How Young Is Too Young? / Opening

June 6th, 2009

Edit (06/09/09)- I was going to try replying to all the comments… but it’s so tedious. I’ll just comment on some from now on, not all. I definitely plan to return all comments though :). Expect an update either Thursday/Friday…

First of all, I apologize for not meeting my own deadline. How pathetic is that?? I was unable to finish it before going to work & I did not return home ’til almost 2am this morning haha. So, I am sorry about that. It’s open now so that’s all that matters… right? I have a lot of content to add. I have the layouts coded, but I have to make screenshots and set them up for download. Hopefully within the next few days, they’ll be available. Sooo you’re probably wondering wtf has been updated?! I have added some new articles, poetry, photoline actions, and some other things. It’s not a lot though, but no worries, more will come :). Oh yes, please don’t become frantic if you see that some content isn’t here. It does NOT mean that it won’t be here. The layouts, tutorials, and PNGS will return in a few days, so please don’t fret!

Okay, now onto the actual subject of the blog… For some odd reason, I’ve been watching Keeping Up With The Kardashians. I recently saw one episode where 11-year-old Kylie Kardashian was upset that her father wouldn’t allow her to wear make up. Her mom was upset about it and I did not understand why. Perhaps it’s my raising, but I think wearing make-up at such a young age is unacceptable. Why should 11-year-olds be concerned about their appearance like that? Instead of wasting time applying make up, she should be playing with Barbies. Whatever happened to just being a kid?? I did not stop playing with my Barbies until I was 13 years old and I am proud of it haha. In the same episode, I also noticed she was wearing a push up bra… a push up bra at 11?! That’s BEYOND ridiculous. I don’t understand how parents can allow that so I was on the father’s side.

P.S.- Hostees, I’m setting up some of your websites now and will e-mail you all by tonight :D.

WTF!? Why was this child wearing a fucking push-up bra? What does she even have to “push-up” at fucking 11-years old? That’s the even bigger question. And you’re absolutely right, no one at that age should be concerned about wearing make-up or their outward appearance. I wanna raise my kids so they know that they are gorgeous and beautiful no matter what whoever else says, and that it’s your personality that matters most. At the end of the day, if you aren’t a good person, then you aren’t beautiful. Parents these days just don’t have a grip on their kids and that’s a shame. Instead of teaching them morals and values, they’re buying them cell phones and letting them wear make-up. It’s really sad. =\

Anyway, I love you and congratulations on the site finally being up!! ♥

Mimi // June 9, 2009 at 8:06 pm

I have no idea. Exactly! At that age, you shouldn’t even be worried about your appearance like that. & fyi- I miss you twin .

Steff // July 8, 2009 at 1:59 pm

That ’s exactly the same what i want to say!

Eri(starrstrukk) // July 17, 2009 at 6:19 pm

I aggree! They are just too much! A kid that age shouldnt worry about there apearence. Especially the push-up bras. What is there to push-up at that age? And, who are they trying to impress? Some 40 yr old man?

Anna // March 7, 2010 at 8:22 pm

I agree, besides the part about what’s to push up because some 11 year olds do have breast – but they should not be wearing a push-up bra.

Mila // June 6, 2009 at 5:05 pm

love the new site ^_^

i love watching keeping up with the kardasian’s and shows like that because as pathetic as this sounds, i love watching rich and sometimes famous people live lol. but i see what your saying about the 11 year old girl. im 14 and i dont wear make-up, i never wanted to when i was THAT young.

glad u got your site open, ive been waiting for a long time, thehe. youve done a good job mimi!

Mimi // June 9, 2009 at 8:09 pm

Aw, thanks hun!

I have no idea why I like watching it haha. I was randomly channel surfing and BAM, I was slightly entertained. I’m 20 & I can count on one hand the times I’ve worn make up :P.
Thanks girl!

Shukaku // June 6, 2009 at 5:15 pm

I love the new domain, Mimi! Everything looks so lovely, as expected.

Haha, to tell the truth, if I had a couple of toys and barbies at my house, I’d be playing with them NOW. No shame in my game, you know. :3

Mimi // June 9, 2009 at 8:10 pm

Thanks girl :D!

& haha, how sad! Jk. I’ll send you some of my little sister dolls .

