5 Tips for Underage Cosplayers | Cosplay Tips

"Tips for underage cosplayers" Me someone who doesn't cosplay: I N T E R E S T I N G

"As a 13-14 year old, you are growing at such a quick pace" Me, now 17 who hasn't grown since middle school: Damn really

"Don't cosplay from media 18+" 10 year old Danganronpa fans: 🏃‍♀️💨

"When you're a teenager you're growing a lot." Me, a 4'9 teenager who hasn't grown in years: 👁👄👁

Having an "uninterested adult" (read, uninterested in the convention not uninterested in your care) is the best kind of chaperone. They won't be distracted by the costumes and the glamour and the amazing convention-ness that is a convention; they'll be able to see the threats coming long before you will.

A lot of excellent advice, not just for underage coplayers, but for everyone.

Me, a 12 year old who isn’t allowed to cosplay: interesting

Here’s a tip that sorta falls into tip #2 of the video(don’t cosplay characters from mature themes) is DONT cosplay characters with super revealing outfits. I’m 12 and love to cosplay Candace from Genshin impact, but her out fit is quite revealing for a 12 year old to wear, thus I wear a deep blue or purple shirt with underneath my top.

Tips for any cosplayer: Just because you're in cosplay doesn't mean people are allowed to touch you <3

Such a terrible year to start cosplaying!!😭

Tip you are legally aloud to carry around hair spray and it has the same affects as pepper spay, if you are going to a place that you may or may not be put into an uncomfortable position go to a store and get a mini hair spray. Its not expensive and it could save you from a not so good situation. Stay safe and have fun!❤ Edit: Someone has brought to my attention I forgot to mention if you are thinking of using self defence methods and or items you always have to consider further consequences, and think about ways you can avoid the situation altogether or find non violent ways to deal with the problem.

I remember this thing my friend told me about her first convention, she was about 13 and she was cosplaying as Uraraka from MHA, and then this 15-16 year old dude dressed as Dabi (I think) started hiting on her. It made her uncomfortable but the dude didn't back off, she said that some older cosplayer came to her rescue and got the other dude to go away

“Trusted adult” our friend who turns 18 this year 🥲👍

"Trusted adult" The 18 year old in my cosplay Discord who would protect us with her life= 😃

Hey! I was confused about this for a bit so in case anyone else is, here: If your a minor you CAN cosplay a character that’s an adult if it’s an appropriate character. For example, let’s take mha: You shouldn’t cosplay midnight, because of her costume, but hawks would be fine. :) hope this helped!
