I asked my 5 year old this question... His response: "A car. I'd be a car"
Top50Reviews brilliant
Top50Reviews Your kid is going places. If he was a car anyway? Get the joke? Haha I'll stop.
Hahahahaha how cute ❤
Lmaoooo ahah amazing
I asked my neighbours daughter and she said " I'd be a boy
"i like my body actually" gave me goosebumps its sad that as you grow older you grow sadder
@@VioletS-sb4on you can't always choose if you are sad or happy. I agree/support your comment I just know that I used to be the most positive person in the world and tho I still have a mainly positive look on the world, I got depression and I cant force myself to be happy. Theres more factors than just your outlook on life that contribute to your mood. Note: I'm not attacking you, I just wanted to state my side of the story🙂
@@VioletS-sb4on I completely understand and I think it is amazing that you are spreading that message. Thank you for the support, it means a lot to me. You seem like a great person and I wish the best for you in life❤
xo.isa_77 nope I’m very happy now!!
@@VioletS-sb4on 🥺awww you're welcome! And thank you that means so much! I'm so glad I made your day❤
@@shyannestrength1452 I love your side of the story. I just want to tell you as well that there is freedom, joy, happiness in Jesus Christ. I struggled with anxiety for a lot of my life, but when I surrendered my life to God, He changed it all around. There's so much power in humbling ourselves to Him, I would encourage you to seek him out, because He has a plan for our lives and loves us so much, we just have to open up.
KZhead: 2016: nope 2017: nope 2018: nope 2019: nope 2020: *RECOMMENDED FOR YOU*
It is the best time to have this recommended. So many people now a days care too much about how they look. In reality, at the end of the day no one cares about how you look, because they're too busy dealing with their own imperfections that they think they have. So be who YOU are!
you forgot about 2014 and 2015 lol
V Hartle this reply makes me really happy 😊
kenji why r u here
Not me, it's recommended accordingly
at first I answered “nothing.” BUT THAT LITTLE GIRL WHO SAID SHE WANTS WINGS SO SHE COULD FLYYY I WANNA FLYYYYYY 😂❤️😊 SHES SO CUTE
me too, at first I just thought I don't want anything to change, it's nothing, then hearing those girls and boys talking about superpowers and stuff that sounds like fantasies... I guess I just lost the thought of fantasies, and sometimes we need to look beyond what's real, and learning more to get this fantasies ideas into reality. Proud of those girls and boys, they're so cute 💕

Yeah, I should’ve thought about it longer. I would love wings wtf ☹️

its amazing how the children interpreted the question in a different way and answered it the only positive way possible by wishing to gain something instead of lose something
Exactly
yes I'd like to gain a few inches for my height thanks
You don't loose anything to gain in height, well maybe time idk

How did they do that? Im 10 and I would've said "Only one? Damn.. Thats hard."

I’m really hoping that someone doesn’t say their skin color.
I mom always says I should use some fairness creams to look beautiful but I think I look quite fine this way too
Nikhil Sankaran lmao wat
@@noahvaldez9730 My significant other didn't realize that people get indirectly shamed for their skin color. I went out of my way to ask my friends about their experiences. Comments like "oh dont do X because then you'll get darker" "The foundation isn't your shade but at least you look lighter" "See!? You got the lighter shade between us both" [while pointing at the parent with lighter skin with pride] Are so common It hurt my heart so bad I didn't know that comments like that weren't normal until I was about 16 And only until 18 did i realize that entire cultures of lighter skinned individuals weren't told these things From avoiding the sun, wearing long sleeves, using sunscreen even while inside the house, to using the blinds more often than not just to avoid getting darker. That isn't normal. What's scary is that a lot of people didn't know
@@noahvaldez9730 And I was one of them
@@cookiedove659 Can relate, brown parents in a nutshell 😞
The girl who is saying she has a big forehead doesn't even have a big forehead.
Noridog Namreuef that's what I was thinking
fabulous unicorn omg what's the odds? Your profile picture is the one I use for all of my other social media accounts!
She's covering it with her hair
I think that she has a big forehead but that makes her face special (in a good way) :)
Noridog Namreuef I have a big forehead (u can see in my profile pic lol) I don't mind it :P
Wings, obviously. I can't believe only one person got it right.
Lol, wings would be awesome!

