Classic! Aww Mia. Teens. Same age I can remember taking 100s of selfie photos on my 2004 Panasonic flip phone, no filters or anything, just warm ambient lighting and strategic angles (chin up, eyes droopy, emo era gloom and attitude). Yeah, teens can get away with it! But it's also that element of trusting someone else. ADHD info dump: The only good pics taken by other people were taken by photographers, and lightly photoshopped. Usually best sat on a stool, photographer facing the subject diagonally, slightly above them, the subject looking slightly away from camera rather than right into the lens. And make them face the light. If the lighting is casting shadows the wrong way, of course they'll hate it.
Love this. You still get told off when their in their 20s
What if we want to show off our cute shoes!!! Are we not allowed to have shoes in photos now???
And don't you look amaazing in the pic. You are a brave woman for posting that

This is hilarious Mia. I love how you phrase things. I haven’t tried taking a photo of a teen for a very long time… now I know just not to!!
Hilarious. Hard relate as the non Gen X people say.
Hilarious and so true. Forgot to mention that I can’t find my glasses to see what I’m doing
OMG this is so relatable I'm saving it 🤣
Sooo true 🤣 and yet when they take a pic of you, it’s fine halfheartedly with minimal effort!
Thanks for the laugh Mia, hilarious and VERY accurate!
Wow! Massive issue just played out in Australia, Mia and this is how you use your platform?
To quote the email that I received this post in, "This week, in the midst of a brutal news cycle, I’m keeping it light."
And it’s still a waste of a platform.
Very funny because so true, even for teenage boys and their mums 🤣
Hilarious! Same for boys too, not so much photo taking but doing ANYTHING on your phone!!
