for dead skin cells to clog your pores. Hair is there for a reason and it's to protect the regions where it grows, but either way is personal preference or beliefs and it's fine, not saying shaving is dirty. Just take extra care because you are potentially letting more ways in for bacteria.

A hundred years ago, "tweens" became adults, because they had jobs, boys (and girls) in mines and factories. 70 years ago, especially in Britain, tomboys were common for girls in school, and not rushed into hormone therapy. Instead "Theo" in school most often was back to Theodora after college.

As a 15 year old with a little sister, ive been saying this for YEARSSS. Everyday i regret giving her acess to the internet, specifically tiktok, because it changed the way she act and speaks. I mean she started using the word "sexy" from around the age of eight, when i knew my whole life how disgusting of a word it is. She would watch youtube channels where girls younger than 13 were wearing these short skirts, booty shorts, and tight clothing in general. And the obsession with makeup irked me even more because its such a fine line between doing it for fun and doing it for beauty. I hate how kids are dressing and acting like full grown adults. A great example of this is Dance Moms. Nothing can explain how much i hate that show. Its exploiting children in such a toxic environment and putting them such sexual acts. Kids should be kids, period. I dont want my elementary aged sister going around using heavy slang and derogatory words. I was born in 2009, so i always say that the year after i was born, everything went downhill because of the internet. I grew up with tetris and without cable(my parents are behind on technology), my sister grew up with youtube and roblox, and you can see the clear difference between us. My whole life ive been trying to shelter her from the wrong type of media, because i dont want her to grow up to fast like i did. Im sick of this. Kids should be kids. I dont want them acting grown when they have even lived 15% of the average lifespan

You are really stretching it. This is like an ignorant super catholic man saying eating hotdogs turns you gay. It also wouldn’t explain why so many boys are doing the same. The reason so many are identifying with lgbtq is because you get lots of positive attention from doing so. You get to feel special. Misha explained this herself in one of her videos.

In 1990s my classmates wanted to look and act as they were 40 years old; now that we ARE 40, I wonder how they try hard to turn back at that 12s that they hated so much! In 1990s there was also this TV show everyone remembers: "Beverly Hills". I super-hated it just because all characters, that were supposed to be one or two years older like me, were instead in their 30s. The differences between me and my classmates, who were fast as rockets to reach those models, left marks that are still here today. Families and parents should take a look on what their sons an daughter watch, as they're never innocent and never innocuous. Not even some tasteless animated series of present day. Anime female characters are 99% made to be cute and sexy: Japanese culture love girly women, dressed as dolls and speaking in a precise childish way. An anime watcher must know this, especially if it's about an adult anime. Even in children friendly stories, characters must look cool, cute, all colors and full of emotions; all characters know each other's feeling and they've got an infinite energy supply, because their life is always at school. There's also lot of homework to do, but, like in "Beverly Hills", they never touch a book, they never study. It's a fairy and fictional world in which there are adventures and in which magic makes your ordinarly life full of extraordinary things. One must know this: those anime are made for common people who feel frustrated, who know their life will never be a part of something special or great. So that's why authors insist on some details and make them bigger and bigger. That's why there are funny hair colors in anime: green, blue, orange, tomato red. In Japan they're all black haired and, over all, there are strict rules in schools and offices; if you were natural green haired, you still could have issues with your school's rules. An easy and cute doll, who's also aware of adult matters, is the easiest form of fun.

As a dude who's 20 I've noticed the behavior of a 14 year old girl and a 19 year old. Have been slowly merging together. I went to college that had an accelerated program for a highschool nearby. Talking with a lot of my friends. We all had a similar experience of seeing an attractive girl that turned out to be 16. The more time that went on the more a lot of us realized just so many of the girls there were underage. There really wasn't anyway to discern the two. In high school i was friends with girls that were in these types of programs. These girls usually had a higher level of maturity than most other girls. So thats also a factor to take into consideration. I remember being in middle school and adults telling how crazy girls dress at that age. Now when i pick up my sister at her high school. I see obviously lower classman girls wearing clothes that resemble a street workers attire.

I think it all comes down to this “look at me” mindset. When we were kids we’d share goofy photos with friends or an over edited dramatic photo of something on the sidewalk because we thought Instagram made us photographers. I think all of this makeup and these dances and this push to be an “influencer” has made the young generation so focused on “what can I do to be popular online”. And even though it sounds mean to say, most of them are doing it without needing to care about contributing to society or doing something that actually requires talent. And I feel sorry for them because I think it’s stopping kids from just being kids and growing up thinking that they need skills, trades, etc. in life overall.

