This person is 16??

[underwaterrhymes]

She's gorgeous.

I can't imagine growing up that way, though. I had 80s bangs and braces at 16.

A happy medium would have been nice. LOL.

[1confused1]

Jose needs to reel his daughter back in.

[aliciaflorrick]

One of those pics looks like Donna Martin.

[Deleted]

She is gorgeous.

If I were her parents I would be beyond uncomfortable/scared that my daughter now had tens of thousands of followers. Plus, they know where she goes to high school.

I find the power of social media disturbing.

You know what I looked like at 16?


An ogre.

[compassrose]

They are both beautiful young woman, but holy crap my mother would have died before she let me out of the house wearing a lace bra as a top or no bra and a tank top.

[Deleted]

Also, a bra?

Really?

And it blew up. Gee, I am so surprised.

*Wishes she had worn underwear to a music festival and that social media had existed and I was friend's with a daughter of*

[LeggsBenedict]

um, is the blonde with her nipples on display also 16?

never mind, I should read. whew!

[rosiebear]

Ugh. She's an underage kid and as a mother of a very pretty teenage girl, those pictures are kinda terrifying.

Look, it's all ew. 

Boys would never do this. 

Boys aren't going to parade around in their underwear mostly undressed at a festival and it's not going to blow up into 80K likes on IG. 

But this it is still the way for women because society is fucking broken.

[papie]

Well, her friend is a model, so her nipples have probably been photgraphed before. The disturbing thing is I have two conflicting thoughts: I'd kill my daughter, and my mom would have been thrilled if that happened to me.

Can you post a pic, because BuzzFeed is blocked here.

Boys are half-naked there, too. Coachella is some kind of crazy.

And although I'm not sure about likes on IG, there is an entire board of ex-Bump people dedicated to One Direction including links to fan fic pornography about them.

But I agree society is broken for a LOT of reasons.

[flex]

I tried to sneak out of the house once with my 14-year-old braless self and she raised the roof. My top wasn't sheer but it was the principle of the thing. lol

[1confused1]

Lol "we never expected to get this much attention "

Liars.

[aliciaflorrick]

Queen Dick, Hibernating Bear Excellent observation. I concur.

[pixy0stix]

I'm old, but not old enough to be scandalized by this. They're both gorgeous and have the money to see specialists like dermatologists to keep them gorgeous.

[adhdfashion]

This just makes me want to be 16 again.

I was about to say, boys are out their parading around half naked too.

How are teens these days so freaking gorgeous? Seriously, pretty girls and boys are a dime a dozen now. How is this happening?

I noticed this recently as well. I was a teen in the 80s and back then not only was fashion hideous, but we didn't have You Tube gurus telling us how to do our makeup and style ourselves. So we all looked like oompa loompas with too orange makeup and blue eyeshadow. I feel like teenage girls are more polished. They also get braces way younger so their teeth look good by the time they hit their teen years. They have all these acne products these days like ProActiv. Back in my day it was nothing to see teens with giant metal braces and zits.

I still see awkward looking teens but not like when I was young. I didn't look like these girls even in college.

A lot of it is makeup and money.  And the fact that average looking teens don't go viral.

LOL I will still insist my crowd was worse. I went to high school from 1985-1989 in New Jersey. Need I say more? lol
My highlights were from Sun In. My makeup was Cover Girl. If I had a zit, I had to use orange Clearasil to try to cover it up. Life was hard. 

But really these days I'll see teens getting their nails done in the salon and getting waxed. I just don't remember anyone in my school doing that. Nails and brow waxing was done when I got to college. If you had bushy brows, you just had to deal. 

[prairiedawn]

i swear it's the hormones in meat or red dye number 4 or something! there is a girl in my last youth group who looked exactly like a disney princess
