toxic beauty standards definitely also play a huge role in this. Maybe some kids are just buying the products for the sake of having the product, but a lot of these kids are caring A LOT about their appearances from an alarmingly young age.
fr tho like i saw this kid in sephora and she was like “omg i neeeeeed this retinol cream!!” and her mom bought it for her and as she was walking out the store she said “mom what is retinoooool?” so that just shows they want it for having it and being “preppy” to their friends
i can definitely agree with this i think it’s more of the kids on social media who want it for the sake of having it but as a kid who was bullied consistently in school its crazy how much she brought up my appearance and i think bullying takes a huge role in growing up to early along with being on the internet
Ikr I saw this video of a little girl wanting this spray type skincare product and the mum asked "do you know what this product is used for??" And the kid had no idea, she was just like "you put it on your face I think??"
imo, kids should be allowed to be in sephora BUT have parental supervision. also, parents should know when to stop their kids. 7 year olds should NOT be using retinol.
Parents should rlly supervise their kids, because bad stuff can occur if not tbh.. i swear most parents dont care what their young children do online, its rlly concerning.
As an old gen alpha (almost gen z) i am soo grateful that my parents are normal parents. I played with toys, i touched grass, i didnt use skincare when i was nine. It makes me uncomfortable seeing 5 year old looking older than me
i’m 22 and my 11 year old sister is using drunken elephant, sol de janiero, etc. and i don’t even use those products 😭 and i can confirm social media (TIKTOK) is influencing these kids to grow up faster
im a 'tween', and i love and know a lot of people who love makeup. i like doing artsy eye makeup and stuff, but im not using retinol or serums. i think kis should be alloweed into sephora, but they shouldnt be brainwashed intothinking they need a shitload of skincare. that part is the fault of social media and parents for allowing their children to buy these products
THIS!! I used skincare since I was 10 years old, i first started out with just cleansing my face and now i added like a moisturizer . ITS OKAY to like makeup!! What is NOT okay is thinking YOU (Get into a pov of a 7 years old) NEED ALL THESE ANTI AGE STUFF LIKE.
@@Harryismysavior Fr!!! It’s ok, healthy, and recommended to wash your face and moisturizer as you enter puberty, but no one under 16-18 MINIMUN needs expensive anti aging serums.
Realll! It’s totally fine for 7-10 year olds to face wash and like a moisturizer maybe, but it is not ok for them to be using retinol, or super expensive products like drunk elephant. It’s totally fine to like makeup, but not getting all anti aging stuff, like they’re only 7- 10! 😭
I’m a tween also and I just don’t care about skincare products or makeup and I think it’s CRAZY that other kids my age are so dependent on that kind of stuff and they feel so insecure without it that they need to shovel pounds of makeup on their face to feel pretty
Thank you SO SO SO much for adressing this. I have been avoiding all makeup shops especially sephora. It is the stanley apocalypse, the skincare apocalypse, and the 10 year old apocalypse.
I think the main issue is that little girls don’t really have any.. little girl trends. Back in my day (I’m 15 lmao), we had shopkins, squishiest, slime etc and celebrities to moon over. kids now don’t really have that I think, so they turn to teen/adult trends. It made me sad tbh
yes!! and also, another issue is we blame the children. it's the parents. here's my credit card, 2 iPhones, and an ipad! and they never say no or actually.. parent them.
As an old/early gen alpha (nearly gen z)I agree! 10 YEAR OLDS!!! LITERALLY 10 YEAR OLDS!!! are needing dermatologists? The only time when a person needs a dermatologist is when they have skin problems or skin cancer. If they had no skincare rn they wouldn’t be needing a dermatologist. I think it’s a sign of the parents letting the iPad raising them instead of their own. Does these 10 year olds have a iq of a spoon? they have NO wrinkles. The only thing they need is a very very gentle cleanser, then moisturizer and in the day spf. NOT toner’s (well maybe, idk ur skin) or serums, AND NOT retinol. Now I do use skincare products, but it’s not crazy like this. Brands like CeraVe, is one of the best brand in skincare category.
honestly, even if your older so much skincare isn't good. my friends and cousins lovee skincare so they make me do it with them and it really irritates my skin and turns me red for like 5 days
Ive had rlly bad acne since i was abt 9 yrs old and i do too believe that kids do not need retinol and stuff like that. Washing ur face and moisurising is all u need if u have clear skin.
they annoy the fuck out of me lmao , go outside , watch a cartoon , play with a barbie , they dont want it for the benefits , they want it for the packaging and just to have it . pisses me off since when i was a little kid i had to beg for $5 for an ice cream ☠️ why can’t they just do kid things ?!