That's beauty ❤️ I love how they are not like others and appreciate for how they are! They are the real ones
Metalysis hi
143 well you gotta post if u want subs😂💀 i’ll watch ur videos if u post :)
Gonna make me sad when she hits late middle school bullies and body image will start to matter more
I love how all the kids wanted to change something about themselves so that they could be different like snark teeth or a mermaid tail. All the adults wanted to change so that they would be the same as everyone else like bigger eyes or a smaller forehead. All those things are what makes us us. Love yourself💙💚🤎💛🤍🧡🖤💜❤️ Everyone is beautiful!
Wow so true and beautifully said!👌🏾❤
Very true,
Well said😊
Well... They didn't want to change smth to be different... They just wanted to be smth they thought was cool But ok yea well said Sry to be the bummer
You just blew my mind my saying that.
No one is born hating how they look Society changes that
You are right !!
I think some people are just attractive and some aren't. I don't think society teaches you what to find attractive or not.
westboy No, I think it does. It’s the beautiful girls on the magazine covers, the hot guys with the hot girls, the people who say your face has to look like this and your skin gotta be white or gotta be clear. We aren’t born thinking we’re ugly, but I think something has to influence us to think that. That may be society, other people, etc.
This is some deep shit
We are literally being brainwashed by supermodels, people

I would say the same. All of our bodies are perfect, no-one should change who they are.
That is brilliant and i really appreciate this comment.
the singing goose do you not want to be a goose
the singing goose hi Twaimz
society is so fucking cruel man, as a soc major I just find this so depressing because the world is what changes us, these little kids are at their happiest most free point in their lives and I'm literally crying because as they get older and get pressured they're going to feel bad about themselves too
I was fine while watching the video until I read your comment.... Tears fell down
freddiepoos what is "soc" like social major?
Bri Carmichael Yeah, sociology so it's like psychology but more about the social world
that's what society does. And that's the bad point about it that we all together have to change.

