People Are Sharing Their Glow Up Pics After Moving Out Of The Conservative Households That They Grew Up In

Interview
ADVERTISEMENT

There’s nothing like seeing a person gain the self-confidence and courage to be who they really are. Sometimes, it takes a big change like leaving your family home or your hometown to feel free enough to express who we always were deep inside. TikTokers are sharing their impressive personal transformations after they left their conservative households or towns, and the jaw-dropping results are inspiring others to reveal their own stories of change.

The person who popularized this latest trend is a 19-year-old TikTok user from Utah, Cherryemojigirl, whose ‘glow-up’ is very radical: the difference is like night and day. Scroll down to see some of the very best TikToker ‘glow-ups’ and let us know which ones left the biggest impression on you and why.

Bored Panda reached out to 24-year-old teacher and writer Jay Burleigh (aka jaybaebae96) who shared her glow-up video after coming out to her family and friends as queer. According to her, this was a huge turning point in embracing her identity. “I was terrified for so long of the judgment I’d face and the relationships I’d do but I finally decided that I needed to prioritize myself and accept who I am,” she said. Read on for the rest of our interview with Jay.

TikTok user Cherryemojigirl started a viral trend

She shared how she felt pressured to dress and look a certain way while living at home

However, when she moved out, she completely transformed herself

Her video got over 10.1 million views. You can watch it right here

@cherryemojigirlif you knew me in middle and high school, no you didn’t ❤️ feel free to use this audio ##gloup ##transformation♬ growing up conservative glo up – cherryemojigirl 🍒

Cherryemojigirl’s viral TikTok video got a massive amount of attention on the video-sharing platform: it got over 10.1 million views, 2.7 million likes, and 10.6k comments.

And, of course, the video got others sharing their similar stories about completely overhauling their appearance after moving out.

According to Cherryemojigirl, she wasn’t allowed to express herself through her appearance because she grew up in a conservative household. Her main issue was that how she looked in middle and high school didn’t represent the ‘real’ her; she felt pressured by her family, peers, and society to look a certain way.

After graduating, the TikToker felt that she was finally free to dress and look how she wanted to. She changed her hair, got piercings and tattoos, and got new vibrant clothes to fit her new sense of style. She barely resembles who she was just a few short years ago.

What do you think about Cherryemojigirl’s new look, dear Pandas? Which particular change stood out the most for you? Do you have any stories about your own personal transformations? Share your thoughts and opinions with all the other Pandas in the comments.

One of the people who shared their glow-up videos, Jay Burleigh, told Bored Panda about coming out as queer to her loved ones

Since coming out, Jay embraced and explored her gender fluidity. “I’d been so used to such strict expectations of what made a person a woman and what made them a man so anything in between wasn’t seen as ‘girly’ or ‘manly.’ I had to release those ideas and restructure my ideas of what made me feel more feminine and what made me feel more masculine and what just let me float in between. With this, I really learned to love myself for every piece of me.”

Jay shared some advice for anyone who’s feeling pressured by their family and friends to look and act a certain way. “It doesn’t matter how hard you try, you’ll never please everyone, but by embracing yourself the self-love you feel will overcome the judgment around you,” she said.

“Be okay with the idea that people will leave your life, learn from the lesson they left, and be bravely and beautifully you despite the hate that lives around us. It’s a long and hard journey but it’s well worth the climb,” Jay gave some motivational advice for anyone and everyone who might be struggling right now.

I raised my daughter to understand that how she behaved, how she treated others, and how hard she tried were the things that mattered. Appearance was just a matter of personal preference. She started high school with a mohawk in our very conservative small town. Nobody said a word, I'm glad to report.

Dear parents, allow your kids to express themselves while young so once they reach adulthood they don’t do a 180 on you. Quit caring so much about what Karen next door will say. They’re your kids. Let them be happy. Sincerely, one of those adults who grew up with strict parents

Why does everything need to be extreme? Parents hinder their children in developing self-esteem, children compensate with a strive for total transformation. It unlikely will make them really happier...gaining self-conscious and finding unconditional love would. At the same time, we know nothing about these people. Some may truly suffer from their childhoods, some may live a delayed puberty and some might simply like to show off.

*everything* isn't 'extreme', or nothing would be. These people are just enjoying the freedom to live and look how they want to. Some may continue their whole lives, others will go back to looking more conventional. I don't see why people get het up over this.

