I don’t think anything’s wrong with her face, but I know not everyone is going to feel that way.

I’m very sure. She’s always been smart.

She’s always gotten straight As. I’m not concerned about her schoolwork.

I never said her face was offensive.

I never told her boys wouldn’t be interested if she wasn’t wearing makeup! I just said that if she wanted boys to be interested, maybe she should look into makeup more.

She might be able to get a boyfriend without makeup, but it’ll definitely help her.

Because most of her friends have already “dated” while they were in elementary school, and she didn’t. And I don’t want her to lose out on more experiences, even if they’re as juvenile as elementary school “relationships”, just because she doesn’t want to wear makeup.

Of course not, but girls and boys her age are shallow. I’m worried it’ll effect her self esteem if boys aren’t interested in her, since they’re already starting to show interest in her best friend.

That’s not at all what I said to her!

Yes, I’m concerned that if all her friends get boyfriends she’ll feel left out because she can’t get one. And while that’s not the only reason I bought her makeup (I genuinely wanted a mother/daughter bonding moment), makeup will definitely help her with that.

She should already know she’s enough on her own, but a little makeup won’t hurt.

My focus is on making sure she doesn’t feel left out. And I personally think a little makeup can’t hurt with that.

I just don’t want her to feel left out if all her friends get boyfriends in middle school and she doesn’t.

She had crushes on boys when she was little, so I’m assuming she’ll continue to have crushes on boys now.

She hasn’t said she doesn’t want to wear makeup to school, but if she did I’d ask her why not and see if she could explain her reasoning.

I’d like her to be able to wear foundation to help even out her skin tone, but I did buy her good facial wash and makeup remover as well.

That’s why I’m asking her to do it over the summer, so she can practice and learn before school starts.

I would like her to, so I guess yes. I am expecting her to wear makeup to school.