Oh I apologize, I still do all of these things. I get bullied for acting childish even though I act my age. I'm 12 and I still get toys and watch cartoons in some my little pony pajam as. I run around outside with my younger siblings. It's quite fun, I want my childhood to last so I don't act mature when I'm still a kid
@@R4in3dr0pdamn its pretty stupid that you get bullied for that.. im in highschool and i know some people that still play outside, watch cartoons, and stuff like that, actually most people do that where i am. dont have any shame in what you do for fun bro 💯💯
@@hiccup7457Yea!! I’m in high school and still watch cartoons and go outsides it’s genuinely so fun; I hate when ppl are judge mental and make fun of eachother like just love life and have fun and do what you want if it’s not harming you or anyone !!
even if they wanted it for the benefits they should not be getting these products or even wanting them at such a young age, aside from the fact that its NOT made for their skin its abt how they care sm abt their appearance
dude im thirteen and I walked into Sephora the other day for acne patches bc yk im at the age a puberty and I get acne and pimples, and this girl SCANNED me down head to toe and went wisper to her friend about me being a Sephora 10 year old like babe mind your biz
It sucks to be judged, and lumped in with the people who are ruining it for the rest of us… I totally agree with you. Try to put yourselves in the shoes of the employee who has probably put up with a lot and make sure you can show them and compose yourself like “hey, I know I look like a kid but I belong here” in a mature way, that will really make a huge impression. try to approach it with some empathy. I’ve worked places like that and I tried to make sure I could tell the difference between dumbass kids and like, teens who need their products and if they prove in their behavior that they’re older and more mature I leave them alone, or try to help them find products they will like. You can definitely tell the difference when there is like a bratty kid. The people you dealt with are definitely just mean… we should all try to be nicer to each other, I’m sorry you had to deal with that judgement. I feel awful that young kids are feeling like they have to be so perfect and have all these products because social media has totally warped society.
not only is this true.. theres also a side where 7-10 year olds are being influenced by there own parents.. i saw a live of it and it made me so upset she was like 8?.. and she was showing off her dior lip oil, bubble moisturizer, serums, ect and her mom was encouraging even doing her own makeup while she did that. even as a younger person who does makeup i agree honestly, its annoying and horrible what kids and parents are doing now. (NOT ALL PARENTS OR KIDS, yk what im talking about.)
when i was 10, i got into skincare and i asked “mom what is retinol?” and she said it burns her face and gives her acne so i wouldnt use it. and i ofc didnt use it. now im older and my mom said she lied because i didn’t need it at the time (i still don’t need it) but now like 8 year olds are using it and im literally convinced that our world is getting worse and worse everyday.
yknow how with some meds you have to up the dose because its effects wear off as your body gets used to it? i have a theory that all the kids buying skin care before they even have had a single pimple are gonna get the same effect. like when they actually hit puberty their body will be so used to the skin care that its not gonna matter and it'll have no effect
That could be true but then again the skin care they're using is made for teens to adults and actually hards their skin.. So maybe it might also make their ace, etc worse 🤔
i completely agree with you on the discipline part bc i’ve see and had family who’s kids are exactly what you described, because they don’t show their kids the right way to act 😭😭
as a kid that has gone to sephora ONCE with my sephora obsessed friend, i completely agree. My friend and her dad had brought me to sephora because my friend, we’ll call her A, forced her dad to bring her to sephora. Since it was my first time ever going, I used almost one sample thing, but not buying anything because I felt bad for her dad. I did end up getting freebies, and so did A.. but A whined the whole way home because she didn’t get a THING. Since my mom saw that I had gone to sephora with my friend once, she got me a $75 sephora gift card.. i haven’t used it for over two years. My friend asked for it, but I said no. I don’t intend to use the gift card, but it does last forever. 😅
I have a similar friend, (this happened a few months ago.) She was at my house after school, and she wanted to see my skincare? I just showed her my cleanser, sunscreen, and moisturiser, and she said, "Where the fuck is your retinol, night cream, and bronzi drops?" Even when I went to her house, she was showing me her "dream skincare routine" and she was whining to her parents about wanting drunk elephant and bubble...
