She only has to be scared if she says something incriminating, her viewers keep her accountable rather than following her blindly and that’s a good thing
Jenna • sometimes people are too sensitive though and make too much out of nothing. I don’t think it’s okay for her to have been discriminating etc before but like you have to keep in mind that she was young. Young people are young dumb and broke. I don’t hold her accountable for the past. It’s like why should anyone who’s hurt respond with hurting someone else? What better does that make you? No offense when I say this but this comment was about summer to validate her. It’s hard for her, it’s like whatever she says can be twisted. I mean the fact that she has to clarify with people that she’s talking about herself when it’s clear that she is.
Honestly I'm so proud of how open you have become with your audience Summer. You can really see how you found yourself and your journey and it's so inspiring, so thank you!:)
Well I’m not gonna lie. Last year I completely lost my respect for her and ended up not following her on any social media’s but I came back today just to see what she’s up to and it’s very interesting to see how much she’s matured ngl🙌🏽🙌🏽 people change 😅
Sydney J Im a person of colour too and also a fan of Summer Mckeen.People make mistakes and as long as they learn from them then thats the main thing.We have all done and said things we later regret.
Myra there was a video where she was said to be making fun of how black people talk. personally i’ve seen the video and i think she was more so mocking woah vicky and not talking like that to be rude, not sure but it could’ve def come off as offensive
Maddie Parks Asian isn’t offensive, white isn’t offensive , black isn’t offensive , and the important is to know someone and respect their origins. I mean it’s offensive to call Chinese someone from japan and then say “whatever Asian people look all the same” , BUT if you call someone Asian as they are his features it’s not offensive , as someone who is clearly Nordic or sudamerican. I mean , you can call me Italian , white , and not call me “someone from a boot kind of country...
but summer should watchout her fragile mental health because it can change suddenly, she should seek a therapist to handle pressure and every situation she's into, there's a lot of sign as studying psychology. Bipolar is a disorder and can affect her daily life and social life and can hurt again people without intention. So the best help is to advice her for councel, all her thoughts inside, she can share it without being judged, she clearly needs help, its not just a "its all in the head" because brain is the most important part of the body and mental health illness is an actual illness just like a broken bone, from all of her experiences, her past lovelives that make her broken, from the haters, bashers and assumptions of people in her life and being compared pressured to work makes her to have a phobia which is bad but good also she now have self awareness and getting real mature by time but also being herself but aware. Because I can relate and I want to share and help it to all of you. Have a good day and stay safe.
I can’t tell you how much this calmed my anxiety from all the scary shit going on in the world I needed a calming sit down video like this so thank you & I’m happy to see you finding yourself and being true to yourself as well 🤍
summer: binge eating has always been a part of me a huge struggle in my life, and you briefly talking about it is so inspiring and helpful to know that you have experienced it. So proud of who you are and you are beautiful no matter what you look like, I’ve had to learn that myself. I love you. Sending love from Toronto Canada ❤️❤️
I’m honestly so happy and sad for summer. I’m happy because she is learning from her old mistakes and being aware of almost what she talks about and does, and sad because she is now more aware that she watches and edits her video and writing this little side notes just to make clear she is not offending anyone when she should be more understood, but because of what happened people are having an eye on her so it’s too much for her to handle, i love you summer, i wish nothing but always the best, keep going sweetheart ♥️♥️♥️🥺
Danah Alabdulla i totally agree but thats the reality of a lot of youtubers and its so sad because people will just want to speak THEIR truth and the rest of the community don’t approve of it or even open their eyes to understanding it (especially when it cones to religion and morals and beliefs) so I totally understand why in todays world it’s necessary to have to explain yourself
Wow I really needed this. I’ve always idolised you as someone who’s perfect but to hear you admit you’ve been through depression and binge -eating makes me feel a huge sigh of relief as I am struggling with both those things right now and working through them. Thank you so much for opening up and being so honest , this is probably one of my favourite videos from you. Lots of love 💕
It's so comforting to see you be so vulnerable, I can really relate to you a lot. I've been dealing with depression for the past two years and only feel truly happy when I'm back home in Egypt. We will get through this together and anyone else that is feeling this way. Lots of love💞
I really appreciated this because I related to the eating a mental health problems. Its so inspiring to watch an influencer open up because it makes me feel not as alone :))
im proud of you summer. it takes a lot of vulnerability and bravery to talk about the rough stuff going on inside your mind but also as well as inside your own personal life. As someone who just turned 21 i can agree with you that turning 20 was a big change in life and it was always confusing, hard, and sometimes painful but it teaches you so much and you’ll truly be proud of each little mile stone that you accomplish. so remember that when you’re being tough on yourself, that even every little achievement matters whether that is just getting out of bed in the morning - etc. sending you all my love! lean on your faith
you are my favorite social media influencer. i would do anything to be friends with you, i really appreciate how genuine you are and how you put your true feelings out and remind everyone that you’re still just a normal girl even though you have such a big following. i would love to have someone as true as you in my life. thank you for being so open, i’m sure it wasn’t easy.
Summer we love you and accept YOU. People go through shit but you didn't let it break you and came out stronger on the other side. im proud of you and more importantly YOU should be proud of you. Im glad you've found yourself and you look bomb btw 🤩
i really appreciate you for being so genuine in this video. you have grown and changed from the past and i look up to you as a role model. thank you for trying to spread all of this love and honesty out into the world. i love you summer and i can’t wait for the merch to come out!! 🌟
so SO PROUD of you Summer for opening up about some sensitive and scary topics for some. it is TRULY inspirational to see a beautiful kind hearted girl on the internet, just doing HER BEST. as a smaller RUclipsr, I hope I can open up about some of these topics one day :)
summer, thank you so much for being open about your experiences and the difficulties and hardships that truly start to hit you as you get older. i'm going through similar things right now and it helps me so much to know that i'm not alone with this struggle. love you girl!
