The parent need to realize that just because she looks young, doesn’t mean they can pretend she’s a child forever.
Right.
You’re right but could you. Apart from her mental state witch is all that of a 21 year old woman. Her physical state is an 8 year old girl. It’s not easy breaking a mental barrier like that
Parents will be parents. There is nothing you can do about it. We are there baby, it doesn’t matter how old you get.
@@Obeox normal parents respect ur boundaries
To be honest the parents get a point, because they care about her
She seems to be super unhappy about her condition so she tries to prove she’s normal… the parents probably shouldn’t have sheltered her so much.
Mby they got munchausem by proxy and unconsciously act like she can't be independent young wonam to make psychological side of her condition worse.
If you were her parents would you be completely relaxed about everything she does. Who's she meets, where she goes?
Not easy for any of them, she wants someone in her life but the worry is people attracted to her are probably creeps
@@bennyc2426 exactly. A lot easier said than done.
@@bennyc2426 just like every other woman experiences…. there are plenty of male creeps walking around normal so again they shouldn’t have sheltered her. sheltering usually causes rebellion & over compensating behavior which can harm her long before this imaginary creep
@@CoCo-yv3hl she's far from "every other woman", on a physical level 10 year olds look older, she is 22. Seeking other people the same age, if you saw her.. not knowing her age with a 22 year old and it clearly seemed they were on a date. It would look strange, I hope she finds someone because that's got to be hard
My heart breaks for this poor woman tbh. I can’t imagine how hard it would be to accept yourself when everyone is looking down to you as a child and patronizing you
Fr thats depressing
One could have tremendous fun with that though.
And no one's going to suspect you of anything either.
4:15, the way she plays with her friend knowing her disabilities, and doesn't push it too far. Thats beautiful; it allows Shauna to feel like she's not missing out on absolutely anything friends do
She’s so vulnerable I can’t even imagine, being the same age as me but trapped in a child like body. My heart goes out to her
Hasbulla* understands
@@tdb4763 😂 maybe the should meet. They would be a nice couple to❤️
I know! Because of her appearance predators will target her if they saw her alone at night. Her body (or kidney) might not be developed enough for smoking/vaping/drinking either.
@@huabaschorsch7568 LOL
At my age, with my body breaking down, I'd happily take being younger. And, I've never cared what others think of me. Even when I was young.
Shauna's friends sound so supportive.
She is blessed.
me when i lie
She’s looks to young for a 22 year old
@isa oh
@@Fnafelizabethafton wow didn’t notice thanks Sherlock for the great observation
not really… 4:18
I'm glad she stood up for herself with her mom. I had a helicopter mom also. And one of the hardest things is speaking up for yourself and setting boundaries that are recognized and respected.. I believe as she gets more independent it'll get a little easier. Usually, when ppl depart from their parents household it gets better as time goes on.
When it came to me, speaking up for myself wasn’t the problem, it was actually getting her to listen to what I had to say.
What is a “ helicopter mom” ?
@@Meowqueen344 helicopter meaning a mother who takes as an overprotective or excessive intherest in the life of her child or children an aggressively overbearing helicopter mom your welcome
I knew a girl like this in college, it was so weird, she has the child voice and everything. Poor girl would always get turned down for dates and asked us why as we said " because most guys aren't pedophiles" any normal guy would not be able to have "relationships" with someone who looked and sounded like a 6 year old.
I have to say this makes sense 😢
Thats really insensitive to say to someone thats so down like that
Bruh even if you’re into that you still gotta worry about getting beat up by every guy who thinks he is protecting a child.
@@uggggggghhhhh people need to hear the truth zt some point as long as you aren't being malicious about it
Its not fair to her, but i cant blame the dudes either.
just seeing the first couple of minutes of the video i feel so bad for her cause of how much she’s treated like a child… and i’m so glad that she still had friends that support her
fax
I look young for my age and my parents are like that too. I'm 30 and some people still assume I'm 16 or 15 at the youngest so I got some tattoos . I was skinny and pear shaped most of my life but I filled out more recently.
she is a child though
She's tiny and seemingly defenseless. She seems like she is unaware of the dangers in the world. What can go wrong?
