I don't mean this as an insult, but....


I don't think she's pretty.
Don't get me wrong-- there's nothing wrong with that!!!
I'm actually glad to see that casting directors are starting to find value for women and girls beyond the shallow aesthetic.
She's like the equivalent of Fred Savage on The Wonder Years. Not especially good looking, but relatable and approachable.

What throws me a bit for a loop is when everyone acts like she's soooooo gorgeous. She's as plain as any girl in any random one-horse town anywhere in this country. You could throw a stone in Smalltown, Iowa and hit a girl you could make up to be prettier than Bailee Madison. Keep in mind, this girl has ALLLL the help in the world to look that way...so even if she does look pretty in, say, her main IMDB picture (and she does..that's the first pic I've ever seen that I thought she looked pretty in,) keep in mind that's professional hair, make up, lighting, photography, the best camera AND photoshop. Soo...again.. you could make any girl up to look like that.

That said, I don't dislike her at all. It sounds cliché but truthfully, she's a great role model. Smart, virtuous, seems to have the right core values even after years of success... I wish her all the best and sincerely hope her success continues into her adulthood. We could use some good role models for WOMEN too. Hopefully she won't give in to pressure to be underweight and under dressed as she transitions into adulthood.

Peace.

You really are a shallow person trying to say this beautiful girl isn't attractive.

Who attacks a 16 year old girl?

I didn't attack her.

Even sadder who has even heard of half the people this pig posts about. Obviously she spends many long hours reading People magazine, The National Enquirer and other garbage of that nature. I am sure she spends her lonely nights stuffing her face to TMZ on the TV.


Better than your pastime which is stalking me, hahaha. I've clearly made an indelible mark on your soul that you consistently return to my posting history. Trust me, I don't spend that much time--or any time--thinking about you. So I'm flattered.

You're taking this way too personally. Are you her mom? Let go of it. I don't think the girl is beautiful, I'm confused why many people try to say she is... Bye.

You're insulting the looks of a teenage girl? What a horrible, shallow and mean-spirited person you are.

Saying someone is average looking and it's weird when people say she's gorgeous is not actually an insult. It's not black and white: you either have to insult or compliment. There is a gray area.

I agree. However, you didn't say that. You said:

Those are insults. And they would definitely be perceived as such by the teen girl in question if she read those comments being said about her.

Umm.. plain and not pretty are not insults. Words like hideous, ugly, etc..those are insults. Plain and not pretty are just middle of the road commentary. Pretty is a word that implies above average. Saying someone isn't pretty is to imply she is average..as most people are. That isn't an insult. Agree to disagree.
