Re: children and threading
I once had the hair waxed on my upper lip part, I was 16/17, my parents were angry and accused me of doing it for ‘boys’. I did it because of the bullying, mostly by other girls. The funny thing is, because of their bullying I began looking at their own faces and noticed, they all had hair on their upper lip too. The blond girls have blond moustaches, it especially shows in light, yet they bullied me and a Turkish girl. Some Turkish children also bullied others for having moustaches btw, meanwhile, their own female family members also had them . . . Most females in the world have hair on their upper lips, arms, legs, etc. Look at them in light, you will notice. It’s sad that the females who have more visible hair on their upper lip or arms or legs are bullied.
One of the Dutch girls who used to bully me about hair on my legs, which I wasn’t allowed to shave or wax btw, also had hair on her own face. It was blond, so you only noticed it in light, she also had hair on her arms and thick blond hair on her cheeks. Yet she bullied me for having hair which was actually less than hers. I never bullied other people for having hair on their face, yet they did bully me. Even nowadays children are still bullied over this. My daughter was bullied too for the same reason, she and some of her friends.
At a small age, children, but also teenagers, have a confidence which is shattered easily, mine certainly was. I would have been happier if I had been allowed to remove hair from my legs, and wax or bleach my upper lip, not wear salwar kamiez at school, as these were all reasons I was bullied, mostly by other girls. That is strange btw, how especially girls bully each other, no male child, teenager or adult has ever bullied me or even made a nasty comment about hair on my upper lip or arm or not threading my brows, it’s always our fellow females, why? We’re supposed to help each other as we understand each other better, imho.
With age and the right kind of life experience, stronger confidence is built and then it doesn’t matter that much anymore what other people think about hair on your body. Besides, often children and teenagers are nasty towards each other and many are shallow. Many adults change and aren’t as shallow anymore and don’t bully someone for something like hair on the body, which again, all females from every country and culture have been given by nature.
I sometimes make wax at home, learnt it from various YouTube videos, it’s less expensive then buying it and it’s easier to use, for me anyway. When I do make wax, once in a while, both my daughter (17) and I wax our legs. It cleans your skin too as it’s home made and has natural ingredients. Afterwards your skin feels nice and you feel so light. That’s the only reason we remove hair from our own body nowadays.
We females should stick up for each other and help making the nasty habbits in society disappear. There are already many problems in the world, real nasty things each human being deals with in personal life, why make life more complicated with these unnecesary issues? Having natural hair on your arms, upper lip, etc. shouldn’t even be an issue. People are being killed for nothing, people are dying of hunger, people are being harrassed because of their race, religion, sexual oriëntation, you name it and it happens, these are the real issues society should be worried about and there are so many more real issues, yet in daily life, people bully others for having hair somewhere on their body. What a world.