3:20 - 3:43 No one is talking about the lady?? That was so sweet ❤
Prim P definitely
400th like ☺️
you jus said that
Best answer ever :") I am not cryinggg😭😭😭
I'm 20 years old. When they asked the question, I paused the video and I asked myself. My soul said nothing. Then I watched the entire video and feel blessed that I think in a positive way. I love myself
Omg. I thought the same to. I felt like there's nothing to change and btw my name is also Pavitra
You are so lucky! I hope you continue to see yourself in a positive light because I'm sure you are so beautiful! Keep being you b❤
@@shyannestrength1452 right! it's such a blessing to be completely positive about yourself, i wish that for everyone, i wish it for you Shyanne. i wish it for myslef as well, when the question popped up i thought about so much id want to change. But im more encouraged to strive for positiveness and absolute self love.
@@disegomogale7394 it really is a blessing and I hope someday all who dont think positively about themselves will someday find the peace that comes with self love. Thann you for wishing it for me, I wish it for you as well. I'm sure you deserve it. Just dont ever give up, you seem like an amazing person. I thought of multiple things as well but I hope some day I can find peace with the way I look❤
Good for you.
why didnt 0:50 guy changed anything? oh right, because he's fucking perfect.
OH GOD YES
That's what I was thinking. The guy doesn't have a single thing to change and he knows it. He was just there to look cute and nervously gulp
oh my god his hair!
I was thinking the saaaame
Hope K You're completely missing the point, sweetie. The original comment was saying he IS perfect and doesn't have anything to change.....
The girl who wants a mermaid tail is me tbh
you're cute tbh :)
Thank you haha but how do you know? :)
Same
I want the shark mouth boi so I can eat mermaids with colorful perfect tails. JOKING JOKING XD but seriously I'd eat haters with that perk. lol
Christina Chinetti. i want the wings so i can flyyyy
Those kids from 5 years ago. They're so genuine. I hope they haven't changed.
Of course they changed
Are you Filipino
@@beratsuaydn1645 yes, sadly society has made at least half of them have different answers from what they said 5 years ago. If only we could still have the innocence of children smh
The last time when all of us were comfortable with our own skin was when people didn't point at us and made fun of what they think are our shortcomings. It's people around you that make you fall out of love with yourself. Never let them overpower you . 💕
"I don't think there's anything to change" MY HEART
"Like a shark mouth so I could eat a lot of things" MEEEEE
Even if I had a mouse mouth I would still find a way to eat everything 😂😂
Lol
I don’t need a shark mouth to eat a lot of things bc I already do lmao
😂😂😂😂
I really went in flashback hearing the children answers to when i was a kid .that creative and innocence fade with time . Its the society that moulds us into being insecure with our self.
This is so true. Society and who you grow up with. Even with constant comments about my bad appearance from my parents as a kid I didnt agree with them until I got older (6th or 7th grade). I used to think i was gorgeous and now i wont leave the house without makeup...
‘I chose to stay this way because it wouldn’t be me if I changed the way I looked’ love that
"can you sit on the chair?" "nope" AWWWW WHY IS SHE SO ADORABLEEE 😍
Melody Wang time stamp ?
@@lyricsbby6015 1:53
So kids want extra things Adults want to change things And elders are wise enough to understand that each one of us is unique Perfect idea of a video❤️
Jenny Cat, Bingo! That is what its all about. As you get older, you just accept that you are getting older, but you also realize that when you were 35 you wished you looked like when you were 25 when you looked really good, though at the time you felt unattractive. When 45 you wish you looked like you were 35. Now that I am 55 I realize that in the future I will look back on this time and think, wow I didn't look so bad for 55. So I have learned to be happy with where I am at, with what I have or don't have and its all good. And the best part about getting older is that you realize that you don't need to impress anyone. At all.
C.
yeah i guess im still a kid.. i would have asked for super speed or super strength! to me that matters more than appearances
(I wrote that before getting to the parts about kids) holy crap they are so pure and cute omg. I want wings too. Give me magic. I'm happy
My respect for the girl that said “to have a mermaid tail”: 📈📈📈
Shouldn’t you have equal respect for everyone even if they are insecure?
This just makes me want to protect all the innocent children in the world.
This just made me realize that we´re actually born confident in our selves, but through our lives we experience so much shit that we lose our confidence.
That's true 😔
That's why kids must be protected so they get as much love before they meet the cruel world
Me before the first kid answers "that's a sad question to ask kids." Me afterwards "oh"
Same 😌... Had tears afterwards.
do you seriousley find that a sad question to ask to kids? I once got asked as a kid '' if you could've prevented something happening to yourself or a person what would you have prevented?''
Rudi what did you answer?