I'm 24 years old and used to wear makeup heavily in high school. Funny enough what stopped me from doing my make-up was I was driving to work and I noticed my car was pale! My car door handle, my steering wheel, my shifter, my seat belt; all pale. I was so embarrassed thinking how many people had been in my car and had seen that (it was very noticeable) so after work I took my makeup off and stopped using it. I only do my eyebrows and my eyelashes now for special occasions. My skin is thanking me though 😂 I hope that these people who wear makeup every day understand they are more beautiful without makeup on than with makeup! Just wear it on special occasions and call it a day, saves you time and money.

About the anime part I think it mainly depends on the genre. Like genres that are targeting younger audiences (like shoujo & shonen) tend to have female characters look and sound like children, meanwhile genres that target older audiences (like seinen & josei) rarely do that. Anime like Naruto and Sailor moon that most people think when anime is mentioned are mainly targeting young audiences and having female characters behave and look like children is very prominent. For example while Attack on titan is shonen it targets more mature audiences and the female characters are well written, then you have josei like Nana that also have well written female characters.

When I was 14 I was allowed to properly start wearing makeup, but my mom took me to a makeup counter at the mall to have it done professionally and to teach me how. If I ever have a daughter I'll do a similar thing, because children don't understand the sexual messages they are sending and how predatory adults may take advantage of them.

It can also be true that girls who dress innocently would sometimes draw the attention of predators. Also, everyone is different, and some girls naturally look more mature at a younger age, which might have the same effect as wearing makeup and dressing older. But yeah, there are all sort of perverts out there, and some of them even like babies and toddlers in sexual ways, so nobody can be 100% safe 😑 I think the idea with not letting children dress provocatively, though, is that the pedos that like really young (and innocent) children are rarer than perverted men who simply don’t care about the age as long as the body is mature enough for sex. Thereby, if one is avoiding the more common danger, they’d be less likely to be targeted and victimized.

When you started talking about body hair, I had an epiphany: is this why tans men and they/thems are on the rise? Bare in mind this is mainly a joke, but the implications of beauty standards having an influence on girl’s psyches really makes me wonder.

Kids and the parents of the kids have all become clout chasing narcissists. Everyone is living in their own reality show and comparing themselves to other people on social media. I haven’t had any social media accounts for some time now but I do believe that social media is the catalyst that teaches reinforces that idea that feelings are more important than the facts. I also agree that social media is a breeding ground for sexualizing kids at a young age.

I've been waiting for a video like this for a long time. The proliferation of social media is something I've discussed with a lot of my friends recently, and all of us have agreed that it has little to no redeeming qualities. I strongly believe that a lot of the problems society are facing today were perpetuated in no small part by social media such as MeToo, OnlyFans, woke ideology and many more. Sure, you could argue that these examples would still be a thing even if social media was never introduced, but I think most can agree that it wouldn't have had the cult-like effect that ended up happening with younger generations. The overarching problem I find with social media is that it provides a platform for some of the most insufferable individuals on the planet to gain attention for doing outlandish things, who would easily be ignored had social media not existed. It's also caused people to have warped standards on what is considered normal, resulting in some of them feeling like they're not good enough because so many others feel the need to flex their achievements 24/7. Staying off social media permanently does help immensely on a individual level, but it is pretty much an "ignorance is bliss" kind of thing. If more people realised the ramifications that social media is having on society, that would honestly be incredible. It's just unfortunate that it will likely take a long time for society to wake up to this reality.

People on social media only shows exactly what they want to show. Their offline life is way sadder and boring, but kids and teenagers can't understand that people can be that deceiving. And today we are more connected than ever :/ Social media intoxicates our minds. Use it wisely.

I think the reason there is so much focus on teens in high school is because everyone can associate with them. People who have not gone to college tend to not like movies and shows about it.

When I was a tween and teenager, I was very awkward. I started puberty when I turned ten and quickly began getting a young woman’s body before I turned 12. A lot of my female classmates hated me because of that. My body developed before my mind was even ready. Luckily, being awkward in the 11-18 years was rather normal when I was growing up. Social media is a virus that has made our youth sick for attention and likes.

Seeing this POV of these young girls acting older despite their age, is giving me the same disgusting feeling when Humphert would look at Lolita 🤢. We all know who watches these videos, whether it was intentionally made so or not. The parents are to blame for not setting boundaries, but the media is always the main root. I feel like 2006- 2007 were the last few years of kids who went through the preteen phase, at least that’s what it seems like. I think you should also look into the boys side of things, I see of lot of KZread shorts of tiktok boys aged 13-15 sexualizing themselves for views.