When I turned 18, I got my ears pierced with 2 holes in each ear. My mother found out, and she hit the roof, saying things like how I went to the 'other side' and how I was probably hanging with some local gang. I was neither, and I was always more respectful of others than she ever was. But, that goes to show you how little faith parents have in their children.

People learn these dumb rules about life that they enforce on their children and they don't even stop to question where these beliefs came from in the first place. It's like, hereditary misinformation and mental blindness.

Our society seems to postpone teenage rebellion into the next decade. It seems that 20-somethings are the new adolescents. It would be more interesting if they focused on a group 10 years older and showed how, once they got the weirdness out of their system, many of them were able to get back to reality and lead productive lives.

I think it's normal for people to change as they get older. My parents allowed me to express myself however I deemed fit, but I'm definitely not the same person I was in High School or even College. Sure many of my core values are the same, but how I dress and how I present myself have changed. Some of my likes and dislikes have changed. And hey I'm only 30, who knows how I will change over the next 10 years.

Standard here too for as many generations as we have documented. Independent people rebel when they are controlled. These people are celebrating their rebellion. Age old story and yet there are controlling folks in here clucking as if this was the first generation to do so.

I call it the "how soon they forget" syndrome. Every generation goes through phases. Remember the hippies era? That was mine. Now we are old and have teenagers of our own. Who like purple dreds and nose rings. The parents are appalled. They don't remember how it was when their parents criticized them for their Beatles hair cut, pink wide wale hip hugger dungarees and granny glasses...

Barbara Baldwin, I'm right there with you. I remember having a mother who told me I couldn't wear two different patterns (a striped shirt and a flowered skirt) because they didn't "match". I encouraged my kids to wear what they liked. And they did go to school in "non-matching" patterns. One is now an artist, one has a bunch of tattoos, and one always has hair in vibrant colors. I love that they are people that have come into their own. I'm always being surprised by their personalities, and love it. All I've ever asked is that they be kind.

I have a pretty conservative extended family (more old school center-right republican, none are into MAGA or QAnon BS) but my mom is a total progressive. I've always been happy about that, considering how many people I know who weren't as lucky, especially as teens.

I live in a conservative small town, however that has not stopped a lot of us liberal leaning people from expressing ourselves. People have to be who they feel they truly are and I think that it's awesome that these people are able to express themselves now. Self expression is one of the many things that separates us from other people. If we were all the same, life would be boring. To the people who are trans: I am so happy for you that you were able to transition and I wish you all the best in your life.

I grew up in a small town in Utah. The expectations and pressure are such that a lot of kids go a bit overboard once they escape. Some love the lifestyle, & that’s their choice. I will never understand why parents think a militant upbringing will force their kids to believe everything they do. If history has taught us anything it is that the human spirit will always seek freedom. Our kids don’t have to make the decisions we would. They don’t have to feel and love and behave in only the ways we allow. - Choose your battles parents. A happy child allowed to be themselves doesn’t equate to rebellion and fights.. that’s your misconception. A happy child is joyful, willing to cooperate, and more likely to be open to compromise. - We are not raising minions, we are raising fallible human beings with a capacity to love and embrace, or to hate and push away. It is our own actions and behaviors that will decide which direction that goes.

Some of them look pretty surly as well as putting on the heavy make up. If I was their age they would be people I would go out of the way to avoid. The one with the rainbow colours looks OK though. It could be a wig, hair paint or a permanent dye. Half the photos are of people transitioning sex.

Isn't it funny that those (myself included and others I personally know and have observed from afar) who grew up in very "liberal" households are now more conservative. Not politically, but in mindset and style.

I dont recall my kids wanting purple hair or whatever. I probably would not have made a fuss over that. But I do draw an absolute line around anything satanic. There were so many influences over my life as a child - some instituted by my parents that were definitely done to bring in my utter lifelong loyalty to dark forces. And that is why God made me a rebel. I look how I look...my mom loved to cut my hair so short that a barber could have cut it. So my hair is down to my waste and very natural and I pretty much do whatever I damn well want - with careful thought and preparation through prayer - in all aspects of my life. Now that is freedom.

