Joana Ceddia

[Kitsunerose]

Hello, I'm new to this thread. I've been watching Joana's videos since she went viral. I can't say I'm a big fan, but I do like some of her content.

I don't get why she gives so much attention to 'hate comments' by pinning them. In the recent video she made this weekend, she mentioned some of them in the intro. She always preaches about how she's all above social media and she doesn't really care for it since she has other things to do, but this pinning hate comments thing is a tad annoying and shows that she actually does care about them. And it's normal, I think. I don't think anyone would be happy to receive a bunch of hate comments, when they're actually trying to be mean and not funny.

But constructive criticism should be acceptable, shouldn't it? Making fun of these comments and sending her stans after them is kind of childish.

Idk, I just wanted to share my thoughts. I could be wrong.

I'm sorry for any mistakes, English is not my first language.

I agree. I think pointing out comments that are extreme (as in calling her ugly and whatever else) is sort of okay assuming you don't start a witch hunt. Calling out comments that are giving you constructive criticism and not hateful in any way other than disagreeing with the majority is plain wrong.

1. She isn't humble
2. She is passive-aggressively sending the message that she does not care for feedback (unless it's positive) and isn't going to change
3. She is going through the holier-than-thou phase because she's 18
4. She said she's really shy (?) in real life which makes me think she's hyper-sensitive to negative feedback and I think she lumps hate and constructive criticism together
5. She's taking two higher maths courses, one physics and one chemistry course and she still says she has to try and stop herself from falling asleep in lectures... (this was the pirate video)

You won't see any real change until after graduation.

I hope I'm doing this reply thing right, lol

She's always in her bubble and doesn't really get out of her comfort zone nor does she seem to even want to do so. I do hope she'll change through college but it seems unlikely. She's probably just studying all day, which isn't necessarily bad, but it's not really good either. These should be her best years. She should be having fun, even if her major is really difficult. I'm around her age and I can relate a lot to her sometimes (I only have 3-4 I'm close to and I'm also close to my parents and brother). If she made an effort to actually socialise, I think it would benefit her greatly. It would also help with her actually becoming humble. She's probably so used to being praised for being a good daughter/student/swimmer/YouTube star etc that she truly can't seem to be able to handle any criticism, as it has been mentioned.

Being friends with your parents is good, but one day she'll be an adult. She will eventually, whenever she wants to or not, need to interact with others. The sooner she does it, the better it will be for her.

She definitely seemed really tired in this pirate video. Physics is a very hard major and she probably has a lot to study for.

Physics and astrophysics huhh. It will kick anybody's ass.
I don't know what you guys are worried about.
Every single person has friends. She has her swim team, and her prom friends in HS and will make new ones in College also.
Yeah she needs to try new things in college(give swimming some rest).

And c'mon guys she has taken PHYSICS hf PHYSICS and you guys expect that it will be hard for her to get independent.
She was tutoring in HS and as per the Brad Mondo makeover video she looks ok at socializing.

And Joana if you are reading this, I must tell you what already know.
Things will get complex, not the college or adult life but this YouTube thing. So, all the best.

I don’t think she has a strong social network at all. For example, if she didn’t have her parents, I don’t think she’d have people to rely on for emotional/social support.
From her swimming and prom videos, I didn’t get the impression that she was close friends with any of those people. Also, I don’t think she swims anymore.
Also, her studying physics has very little to do with growing up and becoming independent? Not sure what point you’re trying to make there. You can be good at physics (or any academic subject) and still be an emotionally stunted, dependent weirdo. I’m not saying Joana is emotionally stunted or dependent though. I think she’s just antisocial.

[Merpedy]

Yeah maybe she doesn't have a lot of friends. She gave very less screen time to her friends but Jade was her best friend for the last decade and we don't know how much she was close to others.
BUT now it's college time and college changes everyone if they want that change.

Reference to studying Physics was for this getting independent thing. Some of us are saying that it's going to be very hard for her in future as she is very dependent on her parents, except for driving I don't see her parents helping her anywhere else.

So I am saying that we don't have anything to worry about her.
Wait now I am worried about her content.

I personally still don't get the whole physics thing tbh. I know people that study similar subjects and are still dependent on their parents - studying in general isn't really connected to family/friends outside of the whole social aspect or educational help?

I don't think people here are worried, perhaps critical (not the right word maybe) of her lack of independence or social relationships which seems awfully unhealthy when you consider that she's more than close with her parents - they basically act like her only friends. And I'm only saying this and it has been discussed before because in her prom video it was clear that she wasn't super close or comfortable with her friends.

I think she's relatable but I don't see her as a particularly good role model.

So she took public transit for the first time in her newest video

[bxch]

her new video... yikes
i'm glad she recognised her parents' fears of public transport are unfounded but wow, i can't even imagine the privilege of living in a city (i don't know how long joana and her family have lived in Toronto for but I assume at least all of her adolescence?) and never going on public transport

What I think is crazy, (because I know the general area that she lives, because she isn't the best at hiding it during filming) I don't know how she has never used the TTC. It's crazy. Nothing is in walking distance which means her parents drive her everywhere!!