@@IceGolem763 Shes 23…
She needs a career/job. If you can’t financially make it on your own, it’s really hard to convince your parents that your able to handle yourself
She's making big $ by being in this show.
Her parents probably never let her have one
She can work on computers from home.
I know I can say that from experience like proving you can hold down a job and mange your own finances does go a long to your parents trusting you and respecting your boundaries.
Trueee
This is honestly pretty accurate on disability life in general. It’s very common for the parents to be over protective to the point of stunting the disabled person mentally and emotionally.
Chris Chan
How is she disabled?
Shauna really need some friends that are also little people. She needs to be able to hang out with someone who makes her feel normal and looks at least similar to herself sometimes.
Maybe she could find a relationship with a guy that has the same situation as her? Society can be cruel but shouldn't judge.
@@lorettadansereau8651 she should date hasbula
@@OprahshusbandDAMN
i feel so bad for her, she’s a grown woman and they need to accept this her parents are too overprotective
edit: i get she physically looks young and it’s understandable but her parents constantly asking where she is who with etc is a bit far
Not her physical appearance though, and creeps are everywhere
@@gandangpinay2158
Exactly lol but oh well let a pedo take her.
She still lives in their home. They are allowed to have rules in their home
@@mizzysparrots4874 not rules of where she goes. she’s over 18 she can do what she wants.
@@Bee-cm5md being over 18 doesn’t mean you can do what you want, she’s still dependent on her parents and lives in their home. If she wants to continue living there she needs to follow their rules. They like to know where she is at all times for her safety. And that’s a legit thing
I would love to see Shauna start a RUclips channel as a means of financially supporting herself and sharing how she navigates in this world. She could document building a custom tiny house, learning self defense, safety precautions when she travels, shopping for and having a vehicle converted to meet her needs. Documenting her life, going away for college and dorm life would help her see what living away from her parents would feel like. She's a beautiful young lady, she could do hair and make up tutorials, clothing hauls and try ons, cooking segments, travel destinations...like really show others who may have physical limitations how to have full lives. She could help so many...I can think of 10 brand deals that could support her channel!
I would subscribe and watch
i would love to watch her do quite literally anything, i hope she sees this
Tlc check ain’t big enough
I would subscribe
And she has this is it
I can’t begin to fathom the level of frustration she deals with constantly. I would be having meltdowns left and right if I was her.
and that gives her the right to vape
in that case you would throw a tantrum 😂
I love how she tells her parents how it is like her mom rolled her eyes is unreal . They need to stop😊
You don't need to have vape to look older. All you need is to show people that you are mature enough to understand you have that condition and people are just concerned
esspesially for the fact of how unhealthy vaping is
Easier said than done.I can imagine she's tired of explaining herself to people.
@@jordiforsack6894 true. Her behavior and her actions are only a reaction to her social environment and the reactions of others. So she starts to act stubborn and does all the "bad things" which are adults (like people in her age) do, in order to look older. I totally feel her. But I also get the reactions of others...
So in the end it doesn't matter what she's doing, it seems like she always gets negativ or critical reactions while she's only trying to live her life.
@@jordiforsack6894 Yes but maturity comes with acceptance. Once she gained that surely she will have her family's respect
I think she’s meaning because smoking ages you faster. So she thinks smoking will make her age faster.
ima be honest. vaping don't make u look older. it makes her seem younger because she cares so much about what other people think
Yeah but like what else can ya do?
"Act mature" ?
Trust me if you looked like her you would also care what others think. Having to witness all of those stares gives you trauma
Ok so vaping would definitely make her look older than if she wasn’t vaping and it can’t make her seem younger to care what people think because the random people in public aren’t going to know that’s why she’s vaping.
@@yabba_dabbad00 smoking vape doesn’t make you seem mature literal middle schoolers vape ,actually being mature makes you mature not acting
This. Only two groups of people vape: teenagers and ex smokers
The part that she says you have to just cuz you cannot always get your way she sounds so much like a mom I love it
I love shauna. it makes me feel like if she can be herself than I can be proud to be myself too
Shauna isn't taking care of herself though. Smoking and drinking not cool.
@@MJ-gj6mj fax
I bet people at the brewery were like "Is this for real? Are they letting their child drink and vape?"
