i also don’t think a child needs to hear words of wisdom and self-esteem when they’re feeling anxious about being bullied at school, especially when it is something that is so easily preventable. those words of wisdom and lessons on self-esteem and being happy with who you are, are ongoing life lessons- they don’t start at 10 and they don’t end at 13 when puberty hits.

and i REALLY don’t think waxing the upper lip will lead to a request for a boob job! that’s exaggerating the argument, frankly.

Since this is directed towards me I am answering. For you may be boob job is an extreme thing but for some flat chested teen and her parents it won’t be. Little facial hair is nothing compared to what girls who are flat chested have to endure in high school. I have seen parents allowing boob job as present to their daughters. Yes we can say it is horrible but their argument is exact same as many of you are putting forth. What good is just words of wisdom when they are ignored in particle life.
In this age both boy and girls, their bodies are changing in all sort of different ways. Some are getting taller some are developing early. As a parent you do what is best for your child and I think its better to instill values like self worth and confidence than to succumb to peer pressure.