Summer, I was on accutane a bit back and I know firsthand how hard the depression could hit you. It felt darker than anything I'd experienced before and I've never felt pain like I did when I was on accutane. But I hope you see this comment because I want you to know that It really gets better as soon as you go off of accutane. For me, I could physically feel a weight being lifted off my shoulders and my mind just getting clearer. It's such an indescribable feeling but I promise you will feel a million times better as soon as the accutane is over. It's difficult but push through it and know that what you're feeling will be over soon. xoxo
so glad you touched on the topic of binge eating, I have always had trouble but it became manageable. But over the past few months I was going through a lot and started binge eating and gained 20lbs. It’s really hard, but I know I can get through it. Thank you for being so open about it.
This is not my place to say, but it really seems like God has you in his hands. You are genuine, sweet and caring and even when you’ve “fallen back” you weren’t deceptive and malicious and you always came out better. You were and are a girl who is going to waver because life wavers and it is inevitable. The fact you’ve been genuine and open is what is telling that you truly do have God in your heart and I am happy to have been following you for these years. I truly believe God is with you. Congratulations Summer.
i’m LDS, recently it’s been beyond hard to block out the negative talk on the church. i’ve always really looked up to you, and your strength, and openness on the topic. thank you for that! you’ve shown me i don’t need to be ashamed for it. i’m trying to find myself, and my place in the church, and you really have helped me get closer to that. so thank you!! 💛💛
It honestly is really cool you’re lds! It’s nice to see that a RUclipsr isn’t completely overwhelming their channel with the gospel and just saying things about it, you’re just genuinely chill and personal about it:)
so proud of you !!!! you have become such a wonderful women and seeing you grow like a person who fights for her health (both mental and physical) is very inspiring. just know that you've help so many girls and boys with this video, me in the first place. I love you!
I’m going to be honest, I usually don’t believe this “I’ve changed completely” kinda talk. And most of the time I think it’s a reaction people have to making big mistakes by trying to detach themselves from said mistakes. That being said, I really do see a change in Summer and for the better. Really, I’m happy for you, you’re obviously growing up and learning from everything that happened
I went on Accutane my senior year of high school and although I missed out on some fun things due to side affects, it was the BEST decision I’ve ever made and I don’t regret it one bit to this day. You’ve got this girl 💕 Hang in there!! Xo
Recently turned 20 and since then I have struggled finding happiness. It’s not that things have changed but they hit me in a different way. There is just too much to worry about, so much insecurities, personals struggles and so on. The thing is that we don’t have to keep it to ourselves, being depressed should not be taboo and we should not fear how other people will look at us if we open up about it. I’ve been accepting this and reminding myself that life is full of joy if you truly wanna experience it. We need to learn to feel happiness as powerfully as we feel pain; I am trying to figure out what are my priorities in life, and it’s helping a lot. I truly hope that you, and everyone who is experiencing the same, finds their balance. You are not alone in this ❤️
also just wanted to sayyy thank you for your acne videos, I suffered really badly from it and it made me so self conscious- so your videos have really helped me be more confident and it’s definitely got better 💞💘
Turning 20 is such a eye opener and everything feels so confusing and desperation hits you like of a ton of bricks. All I know is the fact I’m turning 21 in a few months is the only exciting thing about being in my 20s.
Love this. Please talk about BED - that's definitely something a lot of people are going through, and hearing about a mindset shift that happens when you get out of it is super helpful :)
ok when you said "if you're anxious and need a distraction" i sjsjsj i love you so much for that because that's exactly how i feel as someone in the UK and our government is doing nothing 🤧🥰
Your journey in your early 20s reminds me of all the same things I went through in college, but it gets better, I promise! You’re doing a great job :) being 20 and in the real world is a tough transition and you’re killing it
"So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand." Isaiah 41:10
For the part when you talk about thinking about the past often and it sucks and makes you feel negative, I can relate to that a lot. Theres this quote I often think about which is “forgive yourself for not knowing better”. Which is so true. Evolve & Change 🦋
These kinds of videos make me so genuinely happy thank you for being so open, it’s weird how somebody else getting things off their chest makes you feel like you’ve lifted a rock off of your own it really opens you up to be able to do it yourself. It also reminds us of just how human you and other influencers are which helps to not feel so separated from the world we see online.💕
i’m really proud of you for having the strength to talk about such raw topics, i appreciate you being so honest and it does actually help my personal life so thank you for being you 💗🥰
It is so visible how you changed. I really liked you a year ago, but I love the person that you are today so much more! You’ll get through everything that you are struggling with rn! :)))
Hey girl. I’m Mormon too and finding your own testimony to stand on is a journey!! I practically went inactive after high school but my life got crazy and I finally turned to god for help. I’ve since served a mission and loved every second of it. I wish you the best on your path to conversion hun!!!
The only thing what I want to do right now is to give you the biggest hug and say THANK YOU. I am honestly so proud of you, so proud to see that you’re grown into this beautiful person you are now. I support and love you with all my heart. Thank you for being open about so many things. I think you’ve helped and inspired a lot of people who also struggling with this... I LOVE YOU
Can i just say I unsubscribed and haven’t watched her videos since the whole situation that happened. But I came and watched this video today and I’m amazed at the growth and maturity she exemplifies now, she is truly a different person and honestly a role model.