Lauren // June 6, 2009 at 6:23 pm

Wow, that girl is crazy. I’m 12 and I don’t wear make-up or push up bras. I just started to wear training bras almost every day. My mom won’t let me wear make-up until September when I am in 8th grade, and almost 13.
I still play with dolls on a rare occassion.
Amazing new site Mimi . Just amazing.

Mimi // June 9, 2009 at 8:14 pm

& that’s the way it should be… forever!! I’m just kidding. Thanks :).

Morgan // July 6, 2009 at 12:21 pm

Yeah, I’m 12 and I do play with my dolls (a little) too. I’m aloud to wear makeup but I don’t wear push up bras. That’s ridiculous that she is doing that SO EARLY!!!!!!!!!

Liesl // June 6, 2009 at 9:26 pm

I love the new site, Yasmine! It looks absolutely amazing. Wow, you have so much poetry, and those are great articles. Keep up the awesome work.

As for that show, I think that’s the stupidest family ever and the only sane one is the father. I agree with you, that girl should be playing with Barbies instead of worrying about wearing make up and a push up bra. Wait, a push up bra?! Omg seriously, her mother is an idiot… But then again, look at her sisters… The poor girl is merely trying to follow her sisters’ example.

Mimi // June 9, 2009 at 8:16 pm

Thanks Liesl! I’ll definitely try to keep it up :). I don’t want to slack off again.

I know and that’s the problem she’s using those girls as role models. Everyone (mom & sisters) were trying to make the father seem like he was in the wrong… I was getting angry watch it .

Shellz // June 6, 2009 at 11:27 pm

You finally opened! I already told you, but it looks great! I changed your link to, btw.

I looked over the new articles, they look interesting…it’s late here (almost midnight) so I’m going to read them fully later.

Agh..some kids grow up fast as they probably hang out with people older than them or either don’t have a real mentour or person they can look up to, so they only do what they see. I don’t think it’s ever the child’s fault…it’s usually the parents.

Mimi // June 9, 2009 at 8:18 pm

Yeah, I finally opened! Thanks Shellz!

i hope someone finds them interesting :P. Let me know what you think if you ever do read ‘em

Yeah, that’s a huge problem nowadays… there’s a lack of GOOD role models… & a lot of bad parents, too.

Rebecca // June 7, 2009 at 3:08 am

I love the new site !!
Push-up bra and makeup and the age of 11 ? Oh man. Although, I don’t like barbies, i never liked them, haha. I once got a barbir doll for my birthday and i used a green glitter pen and scribbled all over its face. Haha.

Mimi // June 9, 2009 at 8:20 pm

Thanks hun!

LOL! Oh wow. How dare you deface Barbie haha. But yeah, Barbies aren’t for everyone so I understand. I was just trying to say focus on playing with toys or something rather than worrying about make up.

Catherine // June 7, 2009 at 9:28 am

Ahh I watched that episode yesterday. It’s pretty hilarious, their Mum lets them do anything, that’s why they have sex tapes and stuff out there, lols. Not that I don’t like the show/the kids xP

I actually started wearing foundation when I was 12 at first I tried to hide it from my parents, but then they realized but allowed me to.

That’s strange that she was wearing a push up bra at 11! I was wearing crop tops at 11, haha. I don’t even wear push up bra’s now and I’m 14 :/

I think she’s just influenced by her sisters XP

Mimi // June 9, 2009 at 8:21 pm

Yeah, their mom… just wow. The way she allows Khloe to talk to her?? Just ridiculous. I feelt disrespected just watching it.

& no need for the “:/” face. There’s nothing wrong with being 14 & not wearing push bras :).

& yes, that’s definitely what it is.

Kari // June 7, 2009 at 10:26 am

Congrats on opening! Everything looks awesome. I can’t wait to see everything else.

As for the show, I’ve never watched it but seriously?! That’s insane. I saw these twelve year olds on my bus wearing makeup and frankly it’s disgusting because it’s all caked on and they’ve got like twenty layers of eyeshadow and blush. I rarely even wear makeup and I’m 16 – but I think once you get to high school, it’s fine to wear makeup.

As for the push up bra..I agree w/ the first commentor..what is there to even push up? Lol. I mean when I was 11, half the kids in my school weren’t even wearing bras.

