Millie Bobby Brown grew up in front of the cameras and obviously it didn't do him any good. The young actress, who has just celebrated her 16th birthday, shared on Instagram a two-minute video in which she looks back on those 16 years, from her childhood to instant celebrity during the broadcast of the first season of Stranger Things … and the lot of more or less flattering haters, trolls, and media coverage that go with it.
Millie Bobby Brown was just 12 years old when the Netflix series exploded and made her a star overnight.

16 has felt like a long time coming. i feel like change needs to happen for not only this generation but the next. our world needs kindness and support in order for us children to grow and succeed. the last few years haven't been easy, I'll admit that. there are moments i get frustrated from the inaccuracy, inappropriate comments, sexualization, and unnecessary insults that ultimately have resulted in pain and insecurity for me. but not ever will i be defeated. ill continue doing what i love and spreading the message in order to make change. let's focus on what needs changing and I hope this video informs you on the things that go on behind the scenes of the headlines and flashing lights. dont worry I'll always find a way to smile;) leggo 16 ♡.

However, the young actress refuses to let this aspect of her celebrity make her sink into depression and she promised to fight to remain who she is. "I will never admit defeat. I will continue to do what I love and spread my message to encourage change (…) Things have to change for this generation but also for the next, ”she added.
Millie Bobby Brown should return very soon in the next season of Stranger Things . Netflix has not yet released a release date, but has unveiled a new teaser, in which we can see (Spoiler alert) that Sheriff Hopper is not dead.