I was genuinely upset and not proud at all when things came to surface about what you did. I took a step back from all your channels and social media for a year. I stumbled upon this video and gave it a shot. I’m truly blown away about how mature, humble and well spoken you are. I am so glad you grew from a simple mistake and you’re doing so good. Thank you Summer
i‘ve been watching summer over 3 years now and she helped in so many things in life, i watched her while i was going through not only ups but also downs and im just so thankful for everything , i mean thanks to summer i started my bullet journal and got my life together, its really weird how a person on the internet can have such a big affect on ones life, i mean even now in „corona times“ while dealing with anxiety she distracts me and helps me
I’ve always supported you and I know you’ve made mistakes but you have definitely grown from them because you show maturity as the years go on xxx alsooo for a video idea u never really do anymore you could do like ‘30 outfits if you’ve nothing to wear’ CUZ I LOVE YOUR CLOTHES THEYRE SO COOL
The internet is fucking crazy and so many people are so quick to attack someone for a situation that has been twisted by copious amount of reposting, etc. I hope you continue to be strong and know that you do have people who watch you because we want to, not to find the tiniest thing to criticize you on
i struggled/still struggle with weight gain! i was 108 before i got pregnant and now i’m one thirty something. it’s the worlds worst feeling, i get it. it’s made me depressed, but it gets better. 💛 accepting the way you look, which i’m still learning to do, makes these ideal body images that society implements mean absolutely nothing. i got a beautiful baby girl out of my weight gain. i’m still trying to lose and tone but i rarely get sad over it. honestly i felt this entire video. so proud of you summer. keep your head up. 💛
so weird us being the same age has allowed me to literally grow up with you.. and what you go through either i’ve already been through or are going through it at the same time. it has made me feel so understood. the acne, the soul-searching, the insecurities, the self-realization. it’s crazy!! i truly feel like i’ve had a best friend through it all, you’re so much like me and i see so much of myself in you so it makes me happy to see you thriving, maybe that’s what is next for me💜💜
Summer idk if u truly know how much people you have inspired by just sharing your life with its ups and downs. There are so many struggles in the world and by proving that no one is alone you truly brighten up my day and give me the courage to be true to myself so all I can say is thank u.... for everything
thanks for acknowledging. i lost my job serving in NYC & had to move home so i could use the little of my savings to afford rent. this is such a scary/stressful time. but trying to use it to make content myself & appreciate all the creativity that will blossom from it.
THANK YOU for openly talking about your body confidence. i struggle with binge eating as well, and it is always comforting to hear someone else’s experience and advice. ❤️❤️
Hi Summer! I'm sure you'll never see this but I wanted to let you know that you have pulled me away from a very similar dark time in my life. You mention your weight gain which was something I had also never really experienced before until around the same time you say you started experiencing it. Also, acne was never something I had struggled with until around the time you began to struggle with it. The only difference is, I never had the courage to come out publicly and acknowledge my newest insecurities because I did not want to come off weak or helpless. However, now that I have been following your journey for quite some time, I realizing that displaying your insecurities is not weak but indeed so very strong and inspiring. You have allowed me to remember that despite these new insecurities, I am still beautiful and deserving of love and acceptance just how we all love and accept you during these tough times. All I can really say is thank you so so much for sharing your story and continue to remain as positive as possible about it all. Hehe also in the search of a new high coverage and healthy foundation I came across the Bare Minerals mineral powder foundation that is made specifically for skin with acne and works absolute wonders. :))
Please do this more often! This is a great Q&A and this really helps ppl who are struggling with the same things you are. Thank you Summer, for being so honest and genuine with your audience!❤
i honestly was so disappointed back in august and I was unsure about following your videos and socials, but I kept doing it because I knew that under all that immaturity there was someone who could've learn something. I am now very proud f the content that you bring on this channel and I immensely appreciate your honesty and vulnerability. Everyone makes mistakes and the importance is to knowledge that and to try to become a better person everyday.
summer, THANK YOU so much for opening up about your binge eating disorder. I am there myself, and i feel like you never hear people speak openly about binging and dealing with weight gain so i really appreciate that you spoke about it.
I love this seasons of endless summer, I don’t however like how Laura would get jealous about Quincy! She just seems so jealous and sneaky especially around you!
as someone who is currently struggling with binge eating disorder, hearing ur story helps so much . i relate to legit everything ur saying . don’t feel as alone and i’m so much more inspired and motivated to heal. thank u for sharing bc i know i would never have the balls to !! much love
Listening to Summer is so helpful .She helps me to get out of the depression I face. I hope she will keep helping me and everybody out there. Love you Summer.
it’s not easy to live the life that you live and always be in the public eye, but i have always loved your videos and appreciate that you’re open and honest with the things that you put out into the world. you’re inspiring and i’m praying for you and sending lots of love 💛
i just rewatched the old video you mentioned and i rly noticed how much youve grown and matured recently! it's rly hard to admit ur mistakes but i think ur much more chill and mature and i enjoy ur content a lot more!
it’s really awesome when people can come and make a video and talk about things they know they did wrong and why it’s wrong and genuinely learn from their mistakes. like she said she was younger and had a bubble she hadn’t really been out of so as a young influencer she was bound to make mistakes. i’m glad she’s learned from them and is obviously trying to do better. give her credit for that, and stop pushing her down because what’s that going to do? help her rise and grow from this because that’s what we’re all here to do in life is learn and grow (:
Thank you for making this video! I’m 19 and sometimes feel so alone with dealing w real life and finding myself but seeing you and seeing other people going through the same thing makes me feel better. We’re all in this together and it’s exciting to think that we have this big beautiful life ahead and this is just the start to discovering ourselves!
it’s cool to hear your still lds, i am too but sometimes it’s hard to show the stuff your going through because you feel like you don’t necessarily fit into the “norm” of our church. so i understand where your coming from!!