Mimi // June 9, 2009 at 8:24 pm

Thanks hun. Hopefully by the end of the week I will have added some things back.

& smh. Wow. Children are trying entirely too hard to be grown. ENJOY YOUR YOUTH, PLEASE! But yeah, I’m not much of a make-up person but i think there’s a reasonable age, but 11 is just not it.

I guess their imagination??

Jay // June 7, 2009 at 11:08 am

The new site looks amazing. When it wasn’t open on June 5th I was like “!!!” Lol but it’s all good now. I told you on divergente how much I loved the new name, as well as the french language like yourself. Looking forward to seeing you online again.

I watched that show a few times, but the youngest one wasn’t showed that much in those episodes. I’m also on the father’s side. If she is yearning to wear make-up so bad, that says she isn’t satisfied with how she looks WITH OUT it. Both of the parents should instill in here that she looks beautiful and does not need the make up. She’s just too young plane and simple. 16 Maybe is the appropriate age to start wearing make up, but even then it should be simple lip gloss or something nothing major you know?

Mimi // June 9, 2009 at 8:30 pm

Thanks Jay. Haha, when it was open on June 5th, I was like “!!!” to myself! Isn’t the French language just beautiful?

That’s what I think. I agree completely with what you’ve said so I’m not going to be redundant and repeat it all .

Sage // June 7, 2009 at 11:28 am

I don’t think that it’s appropriate either. It’s no wonder girls are going out getting pregnant at such young ages! I think that it’s alright to be conscious of their appearance but not in the sense of wearing makeup or push up bras. That’s just ridiculous.

clairessa // June 7, 2009 at 12:11 pm

oooooooooo pretty your colors make me smile. glad youre back

her mom’ s a sad excuse for one. i agree. why does an 11 care what she looks like. truthfully, i don’t like kim whatever because I don’t even know why she’s famous. all I know is that she is seemingly pushing her boobs out in every picture lol. maybe that has an effect on her little sis. :/ i mean that is ridiculous. i don’t even wear push up bras and im 19 lol!

Amber // June 7, 2009 at 12:31 pm

I think kids today try and grow up WAY to fast. I wasnt allowed to wear make up out the house until like 15 and it was such a small amount it wasn’t worth putting on at all. But an 11 year old with a push up bra? what exactly is she pushing up? That sends out a bad message.

I love the new site; the name is so creative! glad to see you back. =)

faye // June 7, 2009 at 5:28 pm

I agree completely. Go out and live instead of wasting your life trying to look pretty….a lot of people look nice without it anyway.

Sarah // June 7, 2009 at 6:02 pm

heyy, what u said about the 11 yr. old. well im 12… since march 7th.. and i wear makeup sometimes. like on parties or when i go 2 the fair. times are different. i dont wear a push-up bra;; but i dont play wit barbies… wish i stll could though. just wantes to tell u the opion of a 12 yr.old

Manda // June 7, 2009 at 6:23 pm

I’ve been wondering the same thing for a long time now. I ranted about it once.

I was in a nail salon and I noticed there was this little girl about 6-8 years old getting her nails done, planning to get her hair done, was wearing make-up, a mini-skirt, and was concerned with what she was going to be wearing at a party that night. It was absolutely ridiculous.

But nowadays it’s all about being pretty, slim, perfect all around. It’s been like that for sometime now. Girls will continue to have the need to match the so-called “perfection” of the girls that they see being models and actresses.

The world has become bent on being so perfectly shapely, beautiful in every way. I don’t go a single day without seeing at least 10 different commericals on how to lose weight and become “sexy”.

Hannah // June 8, 2009 at 2:05 am

Nice about the Barbies. I haven’t had any since I was six. Stupid Dad xD. Well, just annoying rather.

I LOVE the new site.

