I cannot believe issy doesn’t have a 5 year goal. What on earth is happening to the upcoming generation?
Im really coming to this realisation of how bad ‘influencer’ and ‘social media’ life is. At her age I too wanted to stay at home instead of go to school and the thought of getting to live everyday as it comes with free gifts and holidays etc would have sounded like the utter dream for me but unfortunately Isabelle needs to realise that isn’t how normal life goes. She should be in school, these are fundamental years, educationally but emotionally too. It’s how she will learn to build and hold relationships, learn about what she likes and things she wouldn’t want to do - now I’m not saying there is anything wrong with home schooling, but clearly they are not being ‘schooled’ at all.
Isabelle, seriously, read this and take note. I strongly advise you actually start taking it into your own hands to get your basic GCSEs and please, please go to college. Do a BTEC even as you can do a lot of on the go learning and coursework as you claim to not like exams. But you need to find something to do in life. You’re going to suffer so much with not having a proper routine and a need to wake up. Your mental health will suffer from no routine, purpose or sense of achievement after a tough day at work. Life isn’t one big half term.
I don’t care if those kids want to do YouTube still but I truly think it should be mandatory for them to fulfill something of their own on the side - for them. Issy’s nearly 16 and most 16 year olds are already desperate for a part time job - handing out their CVS everywhere just to earn some of their own, hard earned money themselves and to feel proud and independent. It sounds like Planning ahead for issy gives her major anxiety and I’mguessing it’s because she’s realising she is unlikely to get her GCSEs and she just wants to make a living making sassybelle videos and living off of advertisements. It’s ludicrous and neglectful of her parents to not have shown her this or even discussed it.
Sorry everyone, just really fed up with this influencer culture and how naive her video was.