Oh my gosh Summer. Thank you. Thank you for being honest and open and you. Thank you for being true to yourself and admitting to us that you struggle. It has helped me and probably so many others realise we’re not alone. Watching your videos makes me smile and brings me back to reality and helps snap me out of a dark place. Thank you 💕
Hey girl, it's so amazing to watch you continue to grow and evolve! I used to have a binge eating disorder too. It was really hard for me to bounce back and work on making myself healthy again. I'm so happy that you're able to talk about it and share something that is terrifying, especially when you have such a big platform on social media. Thanks for spreading positivity, I think everyone needs a little bit of that considering what's happening in the world right now. Keep it up with the self care/ self love. You are beautiful, don't forget that :)
before you stay mormon you should really research the mormon church more because once i did i understood more about it and the more i kept learning the more i realized that it’s not for me. :) but i respect your love for God i just think mormons don’t understand everything like sexism, rascism, etc. you should really look in on it , i love you 💕
I've been feeling really bad lately, just beating myself up over silly stuff I guess and I need to be kinder to myself but it's so hard. You opening up has really helped me, it's made me feel less alone because right now I feel like I have no one. Thank you Summer ❤️
i love the way you are now.🌞 you really really meant what you said, it came from your heart and body and i hope you‘re doing okay!! I did experience the same thing; finding yourself, dealing with mistakes you made and finally figuring out what you want in life and who you really are besides all you wanted to be. And this is the part, where I struggled. Because suddenly you don‘t like your actions, how you communicate, the way you think and to find your little self in the big picture you deliver people day by day- is so hard. Thank you for sharing this !! I know you will be better soon, all the effort (in a psychological way) you put in this, will pay in the end. Love you🧡🧡
had my grandmothers funeral yesterday and i come from an extremely big family. so some family came from paris and italy and there was roughly 200 of us in one building and now me and my dad are both sick
I’m honestly so happy for you summer! I’ve also been going through a phase of binge eating and gaining weight, also causing depression, anxiety, and self esteem problems. It really does make me feel better when other people talk about their life and what they’ve gone through. Thank you summer! You are my absolute favorite RUclipsr❤️
this video was so pure it’s so encouraging how you’re going through your own struggles yet still come here trying to stay positive and help others ❤️ we are so proud of you keep your head up and don’t lose hope God bless you Summer
Summer, you definitely don't know how much this video means to me. It made me feel really happy and also that a person can find happiness even if they are single and even if they don't have true friends. You have always been my inspiration. Love you
i’m 19 almost 20 and i COMPLETELY get you.. i’m constantly learning and trying to figure who i am, who i’m trying to be.. i feel like i don’t relate to anyone my age because most people are focused on egotistical things and when you said your feel insecure but more so about your personality i FELT that. so glad to hear someone my age who i feel like i relate to... love you summer! ✨🦋🤍
corona is getting confusing for me because im around my grandparents a lot, but i also got school canceled for 6 weeks, and now im getting mad, i want people to be healthy, and help other people stay healthy, but i want to be able to sit in a restaurant or go to the movie theatre. ooft
Faith Elizabeth it is a confusing time at the moment due to coronovirus.I can certainly relate to your feelings of frustration etc.I just want it to be over and normal life to resume.Hopefully in a few months that will happen.Stay strong
I live in Italy and there's a lot here to deal with. I've been at home from school like for 3 weeks now, and I'm going to stay at least for other 2 weeks now.. sooo it sucks, because I can't go out and meet my friends and my boyfriend, but you know, here in Italy we're continuing to say that our grandparents at 18 were called to fight in Second World War, but we are only asked to stay home. I think that that helps a lot, or I hope so also for you. Sorry for my English xoxo
ouf the privilege is coming out. stay home, stay safe. if not for you then for others. its not the end of the worlf if you dont get to see your friends for a few weeks. there are people dying because there arent enough devices and help being offered.
Karen I know I stay home always and if not just to buy food or other necessities that I cannot wait for. Here in Italy we are taking it seriously and police can stop you in the streets if you’re out with no reason other than health issues (if you’re going to the hospital) or going shopping for food. Stay safe please, we recognized this virus too late and now all of us are in danger. Don’t make the same error please 🙏🏼🙏🏼
@summer, you have no idea how much i love you and how much you really fricken inspire me as a person. I have been watching your videos for about 4-5 years now and i've never loved a youtuber this much! you are so amazing, truly wish i could meet you
summer hope you’ll continue to power through life. I love seeing you start to thrive after what has happened in the past and being able to bounce back. ❤️ stay strong!!
bro i feel really bad when she pauses the video or writes stuff to explain herself :( it feels like she’s scared of us and that breaks my heart
Ahsen Kaplan I mean yeah words can be twisted by the viewers
Ahsen Kaplan yeah it sucks that she has to do that because so many people get offended by the littlest things!
She only has to be scared if she says something incriminating, her viewers keep her accountable rather than following her blindly and that’s a good thing
Jenna • sometimes people are too sensitive though and make too much out of nothing. I don’t think it’s okay for her to have been discriminating etc before but like you have to keep in mind that she was young. Young people are young dumb and broke. I don’t hold her accountable for the past. It’s like why should anyone who’s hurt respond with hurting someone else? What better does that make you? No offense when I say this but this comment was about summer to validate her. It’s hard for her, it’s like whatever she says can be twisted. I mean the fact that she has to clarify with people that she’s talking about herself when it’s clear that she is.
Same honestly
Honestly I'm so proud of how open you have become with your audience Summer. You can really see how you found yourself and your journey and it's so inspiring, so thank you!:)
Yes 😌
She’s so inspiring, she’s the reason why I created a RUclips channel! It would mean sm if u guys subscribed xxx
This!!!