Vaping isn't going to make you look older. People will just look at you and see a child vaping.The best option is to avoid doing unhealthy behaviours for the purpose of seeking validation from strangers.
facts
she said it was for herself though, but i still agree with you
Shes not doing it for other people opinions she does it to make her self feel older
That was my first thought exactly...
Incorrect
I hope the best for her down to earth very genuine and happy. Looking young and and have fun is great. A great heart over rules everything in life.
“Vaping” lol she’s getting toasted at the brewery, I like her haha
Vaping and drinking won't make her look any older outwardly but at this rate when she's 30 she'll have the lungs and liver of an elderly person.
What from socially drinking? She’s not an alcoholic you know!
@@cmdjk1 Jeff's a tool, ignore him.
@@cmdjk1 how do you know when her friend says she drinks more than them
@@cmdjk1 but what if she keep drinking to prove it then got addicted to it.
@@CoCo-yv3hl Just because she drinks more than then doesn’t mean she’s an alcoholic.
Because of her condition and being on television, she needs to be extremely careful- especially describing where she's going to live alone.
😲That's literally a sexist, misogynistic, Patriarchal comment. She is just as strong as any man is and can take care of herself. I just can't rn with you people.
@@Liu-Kang-Xi I'm just going to assume that this is a joke.
@@chuck7024 Wow, really you too!? Where do you people even come from!? President Biden warned us about you Extremists.
@@Liu-Kang-Xi actually its true though?
@@chuck7024 yessir he’s leaving weird comments all over this
I FEEL HER SO MUCH :(
As someone who is 4’9 I understand your situation completely.
everyone mentions her height but no one ever mentions her voice
If she was able to do something to her vocal cords to help deepen her voice it would do wonders for her
@@Yah82 yesss
It’s super expensive to change the pitch, and there are side effects - she would have to take so many hormones
I 100% guarantee if you heard the sound of your voice you would hate it. Record your speaking voice.....
See what i mean?
@@georgeglass3680 what?
Vaping is a terrible habit. So is smoking. Don’t start. It’s so addictive.
Yes. Vaping is ridiculously addictive. I'm currently vaping and it's so hard to quit once you start.
@@alycooper1932 ain't it crazy.... I'm going through the same thing
I think it's THC or CBD
My mother vapes all day and coughs constantly I'm disgusted by her
@@polarisbeau9401 then move out or stay away from her easy as that
her eyes are so beautiful
I love this show. Its soo interesting. I love Shaunas fighter attitude. Ever since i got ill i stopped fighting. I think the step dad is so nice.
Man, this must be so hard to live with. Heart goes out for her.
Frr
Huh
Her feelings are also a display of how badly we treat actual children
Finally someone said this
I agree. Society treats children terribly
Totally! I feel this on a smaller level as a young looking person almost 30, people talk down to me and are often dismissive of me, they’ll go “oh sorry I thought you were like 17!” and it will make me feel sad for how adults see and speak to teenagers and kids
@eric Spencer you’re obviously slow because she already said that she wants to move out💀
@eric Spencer I didn’t mean like that I mean you’re thinking slow😭
She seems so cool, I would be her friend for sure ❤
This girl has to be the most beautiful little person ever I mean she’s so pretty
As bad as I feel for her, I feel like she should act her age rather than try to just look her age..
I think she's acting pretty normal for a 22 year old, the sweet spot of millennial and gen z 😂 a little judgemental but that's just her opinion, if my friends were getting married in their 20s i would be concerned too 😂
She's pretty much acting her age though.
I think she is acting like anyone else her age and it just looks like she isn’t because she sounds like a young child.If you imagine a woman her age doing and saying the same things as her you’ll see that it isn’t very different.
@@snazzydrew Sometimes
@@nicoleraheem1195 I've seen older adults act more immature
🤨
Shauna vaping may seem cool or something interesting to try, but please be carful with it and please don’t just do it to “look older”, because it’s a HARD addiction to stop and you really don’t want to put yourself threw all that unnecessary pain❤️
Okay MOM!
through*
@@Kreptic Thanks!! Spelling/ grammar isn’t my strength 😅
@@drosims7993 dude all they said was addiction is a hard thing to go through, which is true. sorry you can’t handle reality
@@bl0odtea fr tho
I just can’t!!! She’s soooo cuuuute!
