Tbh I can't even hate her because I understand her and I relate to her.
I was bullied back in elementary so I decided to glow up. And after I did, I decided to cope with my trauma.
I started obsessing over my appearance and I made it my goal to destroy other people's self confidence just like what happened to me back in elementary.
Until I realized that I wasn't being confident, I was being narcissistic and narcissism is a really bad thing. Tamera probably had the same past as me and other teenagers but I'm not really sure. I just hope that she will mature up and know that what she's doing is wrong and decides to humble herself.

a 17 years old worrying about winkles lmao

[joshuawaddell]

If it takes you 3 hours to get ready every day... you are FAR from perfect.

[indayems]

She doesn’t look like 17 years old more like 30+.

[janeseymour]

Her at 17: *worried about wrinkles*

Me being 16: *wondering what I'm gonna eat after I had dinner*

[strawberrysundae_megan]

I wish I was motivated to even do my makeup or hair

[janesblair]

Her tan makes her look so much older than she actually is

[elleshaw]

This seems so sad. A young woman with so many resources with no real aspirations. No hate, but wow, she's so vapid.

[jestinadavies]

Okey this is sooo toxic this is what social media has done to us thinking you have to be perfect constantly just because celebrities
Girl you are beautiful when uve got all that goin on and with sweatpants too ❤️

[carmacharmella]

Too bad she isn’t this obsessed with increasing her IQ. So sad that Instagram is teaching young ladies that appearance should be their main priority.

[avaorpilla]

I feel sorry for her. I get extremely insecure about my looks, and although I don’t go to the extent she does, I know what it’s like to feel like your appearance is directly correlated to your value as a person, and how you are treated- including how you treat yourself. To everyone bashing her in the comments, I don’t think you realize how much this kind of insecurity can make someone feel so intrinsically worthless. May God bless her and anyone else who suffers from this ❤️

Anti-wrinkle creams at 13? At that age I was using Clearasil for my pimples.

[Em-sdzm]

This made me realize that “perfect” really is subjective...

[lelyatempa]

She just called me down right poor in 3 million ways

[jamie]

I can’t even hate her for being spoiled; this honestly just makes me really sad. Can you imagine how insecure she must feel to need to go to this extent to look "perfect". There must be a great deal of shame and anxiety going on here that she’s trying to not let on and it's gotta be crippling

[allshookup]

This is actually pretty sad. The fact that she can’t embrace her natural self and is so obsessed with how OTHER people see her. She needs to love and value herself for herself not based her value on the opinion of others.

[Nonyah]

17-25 you shouldnt even need make up. Those are free beauty years

[skepticalscully]

I wanna know how she gets her money. I'm broke af lol

[ChillinVinillin]

She's concerned about aging, but doesn't realize that makeup can age you faster.

[ThePoptartjunkie]

Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder. It is highly subjective. She’s a beautiful girl and doesn’t need all that make up and styling. I hope she finds something more meaningful to do with her life.
