#TellMeImPretty

So I ran across something interesting on Instagram. I was posting a photo for the 4th of July of the fair food I was eating. So me being a foodie I hashtaged the word "fatty". Thinking back to my previous post about girls posting #skinny I searched who else used the hashtag I used, "#fatty." 

When I got to the page of other users who posted with this hashtag, I saw a bunch of photos of food.... then as usual some skinny little girl in a bikini. I was like "here we go, some girl who thinks she's fat and clearly isn't!" Not necessarily the case. This girl does not have body issues, she has attention craving issues. 

I opened her photo and saw the FLOOOOOD of hashtags she used. She has other photos where she uses her lack of makeup on her pretty face to fish for compliments by posting hashtags like "#ugly, #shity, #gross, etc". Then people who want her approval and friendship comment saying she is beautiful, and flawless. Which is what she really wants, she wants people to tell her she's pretty to boost her confidence. 

As I browse her profile I notice that she has in her bio that she is......DRUMROLLLLLLL.......

 Fifteen years old....! (Bish wut?) she posted photos of her in a sexy costume, and others of her in skimpy clothes, and pushing up her boobs. Girl.... You're under 18, and asking guys for their KIK... (KIK is like a way to text people without giving your number.) I have no idea how KIK works, if there are age limits, anything like that; but I CAN bet she's talking to guys who are way older. It's like AIM from my day, but instead of chat rooms you post pictures and beg people to KIK you. REAL CLASSY! (I'll KIcK her...) 

The amount of hashtags used indicates what kind of people you're looking for to see the photo. Clearly by posting #kikme #hitmeup #single..... We know she's not trying to get other people like her to view something interesting. She's only asking for attention from others, mainly men if I have my guess. Another thing I found interestingly that all of her photos are of her, selfies and such, no food pics, no flowers, no pets... Just suggestive photos that make her look good. 

I can't judge her for being conceited, but I can judge her for being too young and engaging in adult ideas. Maybe I'm wrong, but I was not doing stuff like that at 15. When I was 15 I was picking out glitters for my Myspace page... I thought I was cool on Myspace and AIM... Clearly I was deprived of iPhones and Instagram. I would smack my little cousin who is 15 if she ever posted photos like this girl... Shoot, I would smack my 18 year old cousin if she posted photos like that!! I will never understand why girls need so much approval. 

It's seems as though every "like" they get is equal to a minute of breathing. In other words, they live for the attention.