How many thinks like that?
How can the text italic?? Idk how to say it😂 plis teach me😅
The girl who said "I don't think there's anything to change" has it down.
Elle Well, she did want a mermaid tail 😂
I remember when I asked this question to a fellow classmate, telling him I was simply curious to not make him feel judged, he replied with an answer I will never forget. "I wish I would never think about this question." I have nothing but respect for him.
this made me ugly cry... "i like my body actually.. yea just the mermaid tail.."
we are taught to hate ourselves, this is so sad :(
+loveurselv2 Since when?
I agree, when they ended the video with that question I realized that the last time I was comfortable in my body was in 5th grade or elementary school. After that I got bullied and slowly realized it was because of how different I was, I was and still am chubby and shy. But being bullied only made it worse now I'm depressed and suffer from extreme social anxiety. And if I could change one thing it would be to have a flat stomach.
+Stacey Ohh I think it starts around middle school...our peers teach us what it is that is considered beautiful, desirable by the opposite gender, etc. We're given messages on what we need to look like, how we need to act, what our personalities need to be, etc. I remember I used to not care what I looked like or what others thought of me..and then in 7th grade, the issues began. It's not just everyone else's fault, obviously, but is definitely a change in how our peers and us begin interacting at that age. And while it definitely gets better out of high school and once you're in college, the competition still is there, of sorts. That's why we need to be people and surround ourselves with people who break the cycle and love people for who and how they are....Being childlike in some ways is not a bad thing at all!
+loveurselv2 This is so true! Hopefully we are all learning to love ourselves for who we are and embracing others true beauty. We are perfectly, #MPERFECT. Beauty is our #MPERFECTions -Mrs. +Mr. MPERFECT
I felt bad when the Asian girl said she would make her eyes bigger, cz I think she's beautiful already. And I hope people stop judging each other cz nobody is perfect
Lina Jazzar they were but her where she's from everyone is like tht which is very normal i wonder what made her feel tht way about her beautiful eyes
Lina Jazzar yea I see, that's just sad 😔
Lina Jazzar she was saying that because of her race. People call her "Asian" therefore the stereotypes of Asians with small eyes has reached her and made her think about her appearance. We are all human. Don't address her as an "Asian girl"
James Chen It doesn't bother me when someone says that i am white.. because i am white..that's the fact.. i don't see a problem there.. she is asian.. why is it bad to say that she is asian.. it is bad to have stereotypes about other races (like that one you pointed out) not to say which race are they.. i sometines say "that girl with brown hair"..or "that blonde girl" when i don't know someone's name..i mean it is not a bad intention..sometimes it is just easier to describe a person that way.. p.s. english is not my first language so don't mind my mistakes.
Mil Ena exactly, honestly am cool with when people call me black /brown cz I know they don't know me and in fact that's who I am but it really bothers me when classmates, etc, make fun of my skintone bcz they know me.

My dad's colleague once told me I had very pointy ears. She said it was mainly because she just watched lord of the rings and it reminded her of the elves and was so apologetic about accidentally speaking without knowing how offensive the description was.. I actually love them being pointy/elf-like and was confused what was offensive. This made me feel so happy.🤣

That’s somewhere on the top of my list too
Well that’s very sweet
Because with the kid came stretch marks, I mean they aren’t appealing but why would you change that about yourself if it was to have your kid you love