Honestly, she’s lucky to have parents that ask her where she’s going. It means they care. It might get annoying, but I’m sure they mean well. I don’t think she sees how much of a risk her condition is. She looks much younger than she actually is, and I’m sure her parents just want her to be safe.
The fact is, is that she’s not younger. So there actually is no real risk.
@@malcolmmoreaux I think they're refering to creeps or pedos trying to aproach her, her looking young makes her an easy target for these kinds of people.
Yeah I think she's perceiving their care wrong you know she's thinking that they're seeing her as a child because she feels like she's a child due to her condition.
but she can't really see how scared they are for her because of the predators that's out there.
THESE predators can easily overpower her
As a parent is just scary to have a beautiful daughter who is a little person who wants to live her life without restraints as if she is of normal height
@@nicoleraheem1195 no she's not actually. You could just tell that the way they talk about her and to her and the fact that they don't want her to move out and be independent at all. You know how many people who have dwarfism live independently her parents are a problem
@@vanilla5245 I think she's a bit more fragile than a dwarf
i hope she makes a youtube channel her personality is perfect for it tbh
Parents will never stop being your parents. I get treated the same way, I'm like I'm old don't worry about me, but it's their right to know your where abouts and the time you get back home. It's human nature we all worry about are loved ones safety ❤ and we must appreciate and respect that
She should've been told about the dangers of both smoking and vaping.Especially for someone her size. That being said from an ex-vaper.
Due' her size? You think smoke particles size define the rate of danger instead of amount of inhaling?
Is there some kind of amount that is default to inhale in one breath... a rule in code of "proper way to vape" or incapability to control how much you inhale?
@@ollivainionpaa684 I don't think you very well understood what they were trying to say in the three sentences they wrote.
@@coltgar2465 They?
@@ollivainionpaa684 I'm trying to avoid assuming whether or not they are male or female, since I can't tell much about them by their profile picture and RUclips name, so I've decided it's the best move to refer to them with they/them pronouns.
I would love if they organised a meet up for everyone they can find with her condition, I hope that would help her feel normal by being surrounded by people who are in exactly the same situation.
That’s a great idea:)I really hope she finds love and happiness in her life, she’s really sweet:)
She can be kidnapped it doesn’t matter how old you are I’m almost 21 and my mom still ask me questions on where I’m going
Yes girl bc 20 is nothing trust me you're a baby still!
Yes i was forced into human trafficking at 23 , i was 85 pounds and i looked 15 and i sounded like a little girl. They told clients i was 16 years old to make more money off me . im now almost 30 and still talk like a little girl and act like a little girl because i was forced to make myself appear as young as possible for many years . she is def at risk for human trafficking
@@anjarae8828 yea she better be careful fr, she would make these sickos out here a lot of money.
@@anjarae8828 skill issue
That’s a risk for ALL women in the world
Shes so cute I wish she could feel happy no matter what
Had a friend who was 4'8" and let me tell you she was tough and smart! And still my best friend!!
I worry for her safety with this much exposure now. Like others have said, describing where you're living alone on TV is cautionary for ANYONE as you could easily be tracked. Someone also mentioned that someone who is very attracted to her could just as easily have a chance of being a weirdo/p*do. That must be so difficult to determine in her place. I wish her safety and the best her independence.
I was thinking the same thing like what if a creep saw this and wanted to kidnap her or something horrific
@@ryana3298 Exactly! Heartbreaking that that must be something she/her family considers daily. For that reason I understand their heavy involvement.
Immediately judging men.. automatically.
Same I hope no Rebecca Schaffer repeats come from this.
@@harbinger8035 yes
What a tough hand she's been dealt. Luckily it seems she has great friends, supporting family and a great attitude!
curse or not?. if she's smart she can live a life of luxury $$$
Tough?? You are an idiota
How wonderful !
I hope she finds love with someone that will treat her well like she should be treated.
How can you imagine someone being attracted to someone who looks like a child?
