#Cuties is a somewhat uncomfortable watch. But that's the point.

Exposing difficult topics isn't easy nor comfortable.

I thought it was worth watching. It showed me how much harder it is for girls today than when I was 11.

And I kept wanting to tell Amy to enjoy being a kid!

When I was 11 I was dealing with getting my bra snapped by other girls. And having girls trying to embarrass me into proving I had gotten my period (which shouldn't be embarrassing).

I can't imagine how I would have handled social media at that age.

The excess of sexualized imagery is detrimental to children. Preteens in particular are at an awkward stage and need guidance to navigate through this challenging landscape.

I'm glad that #Cuties is encouraging that conversation.
