Teenage girls and those stupid fucking photos give me the rage

I have stepdaughters and as a result have them and a few of their friends (who added me) on fb. They are constantly taking selfies of themselves either on their own or in groups with their hands over their faces so all you can see is one eye or a bit of skin. Either that it it's photos taken in the mirror with a flash so all you can see is their shoes or a shoulder. And there are hundreds of them.

It gives me a totally irrational rage. What is the fucking point? There are going to be a whole generation of girls who will have next to no photos of themselves at this age. I really don't get it. Beautiful girls who won't show their faces. Just why?

I think I need to hide most of these posts on FB before I give myself a hernia Confused HmmAngry

Maybe I'm just old and decrepit (32) but what's with the 'Bae' these days anyway!? Are they just so super busy they don't have time for the extra B??? Teenagers are confusing. My daughter is only 2, I can't even imagine what life will be like by the time she's reached her teens! Lol

Bae also means poop in Danish so when I see the luv u bae it makes me laugh even more. It's the insincerity of some of them. Post a photo and fish for compliments and then bitch about each other on a group messenger 😂

No BitOut my DC are grown up but my DNs and DHs DN and friends are nearly all like it. Friends daughters DN too.

The only word I can totally agree with in this post is "irrational"

QueenImpatient, 'bae' = 'before anyone else'. I only discovered this myself upon reading this thread.

I am looking at a picture right now of me aged 17. I had one of those cheap disposable cameras. Me and my bf got dressed up to the nines and did a photoshoot.

We look awful. I have an insane amount of blood red lipstick and I think my eyelashes are about to fall off. I wanted to look like Siouxsie, I think. I survived but still take selfies sometimes

It is the stupid porno pouts they do that amuse me, oh and the hand on the hip sideways pose.
Clones.

PortiaCastis · 01/07/2016 16:28

Porno??

foxtrotyankee you spend your time counting the number of teenage girls you see wearing skintight jeans? That's a bit weird.

Lolz at people calling "clone" on these girls. When have teenagers EVER been individuals?!

This thread has made my day. Also the pictures of 11-15 year olds making out on a park bench in some rainy part of England, and all they're friends commenting that they're 'Relationship goals' bleughhhh

You can now get a little fan to plug into your phone. It's probably designed to be just to cool your face, but they can also blow your hair for the ultimate selfie!
