Are these kids encouraging cyber bullying and why would they open themselves up to ridicule? FOX 29’s Shawnette Wilson digs deeper into this growing and heartbreaking trend.

It's the unfortunate part of the world we live in. People basing their worth on what others think.
It's not just happening in real life though. This disturbing trend has turned into a phenomenon.
And it's blowing up online.

Can you believe this? Teens are uploading videos of themselves on social media sites like Youtube asking a world of strangers to decide whether they're pretty or ugly.

Dr. Rosalyn Pitts a child psychologist says she's concerned these videos could lead to more than hurt feelings. Dr. Pitts says parents need to monitor their kid’s online activity and have passwords to all accounts and she says these sites need to require that kids be a certain age to post.