All of these people appear to have been happy in their before pictures, while attempting a second childhood and desperately seeking validation in their current state. Forever young is a ruinous life philosophy that only leaves the practitioner lost, alone, and despondent. The sooner you embrace maturity, responsibility, and how your body changes during the passage of time, the sooner you are able to focus on achieving life goals, entering into a committed relationship, and ultimately a worthwhile life filled with happiness.

Not all conservative families are like this... Not even most. Just some. Mine CERTAINLY isn't like this. My dad doesn't care if I wear men's clothing, he just wants me to be me... He won't let me get a job because he wants me to focus on my studies, but he doesn't care how I express myself as long as I'm smart.

My son grew his hair long in middle school and high school, extended family didn't approve and I didn't care. We had people who thought he was our daughter he nor I cared. His dad didn't care. We have always supported him and taught him compassion and empathy for others is key. He is 26 now and is an amazing man who loves and accepts people as they are.

This is normal for most, if not all, children as they move through puberty to adulthood. Some change completely, others change inside. Some change abruptly after leaving controlling carers, other change gradually with a support system. This isn't new and will continue on forever.

Conservative houshold is a big mistake! :( I hate this "modell", kids learns nothing about the real! life, where they live in a "pretty-bubble" because of their parents. I grow up in "free". Ok, I has "jobs" at home (cleaning, washing, learning...), and we has rules, but I has so many hairstyle, haircolor (under the vacation). During 13-16 I wore just black clothes, my make-up was black too sometimes I drank alcohol (1 beer, or 1-2 coctail).... And? I'm not alkoholist, I made an education, and I work now as babysitter and petsitter.

For me the left pictures are way more down to earth and accessible. I like decentness, when it's true, not forced. Seem like normal people and well- they all look fine and happy. So what's wrong with that? What's wrong with being just a normal person like everyone else? The pictures in the right look f*****g lost and crazy to me and I would definitely avoid people like that. Like : what's it worth? I am not conservative at all, I would say, I have a pretty free mind. I just think: as if it matters! ... Come on... You can change your outlook and everything, but you'll always be the same person inside. So what's the deal? Get in peace with yourself... With your hurts and your destiny, and you won't need that.

so you assume one is not in peace with themselves if they have a certain aesthethic? Sure they looked fine and happy before but you never know what people repress inside. You say you have a free mind but you think there's something wrong with people "not being a normal person like everyone else". I think it's stupid too if you change your appearance in order to fit in with a certain crowd, but when you are at peace with yourself, and you want to have a certain look to make you a happier person, go for it. As long as you're safe and stay true to yourself.

Some of them look worse in the after photos. And most people grow out of an alternative look to have a more conventional look when they get a professional or public facing job and their employer requests they look presentable. Also when they get a mortgage, car and/or family and just don't have the money for hair dye and alternative clothes. Either wear a shirt, cardigan or jacket on your shoulders or don't wear it all. It looks slovenly wearing one off your shoulders as it looks like you got dressed in a hurry. The girl in the Mickey Mouse headband and shorts didn't exactly look frumpy then.

The real name of cherryemojigirl who started this trend is Hayley Reno. She has registered in a university but also works full time and creates content for social media. I doubt that she attends any lectures or does any studying. She also has an account on Onlyfans which means that she is involved in sex work or trying to be.

Seriously? You are accomplishing nothing, if you don't like the way these people dress then just shut up and complain to yourself. If they want to wear what they feel comfortable in, then let them. Not everyone wants to wear t shirts or whatever the heck you think is "normal" in society. Everyone has their own style and you don't have to be so negative about them.

They think by dying their hair blue and wearing black clothes and hanging outside of Blue Banana on Saturday afternoons they are superior to all those people they call basic or chavs who wear tracksuits and hang outside McDonalds or sportswear shops on Saturday afternoons. It's just clothes, hair and make up and they aren't doing anything different like getting involved in politics.

Why do they all look healthier and happier in the first picture? In the second picture they all look cynical and arrogant.

There is nothing wrong with being conservative what a fascist thing to say. How about people leave people alone and let you do you and if people don't share your opinions don't try to ruin their lives just move one grow up people get rid of cancel and pc culture forever

Hey why challenge your beliefs? why pledge to stand for something worth fighting for? Why work hard to educate yourself on social issues? why take a bold stand for a good cause? Why try to treat others better? Why volunteer to help others? WHEN.....you can change your image! REMEMBER Style over substance, Image is EVERYTHING.