As a homeschooled 12 year old girl, I could never agree more that elementary-Middle schoolers shouldn't go to make up stores 😭 I feel bad for the employees, and why don't there parents discipline them if I ever did that I'd get whipped with a slipper by my mother 💀
I think the main reason why ten years old want skin care is because they are heavily influenced by social media despite being so young. Parents should more control over their children.
your so right i have a sister that is NINE, and all she wants for her birthday is skincare, i brought her a squishmelow thingy the other day and she said "ew i dont want that im not 5" I WOULD HAVE LOVED A SQUISHMELOW AT 9 LIKE SHIT I WAS WEARING LIKE THEM SHOPKIN SHIRTS AND CARRYING AROUND MY MY LITTLE PONY, im so sad that this generation of kids didnt get a childhood like we did! tbh social media ruined a lot of childhoods
i am 17 and i have cystic acne, and I have to take accutane.. i started having ance issues when i was 13, but i started a long and hard skin care routine on my skin. which made it 100% WAY WORSE. DO NOT USE INSANE ROUTINES. now years later i am learning you need. moisturizer and a SOFT cleanser for your face and wash ur face once a day. ( ofc i mean for normal people unless ur skins is sensitive or etc..) you do not need all this stuff for your face at 10 years old or even 15 or 16! please y’all be careful with ur skin.
I’m 10 and I personally hate drunk elephant, it’s expensive and does nothing for your skin. I do go to Sephora sometimes, all I have is perfume, lip balm, and the ordinary
@@_sillymolly_ I mean ur good since lip balm is good for ur age, perfume is good IF it fits ur age (i reccomend stuff like vs bodymists or some other not heavy smells) and the ordinary stuff depends. I have a gen alpha friend who is born in 2014 and tries to fit in without those and I helped her aswell.
Apothecary can apply to this. An apothecary usually has medicine related goods and herbs which also include tinctures, elixirs, and potions of which make-up can be described in a different way.
Hello Ben this is my drama: I’m currently going through the awkward middle school phase and I’m built like an Oompa Loompa. Taller kids in my grade annoy me and pick me up like a fucking American girl doll, what should I do🥰🥰
Oh my god,this is so true! there's 12 year olds in my school that have full on drawers of Sephora makeup and foundations, they got like full on 3 pounds of makeup on everyday!
I regret sitting like a shrimp during my adolecence playing minecraft and fornite😭but I'm glad my parents waited til junior high to give me my first touch screen tablet then smartphone. I did end up spending a lot of time on those and video games, but I'm glad I had a childhood without those, other than some "sandbox" games shared with my dad that sparked my appreciation for gaming🥺
my best friend was in the hospital because of an eating disorder, and one of the other girls in our friend group, who were not too close with basically blackmailed my best friend into telling her why she was in the hospital. Idk know how to confront the girl or if I even should it made my friend feel rlly uncomfortable. PS. my friends out and doing fine I hope your doing well Ben, love your content you make my day.
it's so scary and discouraging how we (society) are prioritizing beauty standards and there's a HUGE influx of virtual entertainment (i.e., streaming, social media, influencers, content creators, etc). this is what this generation is growing up in and society is failing them. what about their education?? in the US, education is at an all time low and it should be prioritized. i just want to grab those parents by their shoulders and demand them to wake tf up and pay more attention to what media they're consuming and how they are doing academically. kids are not at fault-we should stop ridiculing them or, on the other hand, exploiting them (like sephora and sad beige moms, they're not a source of income, an accessory, or an aesthetic). let kids be kids!!
DRAMA (sort of) I have finals this week and I have been really stressed out but my mother fails to understand what I feel and she keeps on getting mad at me for being stressed out, and calling me lazy. It is just so frustrating. Does anyone have advise.