Thiss
Definitely, before she seemed perfect - which is fine , but it’s nice to see her be more real
The fact that we now have to explain ourselves every minute because someone could feel offended...it’s too much
Maca JV13 worddd
wooordddd
Maca JV13 it’s cause she’s done some stuff that offends people
I know right it’s like you have to be perfect with everything you say
It’s not everyone it’s just her bc she’s a horrible person so she wants people to think she’s good
You can tell she has changed and matured a lot
You can really tell when depression caught a person by the way they carry their words, their body language and their eyes
A Dang duh
You obviously don’t know what depression is
I don’t think anyone has a say of making general assumptions. Depression, like many mental illnesses, don’t show up the same in everyone
Well I’m not gonna lie. Last year I completely lost my respect for her and ended up not following her on any social media’s but I came back today just to see what she’s up to and it’s very interesting to see how much she’s matured ngl🙌🏽🙌🏽 people change 😅
What did she do?
SAME!!
Acaciah me too
@@acaciah1395 I think she made a spam and did and said some pretty rude stuff regarding black people.
SAME I LOST SM RESPECT FOR HER but she’s mature now
As a person of color I was afraid to subscribe to you last year but this apology means the world Summer thank u!!!
Sydney J Im a person of colour too and also a fan of Summer Mckeen.People make mistakes and as long as they learn from them then thats the main thing.We have all done and said things we later regret.

do you find it offensive if people call you 'people of colour' or would you rather someone just call you black or brown or asian etc?
Maddie Parks Asian isn’t offensive, white isn’t offensive , black isn’t offensive , and the important is to know someone and respect their origins. I mean it’s offensive to call Chinese someone from japan and then say “whatever Asian people look all the same” , BUT if you call someone Asian as they are his features it’s not offensive , as someone who is clearly Nordic or sudamerican. I mean , you can call me Italian , white , and not call me “someone from a boot kind of country...
This
You’ve grown sooooo much, you’re more mature and less afraid of what other people think of you. I’m so proud of you Summer💜💜
but summer should watchout her fragile mental health because it can change suddenly, she should seek a therapist to handle pressure and every situation she's into, there's a lot of sign as studying psychology. Bipolar is a disorder and can affect her daily life and social life and can hurt again people without intention. So the best help is to advice her for councel, all her thoughts inside, she can share it without being judged, she clearly needs help, its not just a "its all in the head" because brain is the most important part of the body and mental health illness is an actual illness just like a broken bone, from all of her experiences, her past lovelives that make her broken, from the haters, bashers and assumptions of people in her life and being compared pressured to work makes her to have a phobia which is bad but good also she now have self awareness and getting real mature by time but also being herself but aware. Because I can relate and I want to share and help it to all of you. Have a good day and stay safe.
I can’t tell you how much this calmed my anxiety from all the scary shit going on in the world I needed a calming sit down video like this so thank you & I’m happy to see you finding yourself and being true to yourself as well 🤍

I’ve always idolised you as someone who’s perfect but to hear you admit you’ve been through depression and binge -eating makes me feel a huge sigh of relief as I am struggling with both those things right now and working through them. Thank you so much for opening up and being so honest , this is probably one of my favourite videos from you. Lots of love 💕
Good for you Ellie that you are working through that. I believe in you and live you. Good luck too you and your journey💕
It's so comforting to see you be so vulnerable, I can really relate to you a lot. I've been dealing with depression for the past two years and only feel truly happy when I'm back home in Egypt. We will get through this together and anyone else that is feeling this way. Lots of love💞
You're egyptian? No way!!
I really appreciated this because I related to the eating a mental health problems. Its so inspiring to watch an influencer open up because it makes me feel not as alone :))
im proud of you summer. it takes a lot of vulnerability and bravery to talk about the rough stuff going on inside your mind but also as well as inside your own personal life. As someone who just turned 21 i can agree with you that turning 20 was a big change in life and it was always confusing, hard, and sometimes painful but it teaches you so much and you’ll truly be proud of each little mile stone that you accomplish. so remember that when you’re being tough on yourself, that even every little achievement matters whether that is just getting out of bed in the morning - etc. sending you all my love! lean on your faith
you are my favorite social media influencer. i would do anything to be friends with you, i really appreciate how genuine you are and how you put your true feelings out and remind everyone that you’re still just a normal girl even though you have such a big following. i would love to have someone as true as you in my life. thank you for being so open, i’m sure it wasn’t easy.
Summer we love you and accept YOU. People go through shit but you didn't let it break you and came out stronger on the other side. im proud of you and more importantly YOU should be proud of you. Im glad you've found yourself and you look bomb btw 🤩
i really appreciate you for being so genuine in this video. you have grown and changed from the past and i look up to you as a role model. thank you for trying to spread all of this love and honesty out into the world. i love you summer and i can’t wait for the merch to come out!! 🌟
casual conversations with Summer while quarantine, well I'm here for it!
Fotini Marketou good luck hopefully you will be okay
so SO PROUD of you Summer for opening up about some sensitive and scary topics for some. it is TRULY inspirational to see a beautiful kind hearted girl on the internet, just doing HER BEST. as a smaller RUclipsr, I hope I can open up about some of these topics one day :)
summer, thank you so much for being open about your experiences and the difficulties and hardships that truly start to hit you as you get older. i'm going through similar things right now and it helps me so much to know that i'm not alone with this struggle. love you girl!
When she said turning 20 is hard, I felt that

How so?
Summer, I was on accutane a bit back and I know firsthand how hard the depression could hit you. It felt darker than anything I'd experienced before and I've never felt pain like I did when I was on accutane. But I hope you see this comment because I want you to know that It really gets better as soon as you go off of accutane. For me, I could physically feel a weight being lifted off my shoulders and my mind just getting clearer. It's such an indescribable feeling but I promise you will feel a million times better as soon as the accutane is over. It's difficult but push through it and know that what you're feeling will be over soon. xoxo
so glad you touched on the topic of binge eating, I have always had trouble but it became manageable. But over the past few months I was going through a lot and started binge eating and gained 20lbs. It’s really hard, but I know I can get through it. Thank you for being so open about it.
