Being a teenager is difficult,
but it's that much harder when you're in the public eye. Paris Jackson, the
17-year-old daughter of the late Michael Jackson, took to Instagram to speak
out about the
"ridiculous" expectations and pressures she faces because of her
famous dad. "It's so f**king selfish that I am literally
attacked on every f**king thing I post just because people that I DON'T EVEN
KNOW aren't getting what they want," Paris reportedly wrote in a now deleted comment.
"I appreciate the love and support, but the expectations are f**king
ridiculous."
The teenager also expressed her
sadness at the constant criticism her late father also faced. "The
expectations for my DAD were f**king ridiculous. He didn't owe you anything,
yet he was ripped to shreds DAILY. I will not let that happen to me," she
wrote. Of course, Paris is far from the only young woman in the spotlight to
open up about the backlash she faces online. "Modern Family" actress
Ariel Winter has openly spoken about the criticism she has to deal with on
social media platforms and how incredibly hurtful it can be. "We live in a
day and age where everything you do is ridiculed," Winter said to Glamour Magazine.
"The Internet bullies are awful. I could post a photo where I feel good,
and 500 people will comment about how fat I am and that I am disgusting."