I raised my daughter to understand that how she behaved, how she treated others, and how hard she tried were the things that mattered. Appearance was just a matter of personal preference. She started high school with a mohawk in our very conservative small town. Nobody said a word, I'm glad to report.

Why does everything need to be extreme? Parents hinder their children in developing self-esteem, children compensate with a strive for total transformation. It unlikely will make them really happier...gaining self-conscious and finding unconditional love would. At the same time, we know nothing about these people. Some may truly suffer from their childhoods, some may live a delayed puberty and some might simply like to show off.

When I turned 18, I got my ears pierced with 2 holes in each ear. My mother found out, and she hit the roof, saying things like how I went to the 'other side' and how I was probably hanging with some local gang. I was neither, and I was always more respectful of others than she ever was. But, that goes to show you how little faith parents have in their children.

Our society seems to postpone teenage rebellion into the next decade. It seems that 20-somethings are the new adolescents. It would be more interesting if they focused on a group 10 years older and showed how, once they got the weirdness out of their system, many of them were able to get back to reality and lead productive lives.

I think it's normal for people to change as they get older. My parents allowed me to express myself however I deemed fit, but I'm definitely not the same person I was in High School or even College. Sure many of my core values are the same, but how I dress and how I present myself have changed. Some of my likes and dislikes have changed. And hey I'm only 30, who knows how I will change over the next 10 years.

Barbara Baldwin, I'm right there with you. I remember having a mother who told me I couldn't wear two different patterns (a striped shirt and a flowered skirt) because they didn't "match". I encouraged my kids to wear what they liked. And they did go to school in "non-matching" patterns. One is now an artist, one has a bunch of tattoos, and one always has hair in vibrant colors. I love that they are people that have come into their own. I'm always being surprised by their personalities, and love it. All I've ever asked is that they be kind.

I live in a conservative small town, however that has not stopped a lot of us liberal leaning people from expressing ourselves. People have to be who they feel they truly are and I think that it's awesome that these people are able to express themselves now. Self expression is one of the many things that separates us from other people. If we were all the same, life would be boring. To the people who are trans: I am so happy for you that you were able to transition and I wish you all the best in your life.

I grew up in a small town in Utah. The expectations and pressure are such that a lot of kids go a bit overboard once they escape. Some love the lifestyle, & that’s their choice. I will never understand why parents think a militant upbringing will force their kids to believe everything they do. If history has taught us anything it is that the human spirit will always seek freedom. Our kids don’t have to make the decisions we would. They don’t have to feel and love and behave in only the ways we allow. - Choose your battles parents. A happy child allowed to be themselves doesn’t equate to rebellion and fights.. that’s your misconception. A happy child is joyful, willing to cooperate, and more likely to be open to compromise. - We are not raising minions, we are raising fallible human beings with a capacity to love and embrace, or to hate and push away. It is our own actions and behaviors that will decide which direction that goes.

I dont recall my kids wanting purple hair or whatever. I probably would not have made a fuss over that. But I do draw an absolute line around anything satanic. There were so many influences over my life as a child - some instituted by my parents that were definitely done to bring in my utter lifelong loyalty to dark forces. And that is why God made me a rebel. I look how I look...my mom loved to cut my hair so short that a barber could have cut it. So my hair is down to my waste and very natural and I pretty much do whatever I damn well want - with careful thought and preparation through prayer - in all aspects of my life. Now that is freedom.

All of these people appear to have been happy in their before pictures, while attempting a second childhood and desperately seeking validation in their current state. Forever young is a ruinous life philosophy that only leaves the practitioner lost, alone, and despondent. The sooner you embrace maturity, responsibility, and how your body changes during the passage of time, the sooner you are able to focus on achieving life goals, entering into a committed relationship, and ultimately a worthwhile life filled with happiness.

This is normal for most, if not all, children as they move through puberty to adulthood. Some change completely, others change inside. Some change abruptly after leaving controlling carers, other change gradually with a support system. This isn't new and will continue on forever.

Ok, I has "jobs" at home (cleaning, washing, learning...), and we has rules, but I has so many hairstyle, haircolor (under the vacation). During 13-16 I wore just black clothes, my make-up was black too sometimes I drank alcohol (1 beer, or 1-2 coctail).... And?