I know how hard it is, something similar happened to me , but everything will be fine honey 🖤🖤🖤
This is not my place to say, but it really seems like God has you in his hands. You are genuine, sweet and caring and even when you’ve “fallen back” you weren’t deceptive and malicious and you always came out better. You were and are a girl who is going to waver because life wavers and it is inevitable. The fact you’ve been genuine and open is what is telling that you truly do have God in your heart and I am happy to have been following you for these years. I truly believe God is with you. Congratulations Summer.
i’m LDS, recently it’s been beyond hard to block out the negative talk on the church. i’ve always really looked up to you, and your strength, and openness on the topic. thank you for that! you’ve shown me i don’t need to be ashamed for it. i’m trying to find myself, and my place in the church, and you really have helped me get closer to that. so thank you!! 💛💛
Love this
you’re never going to be the same person the next year. You evolve daily
It honestly is really cool you’re lds! It’s nice to see that a RUclipsr isn’t completely overwhelming their channel with the gospel and just saying things about it, you’re just genuinely chill and personal about it:)
so proud of you !!!! you have become such a wonderful women and seeing you grow like a person who fights for her health (both mental and physical) is very inspiring. just know that you've help so many girls and boys with this video, me in the first place. I love you!
I’m going to be honest, I usually don’t believe this “I’ve changed completely” kinda talk. And most of the time I think it’s a reaction people have to making big mistakes by trying to detach themselves from said mistakes. That being said, I really do see a change in Summer and for the better. Really, I’m happy for you, you’re obviously growing up and learning from everything that happened
I went on Accutane my senior year of high school and although I missed out on some fun things due to side affects, it was the BEST decision I’ve ever made and I don’t regret it one bit to this day. You’ve got this girl 💕 Hang in there!! Xo
Ligit same thing here, honestly I would recommend it to anyone who has bad/persistent acne
Recently turned 20 and since then I have struggled finding happiness. It’s not that things have changed but they hit me in a different way. There is just too much to worry about, so much insecurities, personals struggles and so on. The thing is that we don’t have to keep it to ourselves, being depressed should not be taboo and we should not fear how other people will look at us if we open up about it. I’ve been accepting this and reminding myself that life is full of joy if you truly wanna experience it. We need to learn to feel happiness as powerfully as we feel pain; I am trying to figure out what are my priorities in life, and it’s helping a lot. I truly hope that you, and everyone who is experiencing the same, finds their balance. You are not alone in this ❤️
it’s incredible how you are able to talk about all these topics now! so proud of you! you are incredible and keep doing your thing. love you summer 💖
also just wanted to sayyy thank you for your acne videos, I suffered really badly from it and it made me so self conscious- so your videos have really helped me be more confident and it’s definitely got better 💞💘
Turning 20 is such a eye opener and everything feels so confusing and desperation hits you like of a ton of bricks. All I know is the fact I’m turning 21 in a few months is the only exciting thing about being in my 20s.
Jaz Z right
Dude wait until you’re in your late 20s 😂
@@ab-jf2re wait til youre in your 40s
Love this. Please talk about BED - that's definitely something a lot of people are going through, and hearing about a mindset shift that happens when you get out of it is super helpful :)
ok when you said "if you're anxious and need a distraction" i sjsjsj i love you so much for that because that's exactly how i feel as someone in the UK and our government is doing nothing 🤧🥰
Your journey in your early 20s reminds me of all the same things I went through in college, but it gets better, I promise! You’re doing a great job :) being 20 and in the real world is a tough transition and you’re killing it
"So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand." Isaiah 41:10
amen and amen.
For the part when you talk about thinking about the past often and it sucks and makes you feel negative, I can relate to that a lot. Theres this quote I often think about which is “forgive yourself for not knowing better”. Which is so true. Evolve & Change 🦋
this video breaks my heart because you can really tell she’s going through a lot. hang in there summer.
These kinds of videos make me so genuinely happy thank you for being so open, it’s weird how somebody else getting things off their chest makes you feel like you’ve lifted a rock off of your own it really opens you up to be able to do it yourself. It also reminds us of just how human you and other influencers are which helps to not feel so separated from the world we see online.💕
i’m really proud of you for having the strength to talk about such raw topics, i appreciate you being so honest and it does actually help my personal life so thank you for being you 💗🥰
i feel bad that she has to explain her self and feels that she has to apologize all the time. i forgive you summer, you got your subscriber back:)
just wondering are you a poc?
It is so visible how you changed. I really liked you a year ago, but I love the person that you are today so much more! You’ll get through everything that you are struggling with rn! :)))
Hey girl. I’m Mormon too and finding your own testimony to stand on is a journey!! I practically went inactive after high school but my life got crazy and I finally turned to god for help. I’ve since served a mission and loved every second of it. I wish you the best on your path to conversion hun!!!
Elyse Esquivel do you know where she answers that question?
Rubaba Rehman 10:24
I’m Mormon too she’s a great example
It’s crazy what happens to all of us right now
The only thing what I want to do right now is to give you the biggest hug and say THANK YOU. I am honestly so proud of you, so proud to see that you’re grown into this beautiful person you are now. I support and love you with all my heart. Thank you for being open about so many things. I think you’ve helped and inspired a lot of people who also struggling with this... I LOVE YOU
Can i just say I unsubscribed and haven’t watched her videos since the whole situation that happened. But I came and watched this video today and I’m amazed at the growth and maturity she exemplifies now, she is truly a different person and honestly a role model.
