Millie Bobby Brown can no longer with comments about her physical appearance or the changes he is experiencing in his body for the simple fact of growing. The actress, who jumped to fame in 2016 when she was still a girl for her role in the successful Netflix series Stranger Thingshas reacted on Instagram to the articles that have been written about it and what is being said through social networks.
“I want to dedicate a moment to address something that I think is bigger than what happens with me, something that affects each young man who grows under public scrutiny. I think it is necessary to talk about this. I started in this industry when I was 10 years old. I grew up in front of the world, and for some reason, people can't grow with me”, The actress began, who is now 21 years old.
The young woman complains that society does not accept that she is growing: “Instead, They act as if it had to remain frozen in timeas if it should still be the girl who made season 1 of Stranger Things. And as I do not, now I am an easy target. ”
The press
Millie Bobby Brown He focused on the headlines of the press, written by “people who are desperate to tear down young women” (“Why do you get both those of the Z Generation and Millie Bobby Brown?”, By Lydia Hawken; “What has Millie Bobby Brown done on her face?”, By John Ely; “Millie Bobby Brown, confused with someone's mother while guiding her younger sister Av through the”, by Cassie Carpenter; A wild blow to the new look From 'Mommy Makeover' by Millie Bobby Brown “, written by Bethan Edwards,” amplifying an insult instead of questioning why an adult man mocks the appearance of a young woman “).
“This is not journalism. This is harassment. The fact that adult writers are spending their time dissecting my face, my body, my decisions, is disturbing. The fact that some of these articles are written by women? Even worse. We always talk about supporting and encouraging young women, but when the time comes, it seems easier to tear them down by clicks. Disillusioned people cannot bear to see a girl become a woman in her terms, not her own. I refuse to apologize for growing. I refuse to get smaller to fit with the unrealistic expectations of people who can't stand to see a girl become a woman, ”he said.
“They will not be ashamed for how I see myself, how I look, or how I introduce myself. We have become a society where it is much easier to criticize than to offer a compliment. Why is the common reaction to say something horrible instead of saying something pleasant? If you have a problem with that, I have to ask myself, what really makes you feel so uncomfortable? Let's do better. Not only for me, but for every young man who deserves to grow without fear of being destroyed by simply existing“, ditch.
