The 15-year-old daughter of former Hollywood couple Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner recently debuted a pink buzz cut, igniting a spectrum of reactions on social media. The change was revealed during a family outing in West Hollywood this past weekend.

Others expressed concerns about youth trends, with remarks such as, "They are destroying the youth in society today. Unfortunately, the parents are allowing it to happen." Some comments, however, celebrated this phase of exploration, stating, "Totally normal youth behavior. Just deal," and "I love her hair!"

Although Seraphina, whose doting parents revealed her lovely name to media outlets seven days after she was born, has garnered significant traction online, she does not have a social media account. This decision was previously discussed by Seraphina Affleck's mom, Garner, who has kept her children off of social media.
Last year, Garner shared a conversation she had with her children — Seraphina, Violet, and Samuel. The "13 Going on 30" star divulged, "I just said to my kids, 'Show me the articles that prove that social media is good for teenagers, and then we'll have that conversation.'"

Garner went on to say that so far, her eldest daughter, Violet, has been appreciative of her mom's decision not to allow them on social media. As a mother of two daughters in their teens and a son on the verge of teenagehood, the loving mom understands how "hard" it is "to be an adolescent."
As far as how Violet, Seraphina, and Samuel's doting dad feels about social media, the "Air" talent previously expressed, "I got to a place where [the public perception] was so different from who I am that I just stopped reading and stopped caring."

However, Ben also spoke about the difficulty he experiences as his children get older and get more exposed to the internet. He specifically mentioned the false rhetoric that he is miserable based on pictures of his facial expressions.