Her dating life must be a challenge if not a nightmare. Any guy dating her will pass for a creep or a pedo
No bloke will date her to be honest
The worry of being accused of being a pedo would be constant and real
No one would want that
It's tricky. Imagine if someone really likes her but doesn't want to get harassed or possibly arrested for what looks like dating a child.
@@swish3432 Someone who likes her personality, and not physical appearance?
Maybe she should try dating another dwarf? I think that dating someone with a similar situation could help her learn how to be more independent. And I don’t think that she would get that creepy feeling, even from the public
As she wasn't born with dwarfism, she might not want to deal with the genetics of a man with dwarfism. She wants children but it would be high risk no matter what.
Lol dwarf don't look like children thou
@UCN9AcPgU5CcV-tKSBZya1YA you people don’t watch the show I take it? I guess I have to fill you in our can you just stop being trolls and watch and listen to the show, she has induce dwarfism, shows how little minded society is. If I have to go look up what the definition of a dwarf or explain it then it really shows how simple minded most of the population is and I’m sorry you never knew anyone or met anyone with a condition that made them short, I have been super short all my life so this is close to my heart. Meeting people that are actually shorter than meet is not often. I was bullied a lot because of it.
People are being so short sided. They should be a little kinder. It seems like no one really cares, like not even a tiny bit.
Was also thinking this. There are other people with her particular type of dwarfism who have online communities. That said, I get the feeling she would need to be more comfortable with herself first. It seems like she's still in the denial phase where if she does all the things a normal tall person does she'll be normal.
The younger sister will forever be my favorite
She is so beautiful ❤
Someone leaving home in their 20s will always present its challenges no matter the situation, all be it that her specific situation has unique challenges but overall as she said; "you have to adjust" and it will be an adjustment but more independence will give her strength. Life is not easy all the time but it makes you stronger the more you go through. The protective parenting come from a place of love but I hope for Shauna's sake they will see that letting go will give her the ability to grow mentally into adulthood and gain that independence she spoke of needing.
I don't think that Shauna realizes how in physical danger she is in because of her size and she looks like a child there are a lot of sick people out there and hanging out in bars is the wrong place for her to look for love.
Where else should she be looking?
@@propogandalf she shouldn’t look for it at all love comes naturally
Fr I see. Why she’s overprotective o er her
How is she different from midgets that go out? Her voice sounds young but really weird so people can notice she has some physically problem
@@mysteriouscee1086 I disagree sometimes you have to act
I really do hope she finds someone that she clicks with. She deserves it. 👏
I really wish I could do something for her...
She seems so well adjusted for someone with such a rare and frustrating condition...
It's weird that every time I see this show the people behind the camera ask someone about what age they think she is and ask about her height just seems unnecessary
I don’t have a condition but Im short and look significantly younger. I’m also 22 and understand how it feels to be treated younger. I fully understand when things are done to try to make myself look older like getting tattoos or having drinks.
Me too! I can’t stand feeling like I have to deepen my voice and have a full face of makeup
You better enjoy the young compliments I’m 33 I smoke, and people think I’m 50.
Me too! Guys at work don’t believe me when I tell them that I’m 22 so they go up to me dad who also works where I work and ask how old I am and my dad tells them that I’m 22. I also went to a restaurant/bar and I asked for a margarita and our waiter saw me pulling my ID out while I was asking and he started acting weird.
Same, I’m only 5’0 and it’s incredibly frustrating being treated like a child bc I’m shorter. People will treat me like I’m not even there.
lol im the opposite people think i look older. 21 but look 25-30
so sweet young lady , just luv her
I read here people talking about how to change her to make her more normal, to change her voice and things like that, I think she's perfect the way she is, people have to change themselves and adapt to her.
Shauna rippin the cart ⛽️😭💀
Deadass she said “vape” THATS A CART BBY🤣🤣🤣
@@wild.starrr Fr that’s thc 😭😂
ong bruh. everyone talking abt a vape 💀💀
Why is everybody down talking her? Yo she just livin her life as best as she could. I bet she smiles 10 times more then most of y’all 💯
People are just over opinionated and self righteous.
I think people just want what’s best for her. It can’t be easy with her condition; she should still be careful. Creeps are everywhere and it doesn’t really matter your age or how you look, but her condition increases that risk factor. Vaping is also a terrible habit and she doesn’t need to be encouraged to do it.
