Stranger Things actress Millie Bobby Brown went to Instagram to reflect on her last “not easy” few years following her 16th birthday. The child-turn-teen star opened up about the scrutiny she faces on social media and in the news. She states that “change needs to happen” not only for her, but anyone facing criticism from others.
Brown’s post said, “Our world needs kindness and support in order for us children to grow and succeed. the last few years haven’t been easy, I’ll admit that. There are moments I get frustrated from the inaccuracy, inappropriate comments, sexualization, and unnecessary insults that ultimately have resulted in pain and insecurity for me. Let’s focus on what needs changing and I hope this video informs you on the things that go on behind the scenes of the headlines and flashing lights,” she noted.
In her social media post, it shows a video behind the scenes of what she faces every day from the media.
The actress leaves the post with a positive note saying, “always find a way to smile.”
