Re: children and threading
Interesting.
First of all, I don’t think we can compare experiences. You’re all warriors. Moving on.
Being a teen who went to an all boys school and had a shady mexican moustache by the age of 13, I can honestly say that my life would’ve been easier if I didn’t have the tash. Saying that though by a year I just started copping it on the chin and had enough friends that it wasn’t a problem. You learn to toughen up.
Saying that, its ALOT harder for girls. Girls are meaner to other girls than boys are to other boys. Girls mature (intellectually) alot sooner than guys and so the confidence at an earlier age is more important for them. I say, have a deep talk with her and explain to her the consequences. Give her your recommendation and keep encouraging what you think, but ultimately if she wants to do it, let her. Especially if she attends an all girl school. My heart reaches out to any girl who gets bullied because of facial hair. I had a monobrow and an early moustache and it certainly isn’t fun. Guys will get used to being called “monomo” or “hairy mclary” but for a girl that stuff is scarring.
I thought guys are desperate to grow facial hair becuase it shows maturity? Like, girls wanting to grow boobs rather than hating them. Idk though, I haven’t been in puberty for the last few years.