I'm almost 3 minutes in and gave to say: I REALLY MISS THE OLD INSTAGRAM. People posted about vacation, nature, family life, pets, heartwarming or special moments. Now Instagram is flooded with narcissists who'll have 1k+ slelfies on their account and are only talking about themselves. Teens having body dysmorphia, doing everything in their way to please strangers on the internet while destroying their mental state without noticing it until it's too late. I remember, when I was in 9th grade, that was the time where my classmates had downloaded Instagram. But they've postet as normal people like a sunset. But nobody overshared a hell lot of their life how the kids are doing it now. I'm glad I was born in the 2000s, cuz nobody my age behaves like a people pleaser to strangers. Many people use it inactively, meaning they've got an account but aren't interested enough to redownload that app (or any shit like Tiktok or Facebook). I've quit social media this year (except for insta) and man I regret nothing. Insta is going to be deleted next, cuz it just bores me. Everything is a re-upload I've seen before and I'm only there to look at stories of friends and people I personally know.

I'm 34 and started seeing this trend already in 2008. It makes me happy that someone in their early 20s sees the problem with social media being a paradise for pedophiles, that young guys today think we are hairless naturally, that OF is marketed for teenagers as an "empowering career" and teachers talking about their sexuality to 8 year olds

Thank you for being a decent, intelligent, respectful and level-headed young woman. The world needs many more of you.

Im so proud of this young lady because shes wise and not scared to say what she thinks. Sending my respect from the UK Misha.

Some of the girls that come in to the store I work are like 9 or 10 and they are wearing bitty shorts and crop tops acting out TikTok dances. It’s just too much. They dress the same as teens and adults and I never wanna bring it up because then I’d be the weirdo 😵‍💫

I worked in a hotel in the summer and I checked in a school trip of about 30 or 40 12-13 year olds. I have never seen so many underage legs and stomachs in my life. The girls almost all wore too tight cycling shorts and crop tops that are basically sports bras. The boys all wore basketball or cargo shorts and most had their tops off. I was so uncomfortable watching them all posing for photos at the front desk. I also noticed how none of them could stand still, they just had to do a tiktok dance. I also remember how fast they would leave the restaurant after breakfast. It was an all you can eat breakfast but they'd be in and out in 15 mins and you could see they hardly ate. I really wish there was a way to help the new generations but society has been closed off to parents only, and most of them are useless.

I agree with you. I also want to add that as a high schooler there are other reasons (in addition to social media) gen-Z had a different childhood from gen-x in most cases. 1. I live currently and have always lived in the deep suburbs never being able to walk or go anywhere because I lived in a suburban neighborhood surrounded by highways which is a problem with urban planning. 2. Strict parenting. I don’t want to blame my parents because there is enormous pressure on them, and they aren’t that strict, but it has been proven in studies that parenting guides, peer pressure, etc. have been getting encouraging stricter parenting making which makes kids have less common sense, street smart, and independence.

Finally someone mentally sane, thank you! You just said everything that I am thinking! 👍❤️

I originally thought adults stole halloween from children. But now its obvious that adults are giving it back in the worst way. I always found that Hocus Pocus movie to be scary as a kid for this reason.

Great job Misha 🤓 it's so nice to see young people these days with some normal common sense,

I was about 25 years old when social media started to take off around 2005-2007. I've definitely noticed a huge cultural shift since then, especially among young women.

THANK YOU for saying it Misha, thank you. ❤️

My sister's girls are in their 1st and 2nd yr of college. I remember when she posted pics of them for their high school junior/senior prom, I was shocked. They looked like they were going out clubbing. When I was their age, we never would have been allowed out of the house, let alone into a school function, looking like that.

Same reaction I've had to one of my nieces. Thankfully the others have parents that encourage them to act their age.

Something I’ve noticed with anime is the rabbit hole of “well they look, act, and sound like a child but they’re actually 2000 years old so it’s okay so sexualize them”. It’s weird and creepy and I have a hard time believing any normal person is okay with sexualizing a character that is in every way a child except for the supposed age.

Well said, I feel like a lot of people don't talk about this and happy to see it exposed!

Thanks for your work Misha, you are so young and yet so brave👍🏻

misha spittin straight facts per usual 🗣️🗣️

OMG thank you! … finally someone else has said it! Since the day my 14 yo ( at the time 11 ) started getting into anime, I was so grossed out by a lot of it .. and it just gets progressively worse, heavily promotes pedo. Also there are sooooo many sexual things that alot of people wouldn’t even notice, especially kids, it’s almost subliminal. Needless to say she has struggled with a ton of different issues since becoming interested in it. Body image being the number one issue.

Hope you feel better soon! Thank you for all the content and God bless! 🙏

Hey Misha, i love this video! My little sister just turned 13. She has access to instagram but luckily has not taken part of any of this, and it makes me happy to see she is still a normal teenager

Definitely agree with you, Misha!