I'm not defending ANY of those children but hear me out, some people do have insecurities and when I was around 11 or 12 I remember having VERY bad ache and I was very self conscious of this so having limited skin care or "Makeup" could make kids feel better about themselves. What theses kids are doing is not okay at all just putting another perspective out there. Love you so much Ben your videos are so funny and make my day can't imagine this platform without you! 💕
My sister is a Sephora kid. I feel like teens can get skin care but like only face wash and the basics. But the fact that 9-10 year olds get expensive makeup, skincare and water bottles. ALL THINGS THEY DONT need. Is wild
As a kid, WHO HAS THE WORST ACNE 🤑🤑❗️❗️ I would NEVER go to sephora for skincare. The first reason is because of social anxiety. Second, my parents are smarter and wiser than me, so they know what i need. I WILL NEVER UNDERSTAND PEOPLE MY AGE RUNNING AROUND BEING FUCKING DEMONOMIC IN A FUCKING MAKEUP SHOP LJKE😭😭
i totally agree with you. i have gen X parents and my mom is closer to millennial than my dad and you can see the difference of parenting. my mom still punishes my younger siblings, but not as harsh. like my dad would totally still spanck my siblings if it wasnt for my mom. anyways the mix makes well-respective children who literally only stepped in a sephore once (didnt even get anything) who have limited screen time. its OKAY to punish your kids or raise your voice.
I started washing my face when I was like 8 because I have acne prone skin (I am 12 rn) BUT I FIND IT CRAZY THAT GIRL MY AGE ARE SPENDING LIKE 300-500 DOLLARS ON SKINCARE? (my skincare or whatever you wanna call it is like 40 dollars in all)
SEPARATING THIS FROM MY PREVIOUS COMMENT BUT MY DRAMAAAAAA i have never felt so uncomfortable until today. i was on my way to uni and i was sitting next to the driver and he's like talking to another student from our uni and he's like ranting about someone being gay and he was clearly like so angry and it sounded like he was being so homophobic when it wasn't even about me. thank god i was listening to your podcast, which made me feel better in some way, but yeah. ily and ur vids
these kids need a reality check bye 😭😭 kids on the other side of the world can't afford food don't have any thing and bros literally crying about not getting drunk elephant 🤓☝️
It’s also a thing where there isn’t many places where pre-teens and teens can hang out anymore. Due to the internet, they’re some-what forced to grow up faster in order to “fit” into the new norms that gets set upon them by influencers.
i’m 12 and i go to sephora with my mom, she lets me buy a few thing BUT im respectful to the employees, testers, etc. i hope the the 10 yr olds and younger be more respectful tho
I think remember going to sephora as a joke with my korean friend after some korean bbq with our family few months ago (in context we're both korean so we're strictly not allowed to have lipstick etc.) And this korean bbq was near a small area kind of like a mall but outside me and her both knew about how there were sterotypes of little kids liking makeup which we both thought was a lie. But funny enough there was one right next to that korean bbq, so we thought we could check it out as a joke. and funnyly enough... we saw 7 toddlers there in total, not kids, toddlers asking stuff for their mom.
But like it’s actually sad for Gen alpha because Ngl I don’t think any of them have like played with barbies/ shopkins and all those stuff I had when I was younger like it’s actually sad when you walk into a restaurant and see little kids with tablets/phones to entertain them,when I was younger I never even had an iPad or tablet and these kids have like not had a childhood it’s actually sad
toxic beauty standards definitely also play a huge role in this. Maybe some kids are just buying the products for the sake of having the product, but a lot of these kids are caring A LOT about their appearances from an alarmingly young age.

The fact Gen Alpha is already having to go to dermatologists due to irritation because of their skincare routine (especially using retinol) is insane.

My friend and her dad had brought me to sephora because my friend, we’ll call her A, forced her dad to bring her to sephora. Since it was my first time ever going, I used almost one sample thing, but not buying anything because I felt bad for her dad. I did end up getting freebies, and so did A.. but A whined the whole way home because she didn’t get a THING. Since my mom saw that I had gone to sephora with my friend once, she got me a $75 sephora gift card.. i haven’t used it for over two years. My friend asked for it, but I said no. I don’t intend to use the gift card, but it does last forever. 😅
I have a similar friend, (this happened a few months ago.) She was at my house after school, and she wanted to see my skincare? I just showed her my cleanser, sunscreen, and moisturiser, and she said, "Where the fuck is your retinol, night cream, and bronzi drops?" Even when I went to her house, she was showing me her "dream skincare routine" and she was whining to her parents about wanting drunk elephant and bubble...

