This video is fake, the voice is dubbed. The voice sounds like an adult doing a kid's voice and doesn't match her lips/mouth, except a brief moment when there is a clear look at her mouth. When we speak our cheeks move, especially when our face is tensed up. During some of the dialogue where her mouth is hidden, her cheeks aren't moving, indicating she isn't speaking at that moment.
Being an adult means you can have chocolate cake for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, but not wanting it because you're dead inside, or hate yourself if you do.
This is entertaining, but I still think it's weird to film kids. They haven't consented to that to be on the internet. They're being vulnerable and confiding something they feel strongly about with you and you're making a mockery of it for what? Likes? Reactions? No wonder many of us have unresolved trauma.
I see that and my parent senses are telling me it's attention seeking behavior, not an actual existential crisis. Now I probably wouldn't give it more attention, but sometimes kids are funny and it's worth remembering.
I might be biased, I have a girl (9) who sometimes gets sad and weepy over growing up and her family dying and herself dying, etc. It's hard to placate her since yes, all those things are in fact going to happen.
I also got the sense she's not actually upset about this. If it's not staged, she's just doing it for attention. Which is whatever, kids do these things.
Now that I have the time to find and post my comment from the last time this video hit FP: The voice sounds like an adult doing a kid's voice and doesn't match her lips/mouth, except a brief moment when there is a clear look at her mouth.

I love being an adult. As a kid you don't get taken seriously. You can hardly make any unilateral decisions. There's always people looking over your shoulder and you have no agency. Kids also have a limited and narrow perspective that intensifies meaningless difficulties. I'm super thankful for my adulthood.
I don't have kids and i don't judge people that have them but it seems like it might be an idea to try to tell t he kid that their future have opportunities. I love my grownup life. I wish i had more money but it's not like it's making me cry
I’ve opted not to have kids and for now it’s all legos and dinosaurs with my nephew as he is only 4, but I will give him the honesty that I was not given, but I’ll wait until he’s 17
Right? I don't remember my childhood super fondly, not that it was exactly horrible, but having the freedom to do as I choose, earning ok money, and buy what I want is honestly pretty great.
Yeah teaching them now that they don’t have to trap themselves in the same cycle their ancestors did seems like you’d give her hope. No need to perpetuate this shit and live miserably.
Kind of feel like it could be the kid being really good at observing the world around them and/or the parent not trying to sugarcoat or hide stuff from them(like personal struggles) Everyone has their own approach, and I'm not trying to evaluate it...I noticed something similar with my kids. When they do stuff like this, I better understand the impression each thing I do leaves upon them. Because they are bright, I sometimes forget to tone down explanations. TMI can be..well, too much.
My daughter had this same meltdown at around the same age. I should really ask her what triggered it. At the time I was busy trying to just make her feel better about the future and it never occurred to me ask what set her off.
Could be as simple as her throwing a tantrum already and unnerved mum snapping "Could you please, for the sake of it, for one time act like an ADULT???" And now adulthood means having to behave, which is - right now in that tantrum - the worst kind of slavery and imprisonment EVER!!!
I often felt like this as a child. I worried about how I would get a house and car when I only got 6p a week pocket money. When you don’t understand how things work, it’s scary.

It scares me when my daughter says stuff like this because deep down i fear she’s inherited my depression and adulthood will allow it to surface

but you're not wrong kid

She's smart, she's getting this out of the way now so she's numb to it when she gets older.

IMO, person recording this is failing. You comfort kids about uncertain futures, not record them for internet points.
trennerson
A ping of humanity has entered the circle. This is a child being made to "be an adult" and it doesn't even wanna be a teen. Sad.

I always wonder if kids change their behavior when they see a camera pointed at them. Kind of like dogs behave differently when humans are around.

I feel ya, kid. Nature's a motherfucker based on grinding meat through a "meh it works a bit better" grinder.

Don't get me wrong because she is right. But I have a daughter that is dramatic and this seems very staged. (Which is fine)

Her voice is dubbed, doesn't match the video.

Her parents are definitely millennials- this child sees the despair.

Yup, live as poorly as possible, free time is so much more valuable than money

Don't read too much into it. Children will on occasion throw a tantrum because the leaves change color in autumn.

I remember once my son threw a tantrum because we wouldn't set traps on the roof to capture Santa's reindeer.

Also very true. Horrors aside, getting older is exciting whether for good or ill

Ah! But that’s what we call tradition! And why do we do it….
MrStealUrMeme
Yeah, they teach about peer pressure from drugs and alcohol in school, but they don't really teach about peer pressure from your ancestors.
ILogInToUpvote
What double life is this kid living that she's having an existential crisis over being an adult? Did she just have a Freaky Friday moment?

I still worry about that as an adult.

Well yeah. I’m still renting at 60. I know how it works now and it’s still scary.

I felt like this a lot as a kid, starting when I was about 6. Guess who has been accurately diagnosed with depression lol

Yeah, I was going to guess that or anxiety!

… always good to have more than one friend??
Lulabel73
This is either staged or is the parent putting too much on this kid? Maybe the parent needs to do some kid things with her for a change.

The voice is dubbed