When I was 12, 20-year-old adults tried to teach us some things. Now at 20 years old, it's our turn to try to teach something to younger people when we know that more and more parents will become irresponsible and these children will have to look for advice anywhere on the internet. Even in the end, even when it seems like everyone in the world has gone crazy, there will be sensible people, like you Misha and many others like us here in the coentaries. Our mission is to pass on what we know, cyclically. And in reality, teenagers are not getting older, but rather more promiscuous, because maturing means making our spirit stronger and more responsible. These young people are actually embracing these plastic and fake Hollywood fads that promote social transformation, even if it means looking horrible like these people who had the surgery at the end of the video. In the 90s people seemed older due to their posture and maturity compared to today, but they still maintained a bit of their childish innocence. The people of the future are those who lost their humanity and opened their spirit to the entire manifestation of the 7 sins. It is not common to see young adults on the internet who have not lost their natural beauty and innocence in acting and speaking, although they exist a lot in real life. Congratulations!

High school TV shows/movies, Kardashians and other celebrities; musically stars, teen mom, and so much more that destroyed kids and teenagers. It's really sad.

One of the best videos I’ve seen on this topic hands down. What I love the most is that it’s made by a young person! Great job Misha ❤

it will get much worse as these "social media" generations grow up, and become the people who make societies what they are. From what I've observed, being born in 67' and working in Information technology, is that social media, and the internet as a whole, came about rapidly & globally without any rules or guidelines. Primarily, that is an impossible thing to universally enforce in such a short time. And, now we are left with the result of all the 'freedom of expression" and technology we were given

I get where you are coming from with the animes. I still watch some, but avoid the weird ones. Also, I'm so glad you covered this topic! For years I've been wondering why children just can't be children. It is sickening.

Misha you’re such an inspiration,the amount of effort you put into all of your videos is sooo impeccable and highly appreciated🤍🫶🏾

thank you for being such a well spoken, smort adamant woman.

I'm not sure it's gotten worse. When I was 11, I was getting approached by creepy grown men. I was an early bloomer and had to shop in the adult section. I definitely feel like I grew up fast because if you look older, people treat you older. I would have preferred to have looked younger. My son is a tween now and I'm around a lot of tweens. Girls are still dorky and dressing modestly. It's just the girls that are online and posting stuff that we notice. My son doesn't have a phone and most of his friends don't. Some don't even have an ipad yet.

I went to a friend's wedding & saw a girl wearing a skintight dress. Inevitably I was checking her out, only to find myself HORRIFIED when she turns around & I realize she was MAYBE 16 years old. (I'm in my 30s for context.) I seriously question whether these kids have parents bc NOBODY should allow a child to dress like a 25-year old IG thot.

I think calling a 16 year old an IG thot after checking her out and realizing oh she is not at a legal age for me to hit on is well disgusting now do i think that a 16 year old should wear that no but if you can not see how you are part of the problem is concerning .

@beverlysheldon2965 Did I call HER an IG thot or did I say she was dressed like one? And I was horrified bc she was dressed quite provocatively despite the fact she is a child. Had she been an adult, I'd still have judged her for dressing inappropriately for a wedding but I wouldn't have been horrified bc she would be an adult entitled to make her own choices. Also, PLEASE miss me with the "men who look at scantily clad women are part of the problem" nonsense. There's a reason why female modesty was/is encouraged by all Abrahamic faiths & that's bc it's a man's nature to look when women flaunt it. To argue it's a man's fault for looking makes me think you've got a double digit IQ.

I tend to get bored with most KZread videos after the first couple minutes, but this video was intriguing enough that I watched the entire thing. I do agree with a lot of stuff said in this video because I am watching my niece grow up way too fast.

I’m so glad to see someone talking about this!!!

I’m so thankful for this video, because I have to hold a presentation on this topic.☺️ Was scared I won’t have enough sources😥

If I were a parent, I'd never let my kids have social media, not even in their mid teens.

back then, i did not understand what my mom meant with "youth is a very short thing, and adulthood is a long and painful time. Try to appreciate and enjoy your adolescence". I missed a good chunk of my youth thanks to depression and feeling everything like a grey mass of nothingness, and her words make sense now in my head. At my current 25 years old, i'm not a broken mess, thankfully, i'm a rather functioning member of society, but i still feel i have not experienced a lot of things, feels like a missing piece inside of me. I can see many of those now kids, then future adults, feeling something similar to what i feel, if they haven't got hit with the hammer of wisdom.

boy am i thankful to have found your channel cause not many people are talking about this.