This is absolutely wild to me too. There is nothing within walking distance but via transit the city is very accessible.

It seems like a case of learned helplessness from her parents. I’m sure they’re well meaning but they’ve really stunted her growth in terms of being independent and capable with certain tasks. I’m not surprised she doesn’t have many close friends if she has always relied on her parents for transportation.

Especially in Toronto/GTA, kids ride the TTC alone. You’ll see kids 8-10 riding alone to school and tweens-teens are on it constantly. I’m 29 and still don’t drive in Toronto but I’ve been taking transit alone since I was 13!

I’m still confused where she actually managed to get lost because sadly our subway infrastructure is pretty limited haha

You ever wonder if she will go through an angry late puberty phase now she's in uni and will hold her parents well-meaningness against them

[seaworthy]

I found it pretty disturbing that her parents told her she would be at risk of being kidnapped/attacked if she took public transit alone. I've met/known people who are super sheltered growing up because their immigrant parents only expect their kids to devote all their time to academics and never ask their kids to help out around the house or work part-time jobs and such, but...why instill a fear/distaste for public transit of all things? That just reads very uncomfortably classist and snobby to me, especially since many public transit users in Toronto are typically lower income and speak English as a second language. Sure, sometimes you see people who are clearly suffering from mental illnesses who would shout or behave weirdly on public transit, and unprovoked verbal/physical assaults do happen occasionally (I've witnessed/experienced a handful during my 15 years in Toronto), but on the whole I think their presence doesn't pose actual, serious dangers to other passengers' safety.

Maybe they have a sensible reason such as a dangerous incident when Joana was younger, but the way she talked about it in the video made it sound like just a belief/fear that her parents held onto for apparently no good reason.

Also she really needs to start blurring/censoring road names and landmarks in her outdoor videos, if you live in Toronto and are familiar with the areas filmed at all, it is just way too obvious. She has more subscribers than the entire population of Toronto, so I think rather than warning her about taking public transit alone, reminding her to remove identifying information in her videos is probably more practical advice in the interest of her safety.

This reminded me of an American girl I recently met around Joana's age. Bit of a blog post but basically this girl said she never takes public transport due to safety fears (mainly being shot or something which is a fair but undoubtedly a bit rare, and obviously doesn't apply to Joana) and that you essentially can't for that reason alone. Someone who lived in America growing up pointed out that this was sort of dumb and was clearly more of a middle-class family being privileged thing because a lot of people are willing and safely take transport around the city.

I wouldn't be surprised if this sort of rings true for Joana. Her parents sort of seem pretentious at times.

[Delet This]

Yes but if she actually had friends she’d be able to get rides to or from swim practice with the group or tag along when they went places after or rides to school or home with them... which we’ve seen time and again was never the case. That’s actually how teens make friends or build bonds. I know that was how it worked in my school. Hell strangers who were in the same art class who were breaking out I’d say “can I ride w you?” or going to a show or party they or I ask “can we go together?” In college you ride w them or go on the bus or subway and goof around.
She said since she was in grade school they drove her home at lunch and went everywhere w her. Too sheltered and too “you’re above them” ass pats. I find it very boring and actually exhausting to be around the same people all the time. I’ve been a housewife and am close to my parents but wouldn’t want to live w them and spend every second of my free time time w them.

Brazil is not the safest place to be if you travel by yourself as a female so I understand where her mom comes from (her dad is the Canadian native)

I don't like how Joana referred to her parents as "her inferiors" either. :/

Yeah I thought it was pretty immature for her to call her parents "inferiors". But I can see why it doesn't register with her as a problem, I've known plenty of kids who grow up in households that drill into them since a young age "just focus on studying you don't need to worry about laundry/cooking/cleaning/working part-time jobs". Over time, because the kids are never expected to contribute to the household beyond taking care of themselves, they start seeing the parents/grandparents who provide these services as, well, their servants. Moving out of your parents' house for school/work is such an important step because you will start to realize pretty much immediately how much time/work it takes to be a functioning, independent adult in society beyond doing well at your studies/job.

That being said Joana is still quite young/sheltered so I hope she will realize the immaturity of this when she knows better

the 'inferiors' thing was just a joke though. it's common with teenagers nowadays to joke about that sort of thing, and i doubt she actually considers her parents inferior to her cause she gets on so well with both of them!

some people swear around their parents which can be considered rude, but it depends on the relationship you have with them. like how some people would jokingly call their friends names like freak, dork, weirdo etc. but they care about them a lot. i don't think it's a sign of disrespect, just a joke that works with their relationship

Did anyone watch her new video? It was actually kind of interesting

[Apple pie]

Yeah, I liked how she is trying to branch out to new video formats and not just the whole ‘watch me eat-watch me study’ thing... And it’s very clear she put a lot of effort into the video (I mean, she took like 3 weeks off lol)

She apparently attends The University Of York.

I thought that was common knowledge.

He father is a professor there too so it makes sense that she’d go there. In some of her videos you can see him driving her to school rather than her mom
