Purity, Shame, and Surgery | How Hollywood Warps Our Perception of Puberty

In this video I talk about how kid and tween channels, like Disney Channel and Nickelodeon, have warped our sense of puberty since the early 2000s by getting rid of the preteen phase in order to control their young employees changing bodies to get more time and money out of them, and how that not only is detrimental to the stars themselves, but to the audiences that look up to them.

So let’s take a look back at Hilary Duff in Lizzie McGuire, Raven-Symoné in That’s So Raven and the Cheetah Girls, Miley Cyrus in Hannah Montana, Ariana Grande in Victorious, and many others to see how this entertainment has twisted what we think puberty and growing up should look like.
