New Teen You-Tube Trend Is Pretty Ugly

by Chad Hills

“This is one of the most horrible, tragic and damaging things I’ve ever seen,” I thought, as I forced myself to watch a 13-year-old girl verbally degrade her own image and her intelligence in a home-made “Am-I-Pretty-or-Ugly?” video posted on You-Tube. What made it worse was the fact that she was soliciting votes from thousands of unknown viewers.

Parents, beware. This is the latest rage.
