Millie Bobby Brown, the young star known for her role in "Stranger Things, " has been open about the challenges of growing up in the public eye. She's had to deal with constant criticism about her appearance and how she's changed over the years. In a recent podcast, she talked about how the media often comments on how she looks older than her age. She pointed out that it's been a decade since she started acting, and of course, she's grown up. She's not the same 10-year-old they first saw.

Brown mentioned that the constant scrutiny used to bother her. She even tried to change herself to fit what others expected. But now, she's in a better place. She accepts that her accent, her face, and her style have all evolved. She's comfortable with who she is. She believes that the media needs to understand that people change and grow. She wishes that everyone could avoid the kind of harsh criticism she's faced.

Brown also shared that she's been targeted for not looking the same as she did when she started acting. She feels that people expect her to stay the same, frozen in time. She finds this kind of treatment disgusting and believes it's not okay. She wants to change this culture of harsh criticism. She thinks the media needs to learn better manners and understand that everyone makes mistakes and grows.

Brown has been promoting her new Netflix film, "The Electric State, " and used this opportunity to speak out about her experiences. She realized that she was making excuses for not speaking up earlier because she was afraid. But she decided that it was time to stand up for herself. She believes that women should speak up for themselves and not wait for the "right" time.

Brown's experiences highlight a broader issue in the media. The constant scrutiny and criticism can change how a person sees the world. It can make them focus on the bad in people and question their intentions. Brown hopes that her story can help others understand the impact of this kind of treatment. She wants to see a change in how the media treats people, especially young women.
