Today’s Blog Post
4 Million People or more are Judging One 13 Year Old – Is She Pretty or Ugly? What do you think?
Actually the number as of 6:22 AM is 3,997,787 people that have looked at this video.
After my morning walk and coming back to complete this posting – now at 9:26 AM 4,013,112 have now viewed this video.
The video was first uploaded to YouTube on December 17, 2011… just three months and 9 days ago. Can you imagine.
More than that, 101,842 comments have been made about the video. And also 12,867 “likes”, and 39,676 “dislikes”.
Who would ever become that popular and cause such a furor?
Her name is Faye Gibson, lives in Denver. Colorado, and is 13 years old. Her daddy left their family when she was young. Her mom did not know that Faye had posted this video until later… and from what I read knew nothing about her daughter’s insecurities.
There are a million questions that pop into my mind as I read Heather Mallick’s article in the Star yesterday. How sad this is that a very young girl is subject to a life that is so void of meaning. And even more sad is the way that people viewing her video have reacted.
In the comments below the video you can read some of the worst forms of venom ever spewed out to this little girl. Even our politicians don’t get this kind of stuff handed to them. But remember she is only 13 years old.
You need to be aware of what is happening in this huge world for 13 year olds and teens that are so insecure.
Hug you grandkids today and reassure them of their worth. And if you have a daughter that maybe struggling with feelings like Faye – wake up and do something about it!