Dominique // June 8, 2009 at 6:29 am

My first visit to your site & might I say it is lovely over here. On to the Kardashians….Ummm, I’ve watched like one episode of that show like over a year ago I believe and I remember the little sister was playing around kicking at some guy and next thing you know he’s taking pictures of her posing, like some pin-up type crap O_O I’m agreeing with you on this. 11 is way too young to even to think about make-up, let alone a push up bra. Who grows boobs @ 11? Nevermind, scratch out that question! lol But still, she sees her sisters doing all this and she’s high influenced by it. Her mother needs to be slapped a few times for even disagreeing with the father on that one. You see how Kim ended up doing a sextape and it leaked lol The mother is to blame on this.

maddi // June 8, 2009 at 1:17 pm

hey
this is my first time visiting your site but it’s very nice! also, i totally agree with your blog — i didnt stop playing with barbies until i was 13 either haha! but i saw that episode of keeping up w/ the kardashians & i was also in shock that at such a young age she wanted to wear makeup! but i guess she’s around her three older sisters all the time…

Renee // June 8, 2009 at 7:31 pm

An 11-year-old? Thats kinda weird but truth be told I am only 13 and the 11-year-olds at my school wear make-up but it honestly looks stupid I barely wear make-up because I don’t see the point and it doesn’t look good to be such a young person caking on make-up, I’m am not even touching the push-up bra. 11-years-old make-up and push-up bras wow. Someone i trying to grow up too fast but in 7 years a lot has changed.

Kassidy! // June 8, 2009 at 7:57 pm

Okay make-up i dont have a problem with an 11-year old wearing make-up cuz when i was 11 i did to so i cant really complain but a PUSH UP BRA!!!! thats beyond rediculous!! i mean at 11 u prob dont even have boobs like wtf is wrong with these parents!!

Simone // June 8, 2009 at 9:24 pm

I totally agree with you on this 11 year old wearing make-up and the whole push up bra thing .
I think , tht all of this just goes with today’s times…kids are growing up tooo fast ! Like my sister for instance , she just turn’d nine like 2 weeks ago and she just works my nerves . But she tries
all these different things , she tries putting on make-up and just tries to hang with the big kids , but yet and still in some ways she tries and act all babyishh to try and get her way . I just don’t get it , me and my friends weren’t like this when we were little so what happened ? And plus , tht girl..she’s basically a celebrity , she sees her sisters doing these things so she just wants to do it to . But , I do think their mother is wrong .

Em // June 8, 2009 at 10:38 pm

Haha, I’ve been watching that show too, but well the only reason I watch it is because I have absolutely nothing better to do in my spare time. I just watched that episode yesterday and I totally know how you feel. I was so freaked out when i saw that she was wearing makeup at 11. I didn’t start wearing makeup until I was like sixteen. I so did not see her wearing a push up bra, but I feel like that is totally out of line too. I guess kids are growing up fast these days.

Mimi // June 9, 2009 at 8:51 pm

That’s my exact reason, too. It’s like “OMG, gotta watch this show tonight!” I just happen to come across it out of boredom. & well, they didn’t really focus too much on the push-up bra part, but if you pay attention to what she’s wearing @ the restaurant, you definitely see it. I only remembered that after reading it somewhere online.

Ran // June 9, 2009 at 1:04 am

HEEEY New site!! Hope it gets better than you expect.

I don’t watch that show. Sorry, But every 11 year old gets mad when they can’t wear make up. Rudy Huxtable got mad lol.

Kate ;D // June 9, 2009 at 2:07 am

A PUSH UP BRA? She probably has nothing to push up! Unless she’s fat and her boobs are just flab. I’ve never seen the show.
I didn’t stop playing bratz/barbies till i was 12 1/2 and I’m 14 now *blushes* xD

Aurelia // June 9, 2009 at 7:36 am

OMG OMG, Mimi got a new website! :O

I really like the name! Man, how do you guys always come with such unique domains?! I had like a week-trouble with inthecrush. I’m thinking of a new one, but I’m close to stay by my idea: create a new domain once I get married with my own name. That’s a challenge! Hahaha, probably won’t happen that soon…

11-year-olds wearing push-ups and make-up are not rare these days. It’s actually something … normal. Yep, at least here. It’s like a new fashion over here. I feel sad for those girls. They have no idea how they’ll look when they turn 20. I can already see that on one of my neighbours – she started at 14, is now 19 and without make up … Uhhh, I think I mentioned that somewhere already? :grin:

Well, take care and good luck with settling down with stuff!

David // June 9, 2009 at 10:22 am

As the proprietor of a large business that specializes in the manufacture of undergarments for prepubescents, I believe that 11 years old is an excellent age for girls to begin buying my products. In fact, why not start them younger? Bras for infants, that’s what I say!

As you know, I’m being facetious :-P. Hooray for your new site, and the name is just awesome!