AAAA THIS WAS MY SUGGESTION LAST POD! TYSM FOR DOING IT BENN THIS EP LOOKS SO GOOD
I know this kid who's literally only seven and has her entire birthday wishlist filled with skincare.
They should put “must be over 13 to use tester” signs by all the testers but they would probably ignore it
As a homeschooled 12 year old girl, I could never agree more that elementary-Middle schoolers shouldn't go to make up stores 😭 I feel bad for the employees, and why don't there parents discipline them if I ever did that I'd get whipped with a slipper by my mother 💀
Imagine if it’s not 10 year olds and its just Ben in disguise
Sephora kids are a whole different level
17:46 WE HALLUCINATING WITH THIS ONE 🔥🔥🔥🗣️🗣️🗣️
As a 2012 kid I'm so happy I was raised like a normal child with toys and playing outside bro
I think the main reason why ten years old want skin care is because they are heavily influenced by social media despite being so young. Parents should more control over their children.
your so right i have a sister that is NINE, and all she wants for her birthday is skincare, i brought her a squishmelow thingy the other day and she said "ew i dont want that im not 5" I WOULD HAVE LOVED A SQUISHMELOW AT 9 LIKE SHIT I WAS WEARING LIKE THEM SHOPKIN SHIRTS AND CARRYING AROUND MY MY LITTLE PONY, im so sad that this generation of kids didnt get a childhood like we did! tbh social media ruined a lot of childhoods
FR LIKE I WOULD STILL WANT THAT NOW EVEN THO I AM A JUNIOR IN HS LOL LIKE I STILL AM INTO CUTE PLUSHIES LIKE SQUISHMALLOW'S AND STUFF
actually so sad that lil kids didnt even get the chance to be actual kids
IM A SOPHMORE AND I LOVE SQUISHMALLOWS
AT THAT AGE I WOULD'VE SACRIFICED A N Y T H I N G FOR JUST A SQUISHMALLOW OF LIKE A CAT R SUM
i don’t see u as an influencer u have ur own spot as “ben🥰” in my mind tbh
i am 17 and i have cystic acne, and I have to take accutane.. i started having ance issues when i was 13, but i started a long and hard skin care routine on my skin. which made it 100% WAY WORSE. DO NOT USE INSANE ROUTINES. now years later i am learning you need. moisturizer and a SOFT cleanser for your face and wash ur face once a day. ( ofc i mean for normal people unless ur skins is sensitive or etc..) you do not need all this stuff for your face at 10 years old or even 15 or 16! please y’all be careful with ur skin.
I was born in 2009 and now I'm 15 I only use two products on my face and that's it
im actually so glad you posted this week, because i thought the charged lemonade finally got to you 🙏
I’m 10 and I personally hate drunk elephant, it’s expensive and does nothing for your skin. I do go to Sephora sometimes, all I have is perfume, lip balm, and the ordinary
Whatever you say full grown adult.
10 years old with perfume???
@@erika40101 are 10 year olds not allowed to smell good?
@@_sillymolly_fr
@@_sillymolly_ I mean ur good since lip balm is good for ur age, perfume is good IF it fits ur age (i reccomend stuff like vs bodymists or some other not heavy smells) and the ordinary stuff depends. I have a gen alpha friend who is born in 2014 and tries to fit in without those and I helped her aswell.
Apothecary can apply to this. An apothecary usually has medicine related goods and herbs which also include tinctures, elixirs, and potions of which make-up can be described in a different way.
Hello Ben this is my drama: I’m currently going through the awkward middle school phase and I’m built like an Oompa Loompa. Taller kids in my grade annoy me and pick me up like a fucking American girl doll, what should I do🥰🥰
I’m 10 years old and thank God I’m watching people like you and kurtis Connor
Oh my god,this is so true! there's 12 year olds in my school that have full on drawers of Sephora makeup and foundations, they got like full on 3 pounds of makeup on everyday!
