that's right everybody's favorite 15 year old tic-tock and Instagram star
Dani cohn is pregnant but for some reason people are acting surprised about
this what is up everybody this is Chris from the rewired soul where we talk
about the problem but focus on the solution and if you're new to my channel
what I like to do is pull different topics from the YouTube community or pop
culture or social media and try to see what lessons that we can learn from it
so if you're into that kind of stuff make sure you subscribe and bring that
notification bell and speaking of influencers make sure you follow me on
instagram and twitter at the rewired soul and yeah let's talk about dani
Cohn so last night I was getting ready to go to bed and I get a little quick
ball Twitter check-in and for some reason Danielle cohn was trending so I
see this just winning and I start clicking around and seeing what it is
and then it's saying Dani Cohn is pregnant and I'm like what the heck is
going on so Danielle Cohn is an influencer who I made a couple videos on in the
past and discussing you know just the social issues around this and it's not
just Dani Cohen being a young woman you know on the platform and the way she
does things but just just children as a whole being in the spotlight and the way
we kind of groom youth into wanting this kind of Fame of one in this kind of
stardom I talked about this in my kpop video that i just made yesterday about
kind of the darker side of kpop so anyways Danny Cohen she's been dating
this guy Mikey TUA I think his name is and yeah they're pregnant now I will say
this is a real quick disclaimer like I am still hoping that this is gonna come
out it's gonna be some kind of like prank
even though April Fool's was like a little over a week ago like I'm hoping
that that's the case but it doesn't seem like it
so anyways it looks like Danielle cone there was pictures of her like they had
a gender-reveal party at that party they actually did this
stream right here where they talk about it as well we just came on here like a
girl middle
we have videos coming out - about everything then on both of their
Twitter's they have what looks like a due date right for the baby to be born
which is in August all right and yeah I'm looking through Twitter and
there's quite a reaction about it and some people have messaged me you know
about my thoughts and everything and yeah like it's what I talk about the
bigger social issues around this so the first one is obviously like the title of
this video and what I mentioned you know and the intro is like people are
actually surprised about this like like how can we be surprised how can we there
is an over sexualized 15 year old who has click baited the world on YouTube
and you know because of like these kind of sexual things like like I I think
like one of her recent videos was like our first time or something like that
she does videos on YouTube about you know our mom go through her Dion's and
you know what my dad or dad or uncle someone I like that like getting
involved you know and looking at these things or like her outfits and
everything and if you go through her Instagram you know or even like her
tik-tok videos I don't have to talk so I haven't gone through that but I've seen
clips of it like she's a very sexualized teenager okay and obviously like we
gotta understand how the human mind works like when you get positive
reinforcement you're gonna keep doing that way and this is something that
we've seen happen like when Danny Cohn a young woman is promoting her body in a
certain way she gets a lot of followers she gets a lot of views and all of that
right and when she makes these the this kind of like sexual content with her
boyfriend like it gets promoted so what's happening as a society is we are
normalizing that behavior we're normalizing it and like I don't know
about all of you but like there was a show on MTV I don't know if it's still
on there but it was called Teen Mom basically it documented
you know teenage mothers and I don't know what the intention behind MTV's
Teen Mom was I don't know if the motivation was I look having a baby at a
young age could be really rough it could be really difficult but I think it sent
out the opposite message which is like what have a baby at a young age you
could be rich famous right and if you fold the stories
of like some of those teen moms like what is it Farrah Abraham like girls got
some issues you know what I mean and and I think there was another young woman on
there named amber like she's struggling with a lot of issues as well and yeah
teen pregnancy is hard and like that's the thing like now we have Danny Cohen
and I you guys think about her primary demographic who is her primary
demographic like it's not me I'm definitely not her primary demographic
but it's young boys and young girls right so you know I have this this kind
of internal conflict of should influencers be role models like I don't
think they should but they are put in that light like this is just part of
human nature and there's plenty of psychological studies out there I've
done plenty of videos on that about this kind of learned behavior and what kids
aspire to be and the connections that they make so there are many kids who
idolize Danny Cohn so when she's 15 years old and getting pregnant like that
justifies other teenagers to have unsafe sex because like I think as a society we
