Today, when one of my 8th grade students touched up her makeup in class, I told her she didn't need makeup to be beautiful. She just looked at me with sad eyes and said, "You should see me without makeup. It’s not pretty." I can't believe what society has done to the poor 13 year old. MMT

If I don't wear make up, I legitimately look like I'm ill. I was born (and cursed) with terrible undereye bags. Every picture of me as a child looks like I hadn't slept in days. The day that I learned how to do my make up changed my life. Other than the undereye circles, I'm actually fairly attractive. I still look tired, but at least people don't try to send me home from school (or work now, I guess) because I look like I need to go sleep... So I guess what I'm saying is, I WISH someone had taught me how to wear makeup as a child. My self esteem would be much high without years of falsely thinking I'm ugly just because I look like I have the flu or something.