17:41 That happens to me all of the time. But your reaction is hilarious😂😂
I regret sitting like a shrimp during my adolecence playing minecraft and fornite😭but I'm glad my parents waited til junior high to give me my first touch screen tablet then smartphone. I did end up spending a lot of time on those and video games, but I'm glad I had a childhood without those, other than some "sandbox" games shared with my dad that sparked my appreciation for gaming🥺
my best friend was in the hospital because of an eating disorder, and one of the other girls in our friend group, who were not too close with basically blackmailed my best friend into telling her why she was in the hospital. Idk know how to confront the girl or if I even should it made my friend feel rlly uncomfortable. PS. my friends out and doing fine I hope your doing well Ben, love your content you make my day.
Ten year old Sephora kids watching this
👀😭
fr
the issue is that kids don't have places to hang out it's actually sad
“Locust like swarms” 😭
it's so scary and discouraging how we (society) are prioritizing beauty standards and there's a HUGE influx of virtual entertainment (i.e., streaming, social media, influencers, content creators, etc). this is what this generation is growing up in and society is failing them. what about their education?? in the US, education is at an all time low and it should be prioritized. i just want to grab those parents by their shoulders and demand them to wake tf up and pay more attention to what media they're consuming and how they are doing academically. kids are not at fault-we should stop ridiculing them or, on the other hand, exploiting them (like sephora and sad beige moms, they're not a source of income, an accessory, or an aesthetic). let kids be kids!!
Help. I go to school where every popular kid is a Sephora kid. Nothing is real-
Fr 💀 we can’t escape them
@@SillieLilGuy HOW DID YOU GET HERE LULU
@@XxIfOnlySophiexX I have my ways 👽
as a 10 year old im not afraid to admit using skincare at my age isnt necessary
DRAMA (sort of)
I have finals this week and I have been really stressed out but my mother fails to understand what I feel and she keeps on getting mad at me for being stressed out, and calling me lazy. It is just so frustrating. Does anyone have advise.
I'm not defending ANY of those children but hear me out, some people do have insecurities and when I was around 11 or 12 I remember having VERY bad ache and I was very self conscious of this so having limited skin care or "Makeup" could make kids feel better about themselves. What theses kids are doing is not okay at all just putting another perspective out there. Love you so much Ben your videos are so funny and make my day can't imagine this platform without you! 💕
As a teen, the only time I’ve ever stepped foot in a Sephora was for my mom’s bday 😅
Same but I went 2x for different reasons lol
My sister is a Sephora kid. I feel like teens can get skin care but like only face wash and the basics. But the fact that 9-10 year olds get expensive makeup, skincare and water bottles. ALL THINGS THEY DONT need. Is wild
EXACTLYYYY LIKE IF TEENS ARE GOING THRU BAD STUFF W THEIR SKIN THEY CAN BUY SKINCARE ND MAKEUP BUT FOR LITERAL KIDS??? HELL NO
As a kid, WHO HAS THE WORST ACNE 🤑🤑❗️❗️ I would NEVER go to sephora for skincare. The first reason is because of social anxiety. Second, my parents are smarter and wiser than me, so they know what i need. I WILL NEVER UNDERSTAND PEOPLE MY AGE RUNNING AROUND BEING FUCKING DEMONOMIC IN A FUCKING MAKEUP SHOP LJKE😭😭
Yes, it dosent matter if Sephora loses samples but the employees who aren’t being payed enough are the people who have to clean it up
Ben needs help he seems to be going insane
Ben if you need help I'm freaking here
My whole feed on social media has became people talking about these LITERAL 4-13 YEAR OLDS. Anyways thanks for covering this Ben
Ben’s outfit fit is giving Winnie the Pooh
That’s what I said 😭
@@1.swiftie lmao
"skincares a scam!!!" SAYS THE MOST GORGEOUS PERSON WITH THE CLEAREST SKIN IVE SEEN EVER???