@@misskelly9184 I think most people just want her to be careful. I don’t see how that’s being over-opinionated or self-righteous. I don’t think she realizes just how much of a risk her condition puts her in. It’s okay that she wants to be independent, but she needs to be careful.
I highly doubt that
Exactly she still grown everybody comes in different shades aka ethnicities, height, body size, and etc. so when someone says she can’t date because she is a little person is utter complete bs even jasmine from little women la has a normal height husband I mean half the cast has average height boyfriend and husbands like tf
So nobody is gonna talk about how gorgeous Naiyh is? 😍❤😌
As a mother I completely understand the way the mother thinks! It’s so hard!!
THIS looking older thing is starting to become an obsession for her.
Once it becomes an obsession it will turn into desperation.
Once it becomes desperation, she will put herself in dangerous positions
I only hope that her friends and family can help her redirect her focus to something that's going to make her feel confident about herself.
I don't think she should be focused on dating when she already feels like she's inadequate.
I believe that she should work on herself more before dating.
Who made you such an expert. Let people live.
You described that very well 👏
@@harbinger8035 Experience. Everyone doesn't live their lives making the best decisions. There are Some things that we just shouldn't do. Like getting out of the vehicle in a wild safari 10 feet away from a hungry male lion.
Should that person just live their lives ?
@@Noortje394 I had to edit because I was using my voice recorder, but thanks. I'm scared for her too.
I think the biggest problem is her parents still treating her like a child
She just has to accept that she’s always going to be looked at in the wrong way in certain places and honestly, I’d be shocked aswell if I wasn’t aware of her condition
Props to shauna for taking life by the reigns. Do your thing girl.
the mom is living the dream of every mother
Girl I'm 28 no kids not married stop comparing urself to others everything has its time u can't rush something .... if u want real love and connection it takes time and patience 💯
Sad.
@@joejackson9986 how is that sad ??💀 she’s just independent.nun wrong wit that
Very true. Enjoy loving and taking care of yourself. Theres so much to explore!
She has almost 0 chance of having a relationship unless she dates someone with the same condition as her, which is unlikely.
You aren't even remotely in her situation, so why are you talking?
I can really relate to that. I'm 5 feet tall. I had to show my ID until I was 28. Now I m 34 and have to explain to 22 year old guys why they are too young for me. Growing up being reduced to the best (not small) ain't easy.!
I'm the same age and height as you! I totally feel you.
It’s totally normal to be ID’d until you’re 28…I’m 32 and 5’5” and still get ID’d unless I’m with my parents or a large group of friends.
idk maybe it depends on the place. i work at target and i have to ID everyone and 21 year olds look too excited and anyone born before 1992 looks so flattered and happy
but i never have the heart to tell them 😅
I look so young I still get carded. Heck, I've been asked things all my life because of it. Granted, I'm 5"6, but I still look like I could be in high-school. I'll be 31 this December. I totally feel for this woman.
My GF is small 5'1" (with a great sense of humor and confidence.) We're in our 30s. On the way to a Halloween party we dared her to trick or treat. She got candy at every house.
The way she says “yaaa” at the beginning is soo funny 😂
5:49 I love the way she says tipsy.
I hope healing and finding who she is as a person goes well. I bet she must go through a lot of mental stuff we don't know on the side, she just wants to be comfortable in her own skin I feel for her. Block out those haters and hug all the love you can get! Your a beautiful women!
I feel so bad for her she should be able to leave the house without so many questions being asked
She can easily be kidnapped with her size. I think the parents should ask questions but to limit them.
I feel so bad for her! I can’t imagine having a condition where I stay young forever 🤧
She has many friends, they should teach her more. It was so awkward when she brought up marriage and deeply in love when they barely been dating.AWKWARD
I’m almost 30. My parents still hound me questions where I’m going, who I’m meeting up with, what time am I going home, and etc. That might never stop because they’re parents. Sure, it’s probably annoying, but it gives them comfort.
I’m 33 and my parents still ask me where I’m going.
Same and I’m 34
Get your own place.