I was genuinely upset and not proud at all when things came to surface about what you did. I took a step back from all your channels and social media for a year. I stumbled upon this video and gave it a shot. I’m truly blown away about how mature, humble and well spoken you are. I am so glad you grew from a simple mistake and you’re doing so good. Thank you Summer
Man that “when you hit 20” sentence hit hard. Literally went through the same thing
i‘ve been watching summer over 3 years now and she helped in so many things in life, i watched her while i was going through not only ups but also downs and im just so thankful for everything , i mean thanks to summer i started my bullet journal and got my life together, its really weird how a person on the internet can have such a big affect on ones life, i mean even now in „corona times“ while dealing with anxiety she distracts me and helps me
I’ve always supported you and I know you’ve made mistakes but you have definitely grown from them because you show maturity as the years go on xxx alsooo for a video idea u never really do anymore you could do like ‘30 outfits if you’ve nothing to wear’ CUZ I LOVE YOUR CLOTHES THEYRE SO COOL
The internet is fucking crazy and so many people are so quick to attack someone for a situation that has been twisted by copious amount of reposting, etc. I hope you continue to be strong and know that you do have people who watch you because we want to, not to find the tiniest thing to criticize you on
I love how you try to stay so positive and how you’re opening up a lot, so inspiring!
i struggled/still struggle with weight gain! i was 108 before i got pregnant and now i’m one thirty something. it’s the worlds worst feeling, i get it. it’s made me depressed, but it gets better. 💛 accepting the way you look, which i’m still learning to do, makes these ideal body images that society implements mean absolutely nothing. i got a beautiful baby girl out of my weight gain. i’m still trying to lose and tone but i rarely get sad over it. honestly i felt this entire video. so proud of you summer. keep your head up. 💛
This video was so heartwarming to watch! So happy you’re finding yourself
so weird us being the same age has allowed me to literally grow up with you.. and what you go through either i’ve already been through or are going through it at the same time. it has made me feel so understood. the acne, the soul-searching, the insecurities, the self-realization. it’s crazy!! i truly feel like i’ve had a best friend through it all, you’re so much like me and i see so much of myself in you so it makes me happy to see you thriving, maybe that’s what is next for me💜💜
aww this video is sooo GOOD thank u for opening up!! u are so strong & i love u sm!!!
Summer idk if u truly know how much people you have inspired by just sharing your life with its ups and downs. There are so many struggles in the world and by proving that no one is alone you truly brighten up my day and give me the courage to be true to myself so all I can say is thank u.... for everything
thanks for acknowledging. i lost my job serving in NYC & had to move home so i could use the little of my savings to afford rent. this is such a scary/stressful time. but trying to use it to make content myself & appreciate all the creativity that will blossom from it.
THANK YOU for openly talking about your body confidence. i struggle with binge eating as well, and it is always comforting to hear someone else’s experience and advice. ❤️❤️
Hi Summer! I'm sure you'll never see this but I wanted to let you know that you have pulled me away from a very similar dark time in my life. You mention your weight gain which was something I had also never really experienced before until around the same time you say you started experiencing it. Also, acne was never something I had struggled with until around the time you began to struggle with it. The only difference is, I never had the courage to come out publicly and acknowledge my newest insecurities because I did not want to come off weak or helpless. However, now that I have been following your journey for quite some time, I realizing that displaying your insecurities is not weak but indeed so very strong and inspiring. You have allowed me to remember that despite these new insecurities, I am still beautiful and deserving of love and acceptance just how we all love and accept you during these tough times. All I can really say is thank you so so much for sharing your story and continue to remain as positive as possible about it all. Hehe also in the search of a new high coverage and healthy foundation I came across the Bare Minerals mineral powder foundation that is made specifically for skin with acne and works absolute wonders. :))
Please do this more often! This is a great Q&A and this really helps ppl who are struggling with the same things you are. Thank you Summer, for being so honest and genuine with your audience!❤
I knew she was depressed, I could tell. I'm happy for you Summer, it's tough growing up on the internet.
i honestly was so disappointed back in august and I was unsure about following your videos and socials, but I kept doing it because I knew that under all that immaturity there was someone who could've learn something. I am now very proud f the content that you bring on this channel and I immensely appreciate your honesty and vulnerability. Everyone makes mistakes and the importance is to knowledge that and to try to become a better person everyday.
i appreciate the rawness of this video. so glad to see your growth and i'm praying for your mental and physical health and your future. 🤎
summer, THANK YOU so much for opening up about your binge eating disorder. I am there myself, and i feel like you never hear people speak openly about binging and dealing with weight gain so i really appreciate that you spoke about it.
I love this seasons of endless summer, I don’t however like how Laura would get jealous about Quincy! She just seems so jealous and sneaky especially around you!
as someone who is currently struggling with binge eating disorder, hearing ur story helps so much . i relate to legit everything ur saying . don’t feel as alone and i’m so much more inspired and motivated to heal. thank u for sharing bc i know i would never have the balls to !! much love
Also love how raw, honest and vulnerable you are in this 🤍 not always easy but you do it so gracefully
Listening to Summer is so helpful .She helps me to get out of the depression I face. I hope she will keep helping me and everybody out there. Love you Summer.
Her fit tho.... 10/10
it’s not easy to live the life that you live and always be in the public eye, but i have always loved your videos and appreciate that you’re open and honest with the things that you put out into the world. you’re inspiring and i’m praying for you and sending lots of love 💛
Everyone talking about how much has grown Summer and I completely agree and I am so proud of her but I just love her tshirt
i just rewatched the old video you mentioned and i rly noticed how much youve grown and matured recently! it's rly hard to admit ur mistakes but i think ur much more chill and mature and i enjoy ur content a lot more!
i’m really proud that you’ve been founding yourself kind of, and i’m happy that you’ve like just been happier i love you summer
it’s really awesome when people can come and make a video and talk about things they know they did wrong and why it’s wrong and genuinely learn from their mistakes. like she said she was younger and had a bubble she hadn’t really been out of so as a young influencer she was bound to make mistakes. i’m glad she’s learned from them and is obviously trying to do better. give her credit for that, and stop pushing her down because what’s that going to do? help her rise and grow from this because that’s what we’re all here to do in life is learn and grow (:
It’s good you’ve looked back and realized how you have changed.
