These Little Girls Are Asking The Most Devastating Question I Can Imagine

Upworthy note: We’ve pulled the actual video of young girls asking “Am I pretty?” out of respect for them and their parents. Instead, we’ve included a response to this trend by Louise Orwin, a British performance artist. She asked dozens of teenage girls what they thought about their own beauty and the trend. Enjoy!
