It’s interesting how posters express “concern” about Blue Ivy’s upbringing without acknowledging the context or underlying biases. Blue is 13 years old and happens to be the daughter of two world-famous entertainers. Of course, her life is going to look different from the average teen’s — just like it does for any child of celebrities. That doesn’t mean she’s being deprived of a "normal" childhood, it just means her normal is different. Let’s not forget Beyoncé is known to be incredibly private and intentional when it comes to her children. From what’s publicly known, Blue is involved in school, dance, and other age-appropriate activities.
Also, let’s be honest: Black children are regularly adultified. What Blue Ivy is doing — dancing on stage with her mother — is not harmful or inappropriate. She’s being celebrated by her family, cheered on by audiences, and seems genuinely joyful. I see no problem?

Sexualizing your teen daughter with sexy moves and outfits is way more than a performance. Very sad to see.
Gramma have you been to a prom anywhere in this country in the last 10 years? Keep clutching those pearls honey.

Something about her walk is strange and makes her look like she was born male. It looks exaggerated, like a drag queen's walk.

You would think with everything Beyoncé knows about the industry, that she wouldn’t want her 13 year old front and center. I feel like it is so rare for teens in this high profile roles and in the music industry to ever turn out well as adults.
Idk that beyonces experience as a young girl in the industry was that bad because her parents were very involved. I personally think that it’s a mistake not to encourage blue to do something different because she will never move out of her mom’s shadow. But bey’s mom was a stage mom so maybe she’s just doing what she saw.

I just wonder if Blue has any friends her age. Does she do typical 13 yr old things with them? What she is doing is fun and cool, but it's not a normal-kid-experience. Does she have any normal kid experiences? Or are they all manufactured and over the top, like when Kylie Jenner's homeschooled kid wanted to ride a yellow school bus so the dad rented one and she got a spin around the gated community block.
She’s never going to be a normal kid. Her parents are two of the most famous people in the world and she is growing up in a fabulously wealthy bubble. I think it’s impossible for kids like that to have a “normal” (like us) upbringing.

This interview is after she was performing on the Renaissance tour. Y'all complained about her being too grown on that tour, too.Anonymous wrote:Anonymous wrote:You can't really compare the Blue Ivy you see on stage with your typical DMV 13-year-old girl. You are looking at her with stage makeup and hair, custom-designed clothing, and most importantly, performing.

I have a 13-year-old daughter. Some of her friends are 5'7 but she still looks WAY older than them.
You don't see much of her in public, but here's a clip of an interview Blue Ivey and Beyonce did last year while recording for the Mufasa movie. She doesn't appear overly grown, overly sexualized, too mature, etc. She seems like a very sweet and well-mannered young girl.
This was before she became sexualized. She was probably 2 years younger here.
