I’m 19 too , I didn’t get a phone till 2015 but it’s screwed me up too. I edit every single thing.. pandemic made it 10x worse too. But for the last 4 weeks I’ve had instagram deleted which has helped a lot

Just delete your social media. I did it 2 years ago. No regrets

Exactly. I've personally chosen to relinquish every sense of what society has taught us is feminine, so I could feel like my true feminine self and it's truest sense. I no longer wear skirts, nor tight pants, I have short manageable hair for once, where no makeup, no earrings, no no polish, nothing frilly or tight

I’m transgender and the beauty standards hurt me a lot because I’ll never be able to reach them.

@@_Anna_Nass_ Good for you! You really aren't missing anything.

Same with boys too

@@kingdigletteverythingpokem2136 yes, absolutely.

Ugly men should be accepted and wanted by women too

Just have the conversation

@@lukklm6076 it completely comes down to your perception of 'ugly' I believe a person is only ugly from within, and has nothing to do with how someone looks. You can have the most beautiful person to look at, and they can be truly ugly within....I take a kind person over looks any day!

I personally think social media should be 18 and up. Just like certain films used to be, it's not healthy to be exposed to these things at such young ages.

What’s crazy is we do know as a society what we are doing! Yet, we don’t stop. We are not smarter but the opposite. We are not more social but the opposite. Whhhy?

Remember, they’re ultimately a company trying to sell you something

The same parents that won’t let their kids play outside or walk to school because “it’s too dangerous” are the same parents who will open their kids social media account so they can interact with “friends” from the “safety” of their own homes.

Definitely

Totally agree with you

@The Mindful Mum of London I totally agree absolutely it needs to be shown world wide too many lives destroyed by social media and the pressure they face in 2022 is far to much

I believe their media agency is Ogilvy. They make some really great ads.

@@ThePurpleKiss101 Yeah, Ogilvy and Mindshare.

1 year later and over 1.8 million views!

me too x

My daughter’s almost four... I’m scared for her futur and this is no joke

Exactly the same with me

I cried

Same here just a really lovely fabulous advert that young lass face just reminds me of my young 11 year old niece she is into social media and I think it's too young too soon I really do.

Yh same here and I couldn’t feel more happier coming off it

you should at least have some pride in how you look though

Yup-it really is

Well said. There is hope. Here is a glimpse at what were doing. ukposts.info/have/v-deo/gWiGh4mfpa2AsHU.html

if anything its the other way around

Ew

@@carlivasquez6840 why are you saying ew

Well said. We're trying are best to bring a little bit more reality online. This video may interest you :) ukposts.info/have/v-deo/gWiGh4mfpa2AsHU.html

as a teenager, i learnt nothing from this video nor did this make an impact in my lifestyle

I am 15 and neither do I!! SO glad to find someone like me ❤️

Beauty is not and will not ever be what YOU want it to be. Beauty is defined by the consumer not the producer.

Same here thank god I wasnt at internet social media growing up i never wore make up always had my hair up in pony tail and was a tom boy I'm now 41 and still tomboy ish never wore any makeup in my life I am who I am never been happier to much pressure now on young people to look and act be a certain way just have confidence and self esteem in yourself be happy with who you are what you are and you wont go wrong in life. Every one is beautiful and unique in every way be yourself and be happy content

I’m glad but you have a long way to go. Stay the course.

You likely don’t need make-up

Social media is the thing ur on rn..

I'm sorry they were so thoughtless. I deliberately worked to counteract this messaging with my daughter and my two sons. They are all wonderful people who accept others at true face value - and look deeper for the person behind the face.

Ashley Fitz Can i ask why you posted a picture of yourself on social media? Glad i grew up as a teen through the 1980's. There was no social media for me to go on back then. So there were no problems. Maybe parents today should be keeping kids off social media. Then there would be no problems. The world is full of good people, horrible people, crazy people and evil people. Many of those people are on social media. So there will always be problems on there, just like there are out in the real world.

thats the internet you should know this could happen before posting

I’m 40 too it’s hard to see your own young face fade away in a world that values beauty. But I can’t imagine the mental health issues augmentation we’ll see in 5 to 10 years as the ‘never known life without social media’ s hit this life stage. I feel so grateful to have spent most of my formative years before social media we are the final generation who has.

