This will be the whole "start from younger and work my way up" type, deal. So here we go.
When I was in grade 6, I was a lunch monitor for a grade 4 class. It was hell for an 11 year old. I had just recently switched school, only had one friend and zero self-confidence. Making the mistake of signing up to be a lunch monitor for term 1 did not help me. The kids did not listen, but I didn't even care about that. What bothered me was how every single one of the girls wore thick layers of eye shadow and mascara. Every day I had to see them try so hard to look grown up, when I was just trying to be a kid for as long as I could.
There is no need for girls that age to wear makeup! I know that most of it is due to curiosity. They see older girls wearing makeup, and they just want to be like them. It is understandable, when I was in grade 4 I was curious about shaving, so I shaved my legs, but my mom stopped me. She told me that when I was older, I'd have my entire life to do that, but I need to be a kid as long as I can. I just wish that those girls mom's would say that to them, they need to be kids now, because they will never get those days back.
Now on to the age where I can get mad, and swear. Girls my age. Fuck, we are 13, there is absolutely no need for us to have packs and packs of makeup on. I know that a lot of girl at my age are insecure and makeup makes them feel better, which is understandable. Even I wear makeup, but I wear a light brown, that you can barely see because it blends in so well, and I just wear a thin layer with a little bit of mascara.

And oooohhh shit! If you wear a lot of - subtle - makeup, that's okay, I don't care. But FUCK YOU if you put a picture on Facebook with you wearing no makeup, and tell every one you are wearing no makeup! Do you want like a fucking award or something for not looking like a whore for the day?!


It just makes me sad to see all these pretty girls/women wearing all these products so they can be a barbie doll. They don't fucking need it, and hey girls, if you are reading this and do any of these things, stop! You look fake and the opposite of pretty.
I absolutely agree! girls are wearing makeup at a younger and younger age.. its ridiculous!

ReplyDeleteThere is so much pressure on girls to look "pretty", or what kid society says is "pretty" - why these girls are afraid of being kids, I'll never know. Too much TV, probably.
Here in Ireland, Communion season is coming up - every 7 year old in the country is in competition to be the most tanned, beautiful and glamorous and it's inspiring a state of madness in me...
Thanks for such a good post!
exactly. many young girls these days are wearing too much make up that they almost look like Joker. hahaa :p