“Le coeur a ses raisons que raison ne connait point”….aaaaaaah.

Mimi // June 9, 2009 at 8:49 pm

LOL! I was like who is this pervert commenting on my website, talking about manufacturing push up bras for children?!?!

But hahahaha. Yes, I realized it. I should show you all the other French domain names I came up with!

That’s my first time hearing that quote, it’s really sweet. Ah, the language of love!

David // June 9, 2009 at 10:27 am

As the proprietor of a large business that manufactures undergarments for prepubescents, I believe that 11 year olds should indeed be able to purchase my products. In fact, why not start them younger? Bras for infants, that’s what I say!

As you know, I’m being facetious :-P. Hooray for your new site, and the name is just awesome!

“Le coeur a ses raisons que raison ne connait point”….aaaaaaah.

David // June 9, 2009 at 10:29 am

Agh! Double-post! Just flay me in the town square with all the other vagabonds and rouges.

Monet // June 9, 2009 at 2:35 pm

I’m just happy to see the site on, congrats on it by the way and I can’t wait for the tutorials to be back up, I learned a lot from them.

I personally don’t watch Keeping Up with the [insert long last name here]. I don’t even think they should have a show because they do nothing with their lives, why should it be televised? Anyways I agree with you completely on both topics. At 11 you definitely shouldn’t be worrying about make up or any of that, it’s ridiculous! I just started wearing make up my senior year in high school I don’t get why kids these days are so ‘grown’. I’m glad her father was set against it and her mother’s ridiculous for not being against it. && Geez if you have no breasts then you have no breasts don’t push up what’s not there. I can’t believe her mother’s condoning a push up bra at 11.

Mimi // June 9, 2009 at 8:54 pm

Yeah, those tutorials will probably be the first things up. I also plan on doing video tutorials. Well not actual video, but it’ll record my screen, so it’s something like a video.

Haha, I completely understand and agree with what you’re saying. People get shows for anything nowadays. I’m about to go and have octuplets so I can have my own show! Anyways, yeah, it seems like her mother condones everything…

Jeffrey // June 9, 2009 at 6:53 pm

In my opinion, NO ONE should wear make up. But, since people are doing it in their 20’s and up, etc. then why not at 11? People of a higher age have no excuse in my view. And many smaller children DO actually have breasts, and if they want to, they should be able to. My view.

Mimi // June 9, 2009 at 9:04 pm

I’m curious, why do you think no one should wear make up?

At 11 years old, you shouldn’t be so preoccupied with your looks. Your concern should be elsewhere. There’s so much more I want to say, but I can’t get the words right and it’s probably because I’m tired. I doubt it’s many but there are SOME who develop early. Push-up bras were basically made for WOMEN who wanted to enhance the look of their breasts… again, at that age, you shouldn’t even be concerned about that. Push-up bras and make-up were created for women, not children & I think it was that way for a reason.

Jeffrey // June 9, 2009 at 11:54 pm

I believe in being natural is being beautiful. You are what you are, and that, in my opinion, makes you gorgeous.

At any age I don’t think there is a need to be preoccupied with your looks. Of course you should take care of yourself and be hygienic, but I don’t really find any need to wear push-ups bras or things like that.

But, since we live in a world that thinks this necessary, I think it’s fine for all age groups. Usually children have more worries than us in the love-area. (sometimes)

Mimi // June 10, 2009 at 8:04 am

Oh ok. Well, that’s basically my view as well. That’s why I don’t wear make up. But I don’t knock anyone (well aside from 11 year olds lol) down for wearing it.

Well, maybe preoccupied wasn’t the correct word but after a certain age, you definitely should look after yourself in terms of appearance and that includes the hygiene part.

I still don’t think it’s fine for all age groups… Children should be children.

Kristie // June 9, 2009 at 7:41 pm

I blame the media. It’s all the media’s fault! It actually is, ads and t.v. makes girls feel like they have to look pretty, especially at a young age because they don’t know better. And I agree, WHAT do they have to push up at 11?! Unless they’re morbidly obese or REALLY developed at 11, they shouldn’t even think about push up bras. As for makeup, I think it’s just a waste of time and money for these kids. They probably can’t even apply it, and they honestly don’t need it because it’s not like they have acne that they need concealer for. Really.