Your comment inspired me

way before I become transgender and I was a boy I had big nose to that maybe why I got badly pick on now iam transgender try my best the best transgender Lady I can be what makes it hard for me I'd not fully transgender woman only half transgender because the rest cots lots for me get me down at times but at this time I do have the inds centre link lady pick me help me out in my life they ok with me been have some but in saying that I still have up and Downs they try best pick up from time to time now how to that what I love about them wish I could give you a big hug knowing that it will not all your pain away so sorry what you had to deal with 😶🙁😣😒🤧💔

you should know the risks before using social media

Exactly

They are just photos. The amount of pressure is exactly the same as always. But the people have gotten so snively and soft they can't handle any unpleasantness.

And boys too

This isn’t about men.

Well said. We're working on bringing more awareness around this issue and also bringing a solution to the table. ukposts.info/have/v-deo/gWiGh4mfpa2AsHU.html

And that’s the very point of this video! Because social media is complicit in setting and projecting beauty standards that are so impossibly high that women (and men!) simply feel ugly and inadequate if they don’t come close to these ultra edited/plastic/Kardashian-esque images of ‘beauty’ that we’re force fed every single time we open Instagram. It’s creating a generation that has never been more insecure, and it’s so heartbreaking

@@mayakessler1141 definitely. I live somewhere with lots of social media addicts that sometimes i question whether or not thats really how they look or if thats all makeup…

Yes she’s so beautiful makeup is ugly af

@@escapefr0mslender it really is it should only be used for special occasions or holidays

ias a teenager i really dont plan on this having a impact in my life

So important indeed! This may be even more refreshing for you :) ukposts.info/have/v-deo/gWiGh4mfpa2AsHU.html

I'm a big fan of natural beauty every one is beautiful the young girl in the tv advert is simply fabulous very model like and she will go far in life I hope she will follow her dreams and have the confidence to stand up and be who ever she wants to be do what she wants to do I would be very proud of her and that she will go very very very far

Happy birthday I turned 41 last month your only young as you feel just keep healthy and happy happiness is key to a healthy life

sadly I have to because I could not become fully transgender woman still have shave my face to put make-up on to make my self look like a lady as best I can and to me it kind of sucks and hurts me and sucks being in the wrong body to wish I was never a boy wish I was born Girl and just try my best to deal with life to knowing it can be painful and hurtful and stressful and judgemental people and dubble standers stuff 😶🙁😣😒😏PS just a sad world we live in now

Notice how on the computer it looks like a woman yet in reality it looks like a kid. Dove is being underhanded, they clearly are different people and Dove is trying to make out kids are making themselves look older to fit in to be able to look beautiful then are groomed online by men. This is a pack of lies. Girls love being at the centre of all and many actually suffer from HPD at the expense of there families encouraging there daughters, Nieces, Cousin's to be like this. They closely observe there accounts and get them ready for OF just a few years down the line. A lot of normal girls on normal platforms who aren't models might say they're not beautiful but it's a ploy for men to keep away from asking them out but still to receive over flattering remarks because they LIKE IT. It comes from themselves and you can't blame men or social pressures from causing this. This Advert is Evil and I don't like it one bit. The Music, The grown woman at the end of a particular version of this AD shown in the UK who might be masquerading as a kid. It's all creepy. It interrupts you unexpectedly in the most inappropriate times of the day and is usually on REALLY knowing people are watching Ghost Stuff. What is this implying? It's as bad as the baby adverts of being born. I feel like muting the sound when I see this stuff but unfortunately the family is around then watching there rubbish usually hugging the remote. I can't keep doing it either I can't pretend I haven't saw it. I hope OFCOM decide to pull it once it receives complaints. I hope you write.... 😅

you cant expect every video to be accesible to people with disabilities