For me the left pictures are way more down to earth and accessible. I like decentness, when it's true, not forced. Seem like normal people and well- they all look fine and happy. So what's wrong with that? What's wrong with being just a normal person like everyone else? The pictures in the right look f*****g lost and crazy to me and I would definitely avoid people like that. Like : what's it worth? I am not conservative at all, I would say, I have a pretty free mind. I just think: as if it matters! ... Come on... You can change your outlook and everything, but you'll always be the same person inside. So what's the deal? Get in peace with yourself... With your hurts and your destiny, and you won't need that.

so you assume one is not in peace with themselves if they have a certain aesthethic? Sure they looked fine and happy before but you never know what people repress inside. You say you have a free mind but you think there's something wrong with people "not being a normal person like everyone else". I think it's stupid too if you change your appearance in order to fit in with a certain crowd, but when you are at peace with yourself, and you want to have a certain look to make you a happier person, go for it. As long as you're safe and stay true to yourself.

Some of them look worse in the after photos. And most people grow out of an alternative look to have a more conventional look when they get a professional or public facing job and their employer requests they look presentable. Also when they get a mortgage, car and/or family and just don't have the money for hair dye and alternative clothes. Either wear a shirt, cardigan or jacket on your shoulders or don't wear it all. It looks slovenly wearing one off your shoulders as it looks like you got dressed in a hurry. The girl in the Mickey Mouse headband and shorts didn't exactly look frumpy then.

Seriously? You are accomplishing nothing, if you don't like the way these people dress then just shut up and complain to yourself. If they want to wear what they feel comfortable in, then let them. Not everyone wants to wear t shirts or whatever the heck you think is "normal" in society. Everyone has their own style and you don't have to be so negative about them.

They think by dying their hair blue and wearing black clothes and hanging outside of Blue Banana on Saturday afternoons they are superior to all those people they call basic or chavs who wear tracksuits and hang outside McDonalds or sportswear shops on Saturday afternoons. It's just clothes, hair and make up and they aren't doing anything different like getting involved in politics.

The point isnt that they think they're superior, the point is that they're finally able to embrace who they really are without someone criticising everything they do.

Why do they all look healthier and happier in the first picture? In the second picture they all look cynical and arrogant.

So this article shows you normal people turning into freaks. Liberals are the downfall of American society.

The amount of downvoted comments on here really says something quite interesting. Seems like a lot of people have forbidden opinions. Nice 1984!

Yeah! I consider conservatism as a primitive and even, sinful thing. But to be fair-- there were nothing wrong with the previous appearances.

There is nothing wrong with being conservative what a fascist thing to say. How about people leave people alone and let you do you and if people don't share your opinions don't try to ruin their lives just move one grow up people get rid of cancel and pc culture forever

Meh, I prefer the opposite transformations. When ex-liberals change their tomboy styles and glow up to be really beautiful.

Yeah. What’s wrong with looking natural (hair not dyed some crazy color, minimal makeup, etc)?

Imho they looked better before. It's as if they want to destroy their natural beauty

So from normal looking people to unnatural modified bodies. Is that considered an improvement nowadays?

I prefer the version where they are genuinely happy and being true to themselves, but I guess I'm just less judgemental.

Hey why challenge your beliefs? why pledge to stand for something worth fighting for? Why work hard to educate yourself on social issues? why take a bold stand for a good cause? Why try to treat others better? Why volunteer to help others? WHEN.....you can change your image! REMEMBER Style over substance, Image is EVERYTHING.

When you support yourself you can do what you want. Good on the parents teaching this lesson.

Yawn, these people all look way worse now. It's sad really, looking for a dye job in place of a personality.

Some regular acting out here. Also some mental illness that will have poor outcomes later on. Either way, carry on.

If people rebel against their parents by painting their hair purple, their parents were not only conservative, but probably did not love them enough so that they would grow up feeling they are a valuable person. Happens all the time.

Hm. Ok. So that means that every person who decides to dye their gray hair wasn't loved enough either. Your logic.

Some are cool and all the power too them but the sub human failures should've never been allowed to leave home since they clearly are to r******d to do anything better even drugs or murder or hell even pedophilia is better then being to r******d to know what your sex is

Imagine if.....nothing in the biological and physiological world was as simple and straightforward as being black and white? Imagine if.....people who are different from you are still people?
