Actress Angelina Jolie says she wants to raise her daughters in a manner that they are proud of who they are and that they carve their own individuality.

The 38-year-old raises children Maddox, 12, Pax, ten, Zahara, nine, Shiloh, seven, and five-year-old twins Knox and Vivienne with fiance and actor Brad Pitt.

Jolie said young women have too many opinions forced on them. Hence, she wants her girls to develop their own individuality, reports contactmusic.com.

"I think of my girls and I just want them to be proud of who they are and know who they are. There is so much being forced upon young people today about what they should be like.

"You see so much opinion being thrown at young people and everything they do gets sent out into the media and then gets rated. I would like for young girls to be able to find out who they each individually are and be really proud of it, no matter what comes their way," Jolie said.

The actress said that she always tries to be a better person, and can't understand people's negative opinions about her when she was young. The philanthropist even hopes that she turns into a good role model for her daughters.
