I only care about what my family members think of me - mostly because I want to make them feel proud of my endeavours@Christiney92
I guess you have not taken into account, the effect, if you use your full name. What you have explained, that is what you can expect. If you can't take it than I suggest to change your channel name. Give yourself a different name, like authors do.
You're still young, I do not know if you are going to the university. You know which way I go, bullies.
If you care about what others think of you. Then this is not meant for you.
if I got a comment from a random stranger I wouldn't careless
my videos aren't going to be everyone's cup of tea. Thanks for the input though 
My dad (60 years old, no computer or internet) actually gives me the most solid advice on improving my videos when I show them to him, too bad I can't show him every time.
Tell them you don't like them saying this, that it is something you love and that you want to do with your life. They have to respect that. Giving up because others don't believe in you is the worst thing you can do 
But yeah there have been times where you don't get the support you need and can sometimes even seem harsh at times. You have just take it on the chin for now and keep making them videos. Hey if they're watching it your still getting views
Dont worry just keep your head held high.HelloHi all.
After starting my YouTube channel I've been getting some negative comments from family/friends and it's been really getting me down. For example my older brother has been giving me the "you'll never *make it*" etc type comments - and it's just made me feel really angry and depressed inside - not because I believe him, because I seriously believe that if you put time and effort into something and DON'T give up you'll eventually get to where you want to be... I guess what is really upsetting me is the lack of support and belief.
Has anyone else had to deal with this? What do you suggest I do? How have you overcome it and made not bother you?
It really bothers me![]()
