Nov 5, 2014 4:13 PM UTC We’ve grown accustomed, thanks to Dove, to videos in which people reveal their insecurities only discover that they’re actually beautiful just as they are. And despite their feel-good intentions, many of these videos leave viewers questioning their impact: They [reinforce](http://nymag.com/thecut/2013/04/beauty-above-all-else-doves-viral-ad-problem.html) the importance of physical beauty, some say, and sometimes lack diversity in the body types they present. A new video, “Comfortable: 50 People 1 Question,” continues the “[You Don’t Know You’re Beautiful](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QJO3ROT-A4E)” trend, although this time it’s a PSA from a non-profit rather than an advertisement masked as a PSA. (Though, to be fair, it is sponsored by a skincare company.) In the video, adults and children are asked what they would change about their bodies, if they could only change one thing. Not surprisingly, the adults answer immediately, having trouble picking just one. The kids, on the other hand, have to think a bit harder, and their answers are imaginative and uncorrupted, aiming to enhance their existing bodies with fantastical superpowers rather than dismantle the bodies they have. It’s not earth-shattering, but it’s a useful reminder to tap into that childlike positivity when you’re less than thrilled with what you see in the mirror. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/3558383/video-adults-kids-change-bodies-question/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/3558383/video-adults-kids-change-bodies-question/"},"headline":"This Is How Adults and Kids Respond to the Same Question About Changing Their Bodies","datePublished":"2014-11-05T16:13:28.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T08:56:15.415Z","description":"“Probably like a shark mouth, so I could eat a lot of stuff”","url":"https://time.com/3558383/video-adults-kids-change-bodies-question/","keywords":["Living","Body Image","beauty","dove","psa"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt3532160a21a091b5/6987643ce53aba6f154d568a/screen-shot-2014-11-05-at-11-07-58-am.png?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Eliza Berman","jobTitle":"Berman is a senior editor at TIME.","url":"https://time.com/author/eliza-berman/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt3532160a21a091b5/6987643ce53aba6f154d568a/screen-shot-2014-11-05-at-11-07-58-am.png?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"Screen Shot 2014-11-05 at 11.07.58 AM","caption":"","creditText":"YouTube","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-living/","name":"Living"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/3558383/video-adults-kids-change-bodies-question/","name":"This Is How Adults and Kids Respond to the Same Question About Changing Their Bodies"}}]}] ```