look for influencers to justify behavior that we know is unhealthy like whether
you want to believe that or not it's the truth it is the absolute truth we we
follow problematic youtubers we follow problematic influencers we follow
problematic celebrities to try to justify our own behavior because that's
just how we are like we have an internal compass of moral compass knowing the
difference between right and wrong but it's a lot easier to do bad right it's a
lot easier to have unsafe sex as a teenager it's not easier to act a fool
right it's a lot easier to go with your primal instincts than it is to do
healthy things right so when we find somebody who is rich and or famous who
is doing things that justifies what we're doing in our life we can point it
out and say oh well they're doing it they're doing it and they're successful
even though I don't a lot of us would vocalize that out loud
because we know how silly that sounds we use that as an internal justification
and this is the concern that we should be having now I also in discussing this
topic as a father right I'm a father do a ten year old son and you know I
haven't got to the time where we got to have like the birds and the bees
conversation at school hasn't introduced into sex education and things like that
but this is something that I have to be mindful of who is he looking at in the
influence of world who is he idolizing right like is this a good or a
bad role model because a lot of us we have these screwed up value systems
where we we idolize people for two reasons two reasons money and popularity
right money and popularity these are two things that we look at to say whether or
not somebody is a good person which is absolutely ridiculous
all right like how many people how many people with fame and fortune are not
good people at all you know what I mean like think about that for a second but
this is constantly seen in our society where people base somebody's like they
think somebody's morals are equivalent to the number they have whether it's
YouTube subscribers whether it's Instagram followers whether
it's tic toc followers whatever it is so there are young children who are looking
at Danny Coale tone as a role model the role model because of her popularity and
the money she makes these are not good things to base this off of and this is
one of the reasons why I've talked about celebrity suicides celebrity depression
all of these other things like we have solid proof we have proof we have
physical evidence that money and fame are not a foundation for happiness right
if that were the case no celebrity would ever be depressed no celebrity would
ever commit suicide celebrities wouldn't do awful things
because their life would be perfect so something that I try to do with my
channel I try to have you look at these these situations in pop culture in a
different like realize that popularity and money
do not equal the great thing like I hope the best for Danny common right I hope
the best but if you look at reality for what it is a lot of people who get
pregnant at that age and have a child their life is a big unnecessary struggle
alright and just for a lot of reasons and like I'm not I'm not saying that
everybody's life is gonna be terrible for a lot of people it just causes them
to grow up a lot faster it causes them to have responsibility but there are
also other issues that come along with it and like that could be a whole nother
video about you know the social issues when it comes to you know finding a job
pursuing your career the other issues that you have but part of being a parent
is also about mentorship right like part of being a parent is your responsibility
to pass on your knowledge or wisdom the things that you have learned from down
to your child so one of the one of the concerns with
teen pregnancy is you don't have that much life experience to pass that
knowledge on to a child right you are a kid raising a kid you see what I mean
but if you want to get down to the science of it the neurological science
of it young people don't have a fully developed brain yet either like the the
prefrontal cortex what separates us from like wild animals or even domesticated
animals like dogs and cats is our prefrontal cortex which doesn't fully
develop until your 20s okay so like think about that for a second so the
decisions like okay Danny cone she hasn't she has a child let's say she's
16 years old I don't know when her birthday yes that
child is going to be 4 or 5 years old by the time that Danny is even 21
all right studies show that the prefrontal cortex doesn't develop until
you're your late 20s that child will be almost 10 years old and Danny Cohen will
still not have a fully developed brain yes she is parenting another human being
so this is just these are just things that I want you to think about by
anyways like the main concern I have is the influence
that all of us had and for all of you watching I know I don't have a lot of
teenagers who watch my videos but you as adults like think about that think about
who you idolize and think about the reasons why you idolize them that's what
I'm trying to do with my channel most of the time it's like just having you think
just a little bit harder and saying why do I analyze this person is it based on
my certain virtues and characteristics they have or is it based on money in
popularity you know what I mean but anyways that's all I got for this video