Sarah // June 10, 2009 at 1:28 am

I see no harm in make up at any age. As a kid it was always fun to wear my mother’s make up and pretend to be grown up. Obviously wearing obnoxiously applied make up in public isn’t a good idea, but plenty of people do that are grown ups. It’s a good idea to let a child know they are beautful without changing themselves, but if they wanna make themselves look like a freakin clown then let them. They’ll look back and have a good laugh.

Mimi // June 10, 2009 at 10:15 am

Kids today…I totally agree with you, they should be out there playing with their barbie dolls, not trying to look and act like they’re 18! This is ridiculous. You know something is wrong with society when 11 year old girls would rather be wearing makeup and pushup bras instead of doing…what do kids do nowadays anyways?

Sophie // June 11, 2009 at 3:44 pm

That sort of thing’s ridiculous – at my school, not even the 16 year olds are allowed to wear a scrap of make up. On weekends I barely wear any – occasionally some concealer, lip balm etc., but not much at all, and I’m 14, never mind 11. How much does an 11 year old have to push up anyway? Some of the girls in my year only started wearing bras last year anyway; vests for the win!

I don’t play with dolls any more, but I never really did anyway… I was more into drawing and reading I guess.

I love the new domain and layout – I searched for divergente because I loved reading your articles and I was bored, but found your new site instead

Becca // June 11, 2009 at 5:23 pm

Hello. (:

I’ve been to divergente a a few times, and this time I come to find your beautiful new site. I was wondering, though, if you will be putting back up your website layouts?

Becca // June 11, 2009 at 8:16 pm

Oops, my bad. Just saw where you said layouts will be back in a few days. Sorry! (:

Terrisa // June 11, 2009 at 6:10 pm

GIRL!
I totally agree…
I love watching that show for all the drama and silliness they get into!
LIKE HONESTLY THOUGH! What was Kris thinking, having that young girl wearing make-up. She can be concerned about getting pimples, SURE! Asking about what skincare regimen to use, of course. But how to apply her make-up? NO!

I definitely only got into make-up on a serious tip when I was about 17 and on a daily basis I just apply mascara, eyeliner and some lip gloss! I do the whole sha-bang when I’m going out, tryna pick up a fella! LOL

Girl in 2009, parents are making so many excuses for their children society can’t say anything to their children about anything. What’s wrong is right! It’s a dang shame though

Kendi // June 11, 2009 at 7:09 pm

ok, so I am 11, and I wear make up (not to school) and my apperence matter have you guys heard of FIRST IMPRESSIONS?
ok i am not being rude but being 11 is NOT BEING A KID your almost teenagers and I dont wear makeup every day only for pictures for my facebook (only people i know)

Kendi // June 11, 2009 at 7:11 pm

and i think the push up bra thing is rudiculous, and myself i dont wear a bra cause i havent hit puberty

Lindsey // June 12, 2009 at 5:21 pm

Yeah, I saw that episode of “Keeping of With the Kardashian” and I agree with you. I’m 13 and I haven’t been wearing makeup or wearing a push-up bra (I’m proud to be a size A haha). Kylie is probably influenced by her sister though…I would too if I were living in her house.

maggie // June 13, 2009 at 4:06 pm

wow i love your new site. the layout is awesome

Chloe // June 25, 2009 at 2:24 pm

:grin: on your comment about heeping up with the kardashians (i dat show!) i wore a push up bra at 11 too lol, but i agree with the make up one… i’m 13 and i still dont wear make-up unless i’m going out to a disco… hehe :grin: :glass: :smile: :tongue: :wink:

Ginny // July 14, 2009 at 10:03 am

I once met an 11 year old who seemed like she was at least 16, body and mind maturity wise. She was already having sex with her boyfriend, whom was something around 17 (ew), and didn’t mind telling everyone about it. She wore makeup and short cut shirts, so I guess it really depends on the person. I didn’t wear makeup until I was at least 15..
So you can’t judge someone merely by their age, since everyone matures differently and at different times. I think that parents should raise their children as they see fit, within certain boundaries, and that you can never say for certain what someone else can do..