I'm 15 and the only thing i get at Sephora is mascara and eyeshadow 😭 so glad my 13 year sister isn't one if those kids
i am unable to go into a sephora without seeing a 9 year old and its insane. also, so happy that you posted lmao
My math grades got sooo much better since I began listening to DRAMA MAMA while studying 😮 THIS SH HITS DIFFERENT (:
@@v3ndetta-sings this the type of stuff they need to teach in schools 👽 f triangles 🥰
Sephora after the ten year olds buy skincare “i’m rich 🤑 “
23:05 LMAOOO I LOVE BEN
personally when i was 10 i needed skincare for acne and stuff because like- idk- but the 10 yr olds in sephora are actually crazy
I so live for his videos
i totally agree with you. i have gen X parents and my mom is closer to millennial than my dad and you can see the difference of parenting. my mom still punishes my younger siblings, but not as harsh. like my dad would totally still spanck my siblings if it wasnt for my mom. anyways the mix makes well-respective children who literally only stepped in a sephore once (didnt even get anything) who have limited screen time. its OKAY to punish your kids or raise your voice.
6:49 ASMR? 😨 😱
I'm a 12 year old goth/grunge girl and the only reason I've been in a sephora is because I was shopping with my dad for birthday gifts for my mom. 😭
I started washing my face when I was like 8 because I have acne prone skin (I am 12 rn) BUT I FIND IT CRAZY THAT GIRL MY AGE ARE SPENDING LIKE 300-500 DOLLARS ON SKINCARE? (my skincare or whatever you wanna call it is like 40 dollars in all)
The last part when you read the drama today was really nice, it really makes me feel seen (:
Fr YOUR LIKE- 5- YOU DONT NEED SKINCARE 😭
23:34 I look at you like your my favorite person in the world 🌎 ❤
SEPARATING THIS FROM MY PREVIOUS COMMENT BUT MY DRAMAAAAAA
i have never felt so uncomfortable until today. i was on my way to uni and i was sitting next to the driver and he's like talking to another student from our uni and he's like ranting about someone being gay and he was clearly like so angry and it sounded like he was being so homophobic when it wasn't even about me.
thank god i was listening to your podcast, which made me feel better in some way, but yeah. ily and ur vids
these kids need a reality check bye 😭😭 kids on the other side of the world can't afford food don't have any thing and bros literally crying about not getting drunk elephant 🤓☝️
FR LMAOOO
I Never knew Ben would talk about this…😨
As a kid my skincare is putting water on my face and that slays
It’s also a thing where there isn’t many places where pre-teens and teens can hang out anymore. Due to the internet, they’re some-what forced to grow up faster in order to “fit” into the new norms that gets set upon them by influencers.
As a minor I use regular skincare like face wash and moisturizer AND THATS ALL YOU NEED AT THE AGE OF 11
6:15 IM DYING 😭😭😭
Hi ben
i’m 12 and i go to sephora with my mom, she lets me buy a few thing BUT im respectful to the employees, testers, etc. i hope the the 10 yr olds and younger be more respectful tho
bro is NOT an influencer 😭🙏
They are the first generation of ipad kids growing up😭
HELP BEN U LOOK LIKE WINNYTHEPOO
LMFAO HE DOES
23:40 - To be honest, I just think of "funny guy I watch when I'm bored" 💀
“i’m actually gonna punch myself in the balls for an hour after this so i’m infertile” LMAO💀
I think remember going to sephora as a joke with my korean friend after some korean bbq with our family few months ago (in context we're both korean so we're strictly not allowed to have lipstick etc.) And this korean bbq was near a small area kind of like a mall but outside me and her both knew about how there were sterotypes of little kids liking makeup which we both thought was a lie. But funny enough there was one right next to that korean bbq, so we thought we could check it out as a joke. and funnyly enough... we saw 7 toddlers there in total, not kids, toddlers asking stuff for their mom.
As a gen alpha, I can indeed say that not all of us are bad. BUT MOST OF US ARE AWFUL… but especially the younger ones (under 6) are REALLY bad :|
True:(((
Bro is gonna plead insanity.
But like it’s actually sad for Gen alpha because Ngl I don’t think any of them have like played with barbies/ shopkins and all those stuff I had when I was younger like it’s actually sad when you walk into a restaurant and see little kids with tablets/phones to entertain them,when I was younger I never even had an iPad or tablet and these kids have like not had a childhood it’s actually sad
