"This would be a great idea, only if the one being violent doesn't turn on you. If the person being violet turns and tries harming you then there would be no other choice but to call the police."

"Yes, violence can be physical, but it could also be mental. It's not an everyday thing to see violence on the streets, let alone for someone to be violent towards you when on the streets."

8Makena replied to 8Makena's discussion Are Barbie's A Good Toy For Children?
"Some kids are more mature for their age, so the dolls could affect the way they look at themselves. Seeing as what people believe is the "perfect" body standard could affect kids' mental health and make them believe they have to look like that."

8Makena replied to 8Makena's discussion Are Barbie's A Good Toy For Children?
"That is great that the doll didn't have an effect on the way you saw yourself. There are some kids who do see them as the way that they are expected to look. So, barbies can cause more mature children, at a young age, to see them differently."
Feb 10, 2022
8Makena replied to 8Makena's discussion Are Barbie's A Good Toy For Children?
"Yes, this is true. Parents do have a bigger impact on their children than dolls. There are some kids who could see them as "perfect" and assume that they are supposed to look like them. Barbies do make great entertainment for younger kids."

8Makena replied to 8Makena's discussion Are Barbie's A Good Toy For Children?
"Many would say that barbies are more for girls rather than boys. Yes, there are some boys who did play with them growing up, but that's because they wanted to.  I still believe that the original barbie pushed unrealistic beauty standards on kids."

"I personally think that as well. Barbies, or some of them, are considered "perfect" so it could cause issues. Not many kids think of them as a toy they want to be like, they only think of them as a toy. "