I'm so sorry
I’d love to be friends with her! She seems so fun and sweet. I love how much she cares about her friends life’s and asks them stuff, I also like how her friends can joke around with her
I really do feel bad for Shauna, but I didn't move out until I was 22 and I remember my parents always asking me where I was going when I left if they were home. My dad didn't really care, he mostly wanted to know if we'd be home for dinner or not. But I remember in college, I would go to class, then straight to work, then I'd go to my boyfriend's house and I'd often sleep there. My mom used to get really worried when I wasn't home by like 11pm and she'd text me like "where are you?" I would have to text her every night I slept at my boyfriend's just so she knew I wasnt going to be home.
I'm certain part of Shauna's parents' concern comes from her disability, but I think part of it is just normal parent stuff too.
Dad is so lovely and loving. Super great dAd she has btw
This is both inspiring and a bit heartbreaking all at once...
I think she's absolutely gorgeous. Definitely takes a strong mind to still be so positive
I feel for both of them. As a mom you want to protect her especially after all she has been through but at the same time she needs to have some of her own independence.
I really like her she’s got some spice much love to her and I hope her family situation gets better my mom and family are the same way especially with dating
It is absolutely hard to let go.
She says she is moving out but she literally doesn’t have a job or roommates reminds me when I was 16
The Johnston family keeps it moving and do not complain. They adapt. She should call Jonah for a date
Doesn’t Jonah already have a girlfriend?
She’s adorable 🥰
She’d be tight too 🤪
Be happy they ask so many questions about your life. I wish my mom could still boss me around 😢
Shauna, you'll work it out. You're a strong gal ! 🙏❤️🌹
Shauna may be tiny, but she is clearly very articulate and intelligent, probably more than most 20-somethings year olds. She should consider taking the traditional path both 18 years olds do to start independence: going to college away from home.
This way, she can start safely having some independence without her parents helicoptering, live her life, and get a degree to start a career that will allow her to truly be independent financially.
Intelligent????? She vapes.😂😂😂 she is no where near being intelligent
You know college is only worth it if your job absolutely requires it, right? Otherwise it’s not worth it.
@@sav6574 Why does that even matter? College is an enriching experience that she can obviously afford with the TV show money. She will learn a lot and perhaps make better life choices.
oh yeah vapig. veeeeeeeery intelligent 💀💀💀
Came back from college and recently had to have that talk with my parents “do I have to tell u every time I leave and where I’m going?” For me it was just all the double standards between me and my brother. It’s like now I’m 22 and y’all are still gonna ask me when I’m gonna be back?
you go girl! I’m wishing you all the best Shauna 🤗
She shouldn't vape
@@P.diddyJR she never said she should
I think something that would help her feel more normal is if she hung out with other people her age that have over protective parents regardless of their appearance/capabilities. Shes in a pretty normal situation that a lot of young adults are dealing with, it's just her parent's have a lot more reasonable explanation for their behaviour
the title is so misleading and the comments fell for it lol, she said she STARTED doing those things to look older but now it's just for herself. i don't know this girl and i don't encourage vaping but also like...it is her life. i don't have a condition but i do look quite a big younger than i am and i do have a helicopter mom and grew up very sheltered so i relate to her some. leave the poor girl alone :/
shaunas eyes are so pretty
I love her personality. I don’t think parents should shelter kids because it will always make them either lash out or get wild to prove themselves. When I first moved out for a time I was 20 & looked 17. Growing up in my 20’s I git mistaken a lot for being in high school or college. Now I’m 27 married & a grown women but my parents before getting married never sheltered me, not even as a teenager. I would come home late & traveled to Europe & did as I pleased because I never felt like I had to prove myself & my parents trusted me.
but she truly does act like a child
Yea I don't like judging people but it's hard not to when they act like something they say they don't wanna been seen as oh well ig
Honestly I think it’s because she has been treated like a child all of her life. I feel sympathy for her.
@@bluedog6294 I understand but she is very judgemental even tho she doesn't wanna be judged like that
Tall adults act like children to sometimes. If you been around actual 8 year olds they dont speak the same way she does. Especially with being on television and conversing with adults.
I think , well at least from what I see it is the voice is why she seems like a child.
