Kids are busy growing up while they're missing out on being a kid.I have no idea why, but here in Malaysia, its like a MUST to start up a self-branding business in cosmetics and beauty. Now, i don't mind the starting up a business. Puh-lease. I'm not petty.
Its the "if you wanna look like me" or the "you have to look like this, that is why your husband will love you and not cheat you" ploy that gets me steaming through my ears.
Who da heck told you that everyone should look like you or looking a certain way will guarantee anything. My eyes have been rolling towards all the marketing planning in all these companies.
Social media is somehow telling little girls that they have to look a certain way nowadays. You gotta wear tight jeans, you gotta have flawless skin, you gotta have perfect teeth and etc.
People blame it when they see twelve year olds dress like twenty year olds. They wanna act grown up too fast, you say. I will now ask you, who has told them otherwise? Who has shown them how they should look?
When i was a little girl, they wasn't a lot of these advertisements. Its just the product, wind blowing through your hair, funny guy singing in the shower and so on. The commercials were more towards attracting the consumers to know the products benefits in an interesting way not who the ambassadors are.
Literally could wear my pyjamas outside and don't care. Kids nowadays are busy growing up and forgetting to be a kid.
I do agree the "public figures" or "influencers" are pretty. But they can afford that lifestyle and they have been practising that lifestyle for a while. In our economy status, its not like we can always afford that lifestyle.
And in others words, wear the clothes that fit you okay?