Thank you for making this video! I’m 19 and sometimes feel so alone with dealing w real life and finding myself but seeing you and seeing other people going through the same thing makes me feel better. We’re all in this together and it’s exciting to think that we have this big beautiful life ahead and this is just the start to discovering ourselves!
summer is so gorgeous and strong.
so proud of you. you are so strong to open up like this. stay strong!
it’s cool to hear your still lds, i am too but sometimes it’s hard to show the stuff your going through because you feel like you don’t necessarily fit into the “norm” of our church. so i understand where your coming from!!
Maddie Carter literally!! I just got baptized and I love how she shows herself, and lives her life :)
Oh my gosh Summer. Thank you. Thank you for being honest and open and you. Thank you for being true to yourself and admitting to us that you struggle. It has helped me and probably so many others realise we’re not alone. Watching your videos makes me smile and brings me back to reality and helps snap me out of a dark place. Thank you 💕
really hope i could just overcome my insecurities like how Summer overcame her weight gain insecurity
Jess L have hope girl! it takes time but you’ve got this :))
Hey girl, it's so amazing to watch you continue to grow and evolve! I used to have a binge eating disorder too. It was really hard for me to bounce back and work on making myself healthy again. I'm so happy that you're able to talk about it and share something that is terrifying, especially when you have such a big platform on social media. Thanks for spreading positivity, I think everyone needs a little bit of that considering what's happening in the world right now. Keep it up with the self care/ self love. You are beautiful, don't forget that :)
before you stay mormon you should really research the mormon church more because once i did i understood more about it and the more i kept learning the more i realized that it’s not for me. :) but i respect your love for God i just think mormons don’t understand everything like sexism, rascism, etc. you should really look in on it , i love you 💕
I've been feeling really bad lately, just beating myself up over silly stuff I guess and I need to be kinder to myself but it's so hard. You opening up has really helped me, it's made me feel less alone because right now I feel like I have no one. Thank you Summer ❤️
i got the reminder on insta, and i was waiting for this to come out so badly omg and it's finally out!!
i love the way you are now.🌞 you really really meant what you said, it came from your heart and body and i hope you‘re doing okay!! I did experience the same thing; finding yourself, dealing with mistakes you made and finally figuring out what you want in life and who you really are besides all you wanted to be. And this is the part, where I struggled. Because suddenly you don‘t like your actions, how you communicate, the way you think and to find your little self in the big picture you deliver people day by day- is so hard. Thank you for sharing this !! I know you will be better soon, all the effort (in a psychological way) you put in this, will pay in the end. Love you🧡🧡
had my grandmothers funeral yesterday and i come from an extremely big family. so some family came from paris and italy and there was roughly 200 of us in one building and now me and my dad are both sick
I’m honestly so happy for you summer! I’ve also been going through a phase of binge eating and gaining weight, also causing depression, anxiety, and self esteem problems. It really does make me feel better when other people talk about their life and what they’ve gone through. Thank you summer! You are my absolute favorite RUclipsr❤️
this video was so pure it’s so encouraging how you’re going through your own struggles yet still come here trying to stay positive and help others ❤️ we are so proud of you keep your head up and don’t lose hope God bless you Summer
Summer, you definitely don't know how much this video means to me. It made me feel really happy and also that a person can find happiness even if they are single and even if they don't have true friends. You have always been my inspiration. Love you
This is the first time i comment on her videos AND let me just say that I'VE BEEN HERE FOR 4 YEARS....
i’m 19 almost 20 and i COMPLETELY get you.. i’m constantly learning and trying to figure who i am, who i’m trying to be.. i feel like i don’t relate to anyone my age because most people are focused on egotistical things and when you said your feel insecure but more so about your personality i FELT that. so glad to hear someone my age who i feel like i relate to... love you summer! ✨🦋🤍
corona is getting confusing for me because im around my grandparents a lot, but i also got school canceled for 6 weeks, and now im getting mad, i want people to be healthy, and help other people stay healthy, but i want to be able to sit in a restaurant or go to the movie theatre. ooft
Faith Elizabeth it is a confusing time at the moment due to coronovirus.I can certainly relate to your feelings of frustration etc.I just want it to be over and normal life to resume.Hopefully in a few months that will happen.Stay strong
I live in Italy and there's a lot here to deal with. I've been at home from school like for 3 weeks now, and I'm going to stay at least for other 2 weeks now.. sooo it sucks, because I can't go out and meet my friends and my boyfriend, but you know, here in Italy we're continuing to say that our grandparents at 18 were called to fight in Second World War, but we are only asked to stay home. I think that that helps a lot, or I hope so also for you. Sorry for my English xoxo
Marta Gillio your English is great!
ouf the privilege is coming out. stay home, stay safe. if not for you then for others. its not the end of the worlf if you dont get to see your friends for a few weeks. there are people dying because there arent enough devices and help being offered.
Karen I know I stay home always and if not just to buy food or other necessities that I cannot wait for. Here in Italy we are taking it seriously and police can stop you in the streets if you’re out with no reason other than health issues (if you’re going to the hospital) or going shopping for food. Stay safe please, we recognized this virus too late and now all of us are in danger. Don’t make the same error please 🙏🏼🙏🏼
@summer, you have no idea how much i love you and how much you really fricken inspire me as a person. I have been watching your videos for about 4-5 years now and i've never loved a youtuber this much! you are so amazing, truly wish i could meet you
summer hope you’ll continue to power through life. I love seeing you start to thrive after what has happened in the past and being able to bounce back. ❤️ stay strong!!
continue being open, it helps tremendously 💜 hard times don’t last forever, EVERYTHING is up to YOU
