Charli and Dixie D’Amelio talked about being ‘more conscious’ when it comes to our social media interactions, future projects, and more in their Seventeen profile.
Teenagers endure so much pressure and stress maneuvering the complicated world of social media. But teen TikTok stars Charli and Dixie D’Amelio have some thoughtful, mature advice to offer the next generation and those who want to follow in their footsteps. “A lot of people around my age, some younger, some older, are the prime ages for most types of bullying,” 16-year-old social media sensation Charli shared in a new profile with Seventeen.
When it comes to dealing with the haters, 19-year-old Dixie takes a practical approach that employs self-care and reflection. “I have all my comments off so I don’t really get mean ones,” she told the outlet. “But I usually just make a joke out of it or ignore it, because it doesn’t matter. They don’t know who you are as a person so it’s not worth my time to argue with someone or defend myself.”

I don’t know even know what my plan is for tomorrow. I just live day by day and I’m excited for everything,” Dixie shared.