I remember when I was like 5 or 6 I didnt care about what I wore or what I looked like but now I worry about my clothes and what I look like this video has a great message and executed it perfectly great job guys!
Girl don't worry about how the world looks at you!!!! In the end, it's just you. Remember that!!!!
zinnia gibson your the sweetest!
Thank you so much!!!! But you are better!!!!
well said :)
zinnia gibson by saying "you are better " you are actually defeating your own cause. You are confirming that people are of different quality. For people with insecurity issues they will eventually pick it up as people being better than them. You should stop saying "you are better" and instead say "you are amazing" or anything that does not add a *comparison* to others. That's the whole issue here... the entire problem with social pressure is because people get compared to others. P.S. Also; "It's just you, remember that!" With this, you're teaching people to be selfish. They will grow selfish habbits because "It's just me" and gain the general attitude which makes so many relationships fail. If you look at statistics you'll also know that people in relationships who have insecurity issues, have more stable relationships because they like doing things for eachother more. You should tell "Van Nguyen" things like "You are amazing" or "Don't worry about negative thoughts, people can be mean" etc. In the end, we *do* have to work together and you *are* dependant on others. You cannot go around telling people it's not so. You have to teach people to respect and love eachother and not tell the victims of people who don't, that they should do things which will turn them into the same people that were once bullying them. The way you're doing it right now will just fuel a fire. You have to be more neutral. *I am not saying this to offend anyone. I simply see someone actively complementing someone and want to help her with her perspective on it.*
Actors or not, we all know it's true. Ask an adult what they'd change and they'd be trying to choose between multiple things in their heads. Ask a child what they'd change and they'll choose some cool superpower-ish thing. It's really sad when you think about what people become when growing up in today's society.
As a 21 year old, there is absolutely nothing I would want to change with my body c:
You are super cute :)
ryllian1 You're lucky, congrats to you for the confidence! :D
vtmike13 Thank you!
Sorry but this is bullshit. I remember as a kid, you'd asked me that question I would have given you half a dozen things I wanted changed ASAP and I don't mean the lack of ability to fly or such nonsense. Also, just about every kid I knew had issues. This film is pure fantasy or taken from some fringe group. It is set up to ignore all those kids that feel horrible about themselves and it just made me angry.
I thought it’d be something even more heart-wrenching like “Are You Okay?”
"I like my body actually" My heart melted😭😭😭
"Um, well you know, like a mermaid tail." This girl's got her priorities straight, people!
it's eye opening that the kids want to add while the adults wish to take away
yeah... I'd like to add dimples and inches to my height thanks
KZhead will recommend a video 5 years later, just to make you cry. But it's like, how did you know I needed to hear this🥺😂
this video has changed me. i watched it so long ago and i havent forgotten it
I was overjoyed to hear the children's responses. I suppose I feared that they would start criticizing their bodies as harshly as we do. The fact that they loved their bodies as much as they did was beautiful. May we all learn to love our bodies as they do! :)
Me too!!
+Leila Payne And I hope that doesn't change in the children.
They don't "love" their bodies. They just don't have that much awareness of them.
i am ten i hate my body and i have anxiety about it :(
PROTECT THESE CHILDREN AT ALL COSTS THEY NEED TO BE PROTECTED FROM THIS WORLD
LaraNansi They're gonna change when they hit puberty and start dating etc
You need to protect them by making them stronger to face the world, not stay weak and isolated. That's the better solution.
We are the world they need protection from.
That isn't the conclusion I came to...
LaraNansi trust me it doesn’t work

this is like the opposite for me. when i was younger, i used to be conscious of everything about myself. i would get bullied for how i looked. now i'm 15, and i feel completely comfortable with my body. maybe it's because i've grown into my features, or maybe it's because i've realised that every human being is truly beautiful. its taken awhile, and i've only been happy with myself recently, but i really wish that everyone knew how beautiful they were despite the things that made them feel the opposite. so, i just want to say from the bottom of my heart to the person who is reading this: you are so beautiful. don't ever doubt it.
+Hannah Hellraiser Now that you're mature you can easily see that the person making fun of you is the one with the problem. in school, being 'cool' is fitting in, but as soon as you leave school, your eyes open, you become aware of this world and being 'cool' is the exact opposite. appreciate your differences, they are what make you unique, what make you YOU (and you're fucking perfect). I love you and you are beautiful too ;)
it's weird, cause I was also bullied for the same thing, my features and I myself am also 15
it's weird, cause I was also bullied for the same thing, my features and I myself am also 15 I had been sleeping conscious on my appearance and how u look and last year I barely left my house cause I felt as if people were staring at me all the time and I felt very uncomfortable with who I was, but then about end of last year up to now, I've come to realise that there are other people that have problems that are way worse than my little one and that I shouldn't let myself feel down, just because of other people's opinions and that God didn't make a mistake when he had created me, because in his eyes, I am seen as a masterpiece, placed on this once beautiful earth and that even if you feel as if no one will ever love you, there will always be at leads one person who loves you, weather it's your friends or a parent or both your parents.