But I agree, younger kids nowadays are definitely different than they were when I was growing up. Amazing what 9 years can do.

well if you think about it, girls have changed. they’re wannabes, they want it all. who cares if you don’t play with barbies, she never said that. she said she used to, and wow. people are mad to wear push up bras and makeup at 11 – hello, you should be more concerned about your education – it affects your whole life if you didn’t know that? the only reason why it’s insulting is because you do it yourself, and putting on make up + wearing push up bras at 11 seems kind of slutty like to me. that’s my opinion, my view.

This is offensive.

You Know I Am Eleven and I wear make-up and Bras. Me and my friends are trying to impress our crushes. I Disagree with your opinion. You could say this about 10 or 9 year olds. But 11 year olds are PreTeens. We are almost teenagers. Why does everyone have to say this about us? And I Agree that some of us have nothing to ‘push up’ at eleven. Some of us do. I have a CELL PHONE for emergencies. Not to ‘chat with my friends all day’. Cause I like to walk down to The Park. I agree the parents of some kids that let them use cell phones for no reason is unacceptable. Please Reply To This.

Well, Im 13 and I wear make-up almost everyday and have been doing so for the last few years. I stopped playing with my Barbies at like 7 ^.^ A pus up bra is a bit much but if you have something to push up you have to wear it, right ?

Nicole // August 6, 2009 at 2:16 pm

From the last comment I made, I’d like to say I have a very good education, wearing make-up will NOT stop that, I’m maintaining a high grade and I’m in top class for both ENGLISH and MATHS. I’m not a wannabe. I wear make-up to cover up spots that like it or not are a sight for sore eyes. I wear a bra because if , I would get slagged off aswell but they are a womans RIGHT. (L)

I’m twelve. I don’t want to wear make up, and I don’t want to wear bras. I just wear a tank top. But most grade five girls (that’s nine and ten year olds, guys) were wearing bras, and all the grade six – except me. I really don’t see any need for them yet. I’m young. I should keep that way. But my mother says I should wear a push-up bra.

Nice site, by the way.

I agree with you. An 11 year old shouldn’t be wearing make-up i didn’t wear it until i was a least 13 if not older. I also think that a push-up bra at 11 is way too much. I started wearing a bra when I was 10 but that was because I needed one. If you need one a simple regular like under wire bra is fine but you don’t need a push up at age 11.

I stop playing with Barbies when i was 11 :O
I am 15 and i wearing a push up not even a half year !
I think girls and boys want to be older just cuz they see on tv hot girls with hot boys . even naked girls and boys .. it’s all cuz the tv.. everything there is make for little kids believe in all the hot girls and boys .. and if ” i’ll wear a push up maybe i’ll be more hot and popular.

and about the make-up … i hate make up .. it’s make my face to be red and i think i’m allergic for make-up.. i make-up only 8 times for events.. and i was unhappy ! i was need to go for a Bar Mitzvah event about month ago .. and i put make up and befor i go i put it all down with water !

a 11 years old need to play with toys , play with firend and buy a kids clothing !

i was a cakeface when I was 11; and did start wearing it when i was that young; but tbh i wish I didnt it’s kinda hard now to go without makeup cause im too conscious of what other people will think I look like.noww; a 14-year-old cakeface.

OMG, i love that show haha. but anyway, i so agree. a push up bra at 11? i’m 14 and i JUST got one this year although i dont really need one hahah. not to be self obsorbed sorry lol. ANYWAYYY, i can understand why she was upset, because look at who she has to look up too? her sister is a model. and look at all the other women in this world? i haven’t seen many famous women leave their house without makeup. and also, there are so many adds for looks nowadays. but yeah, i agree with you. (:

In my opinion, if I had an 11-year old girl, if she puts on makeup, it would be like one coat of mascara and blush. Anyone under 13 should NOT go all Amy Winehouse or Lady Gaga. It’s just not right. I’m gonna be 15 in two weeks, so (hopefully) I won’t have to worry about that.

I agree with your opinion on make-up. I am 15 and I don’t wear make-up, yet I see many 11-13 year olds applying foundation on themselves to hind “pimples” and putting on make-up meant for an adult.

I feel that people need to learn how to look in the mirror and say “I am beautiful” and I don’t need make-up to make myself look it. I feel make-up is okay for when you are an adult (18) or for special occasions like Dances/Prom. But to be wearing make-up on a regular basis at the ages 11 is ridiculous. Many women don’t even need make-up.
