Should teenagers be allowed to wear makeup at school?

[Anonymous]

Why, why not?

When I was at school, the school policy stated that pupils weren't allowed to wear makeup at all. If anyone had a tiny bit of makeup on, they were made to wash it off right away.

I've noticed at the same school now , pupils are allowed to wear makeup. I often see kids wearing really heavy makeup and even false eyelashes

[Frenchbrit]

My school had a minimal makeup policy but often girls would wear a little more or none at all and teachers wouldn't care too much. Aside from some teachers who were a little stupid about e. g. send girls to reception for make up remover for lip balm. Honestly, I don't think there's any harm or distraction in it and if they feel comfortable that way then why humiliate them.

a little bit of makeup is fine. some foundation, mascara, lip gloss is okay. but not 5 coats of eyeliner, bright red lipstick, and rainbow eyeshadow. no thanks. sutble and tasteful, not trashy or whorish. then again, it is just makeup. i think schools need to mind their own business and let the parents worry about their kids.

Make up is designed for sexual attraction, whether it's the primary use or not it's what it's for.
I think society as a whole would be better off with it not being worn.
Focus shouldn't really be focused on looks and modern society this tends to be the first objective.
Real and natural need to be supported more now in a fake society.

Yea ofcourse. I dont see a problem with it, should be up to the individual. But I think many school tries to enforce things to make people have less individuality so they can "keep them from being bullied"

Questionable if that ever worked.

I’m not against it, but imagine if makeup wasn’t allowed in school even for highschool students? I imagine people would be a little bit less insecure and not feel as much pressure. Because even tho people dont rlly talk about it, there’s definitely some pressure to wear makeup when your friends do

[jtg13]

Sounds like you are for not having it because you understand the negative consequences it has to those around you.

[Tiffanyrosebarbie]

When I was 13 I wore makeup to school every day and it was plastered on with my fake eye lashes nails and hoop earrings lol

[Konabeana]

Why do you care? Pupils are still people and they have a right to wearing their own accessories if it is not against school policy

[Kiera1999]

Yes, I always used to get grief for what I wore. I used to wear lots of faketan and my teacher referred to me as an "umpalumpa".

[DanOh2018]

Did you refer to her as a hag? LoL

[Kiera1999]

More a bitch hahahah

[DiscomfortZone]

Nah, they shouldn't wear makeup. You wouldn't want their mascara ruined after tearing up because of cigarette smoke, vodka, Chrystal meth, deepthroating and the rest of the things girls do by age 12 today!

[Next05]

Deepthroating sounds the best, meth 2nd, vodka 3rd, cigarette smoke 4th.

[DiscomfortZone]

If you say so :)

[foxrider77]

I think it’s fine if someone teaches them how to wear it. Just don’t let them show off their underwear or they’ll brainwash all the boy like me.

[jenn11161986]

Well it's a different generation now. They love to put make up unlike the time i'm still at school. I started wearing make up when i'm already working

[MannySimms]

You tell me...

[Next05]

Most of the girls are dressed up like that in school.

[Next05]

Its hard to not think about it in school... I dont even hear anything, i just think about that sexy look.

[MannySimms]

@Next05 I'm as old as Kelsey's nuts but I DO remember that. Hormones. Fighting it is hard but it's wise to try. Good luck man!

[Reaperbot666]

to an extend is fine. just so long as they do not coat themselves in it.

makeup is one of those things where less = more.

[mattym11]

Used to send you home when my kids were at school, said they have to look same, no one's aloud to be different as it's unfair on ones that aren't aloud or can't afford make up

[babywerewoof]

Absolutely. We should be able to wear tank tops too.

[Laozi]

Nope. They shouldn't. Schools are meant for education. Not partying or showing off. Pupils can do whatever they want outside the premises.

[Jesslangely2344]

Yes people can express themselves however they want as long as it’s respectful and not distracting

[jtg13]

Make up is fundamentally designed to distract, more correctly to attract attention. This is the purpose of make up

[pleasestopthis]

Light makeup is okay. We wore uniforms and dress code was a bit strict and heavy makeup just doesn't look appropiate.

[Next05]

Dress code should not exist..

[one1wild00]

Girls should be able to wear what ever they want. makeup and all. Guys just need to grow up and leave an ideal situation alone. View and admire and keep your big mouth shut!!!

[Gatman34]

Nope looks ugly and it makes them want to be whores

[Wewladdy]

There's no reason young women should be dolling themselves up like whores and ruining their natural beauty from a young age all at the same time.

[art84]

I remember in high school girls wearing makeup. I don't makeup should be used by teenagers until they hit high school.

[mandowood]

Don't care if they do or don't, just as long as someone taught them how, lol. How you present yourself matters.

[Aiko_E_Lara]

I don't really recommend makeups. I want to see them grow without it and society should get used to it. Wearing makeup is basically eating fruits with refined sugar on it. Is unnecessary.

[Aiko_E_Lara]

Before you complain how i'm not recommending it, women as a lot of clothing and beauty options and they should consider themselves lucky they get a lot of those unlike men. Oh and they complain about how annoying it is to put make up when it's nobody's fault they chose to do it.