Who else heard the question, paused the video, and talked to your self and explained what you would change about yourself in full detail, really heartfelt answer. Only to see really simple answers form these people...
so many years later, I love coming back to watch this! so nostalgic, thank you.
I don't think I was ever comfortable in my own body tbh, which is a bit depressing....
Angelica Reyna You should be! You're beautiful!
Same. Thanks to bullying from like the age of five or six for me :/
i started feeling insecure cause i was the only asian in my school, everyone else was white
I live in germany and I was bullyed at school because my mom comes from america and speeks english with me...I was the only foreign girl... sooo that builds up depression about everything..
Yup, same. I remember being extremely insecure at the age of 5
it's very interesting to see the difference in the answears between adults and kids. The reason is because kids in that age hasn't exactly develop the same self awareness as the adults have, which makes them think differently.
"Self awareness", or an awareness of what this world expects you to look like?
^ well said!
Sumbrela Both I would say.
Unlock Experiences Thanks! :)
Kids are more of aware of who they truly are, and adults have been convinced over time that it is their image that gives them worth.
The girl: there isn’t anything to change . My heart 😭❤️❤️so beautiful
This was beautiful!!! As soon as I saw the kids coming up I knew my heart it going to melt... I cried. Kids are the true self. We should learn from them.
I like how adults ask to erase smething but kids actually want to add more
That's some awesome insight
When we hit puberty we begin to experience changes in our physical appearance. We also became conscious of how other people look and how other people look at us. Insecurities then follows. Kid don't experience any of it, because their innocence shields them from the realities of life and let them live in their world of imagination. That is until they hit puberty.
Underrated comment^^
When I got puberty I didn't care. I held the middle finger and even when I had literally no friends I just hung out with my sister. For people who laughed at me because they didn't have spots yet I told them that they would get it eventually. They stopped teasing.
Cupcakes Are Swirly good mindset, trying to do that too
It's not until they hit puberty, it's until they receive the criticism from the people around them, so it can start long before they begin puberty.
Puff Of Smoke I always had insecurities since 7
This made me think about a lot. I actually cried watching this. Best one I’ve ever seen ❤️ loved it.
Amazing. I can watch it a thousand times and I’d still get emotional every time I watch it
I love this :) When I was about 8 I loved how I looked. Now I've grown to hate just about everything about myself. I envy those children's confidence and innocence. I hope they stay like that
all I wan't is no acne, I'm okay with the rest of myself tho
me too😔
It's ok me 3!
Kate Murphy but if your acne was gone, then you'd find something else to hate about yourself
Try cutting out dairy! Dairy causes acne!
Akshara Rajeshkannan i dont have to
This is just... so beautiful. Thank you for making this.
Years later, and this video still hits hard.
Obviously the kids wouldn't say anything because they haven't hit puberty yet. I would definitely change the size of my big ass nose.
It isn't puberty that makes people awkward about their bodies. It's the constant shunning from other people and media, saying that we aren't pretty or good enough. It's the impossible standards that are forced upon us as we grow up, rather than body positive messages. Little children aren't as receptive to these sorts of things, because they haven't been taught that there's anything wrong with who they are. Something terrible happens between being a child and being a teen, and that's called pressure.
it is also puberty; hormones & a body that suddenly changes in many ways
I'm going through puberty as we speak with acne glasses braces headgear and old clothes from at least two years ago. What would I change about myself? Nothing. Why? I love my glasses I love my headgear as much as it sores my teeth I love my acne which makes my unique I love my braces with changing colors I love old clothes everybody wonders where I got them from because they want some just like mine even though They can't because they dont sell them anymore and I was just lucky enough to keep mine. I love all my imperfections because they are what make me....ME. My friend thought of herself as ugly and I told her that people will say things to her that fit in three categories. 1.Your a waste of space anything making you feel bad about being alive. 2.Your ugly or worthless anything making you feel well ugly or worthless. 3.Your stupid anything making you feel unintelligent. To her I said that then I said for every one of those times theres a time like this: 1.Your more than a waste of space. Your a good use of space. 2.Your more than ugly or worthless. Your beautiful unique and talented. 3.Your more than stupid. Your a genius with great ideas just waiting to be heard. I'm Allison MacMelivlle and I'm eleven years old. My last name is hard to pronounce so I'm teased about it. I only have about 3 to 5 close friends. I used to be bullied for looking weird and acting weird compared to others. I am Allison MacMelville. And I do not care for how I look. I care about personality. I care about feelings.
that's the point sherlock
39abc93 What's the point? Please elaborate.
