Should i let 13 year old dd wear false lashes to school?

I agree. I would ask the school to ban them.

Wow. What a dick reply

The school I work in doesn't allow make up ...year 8 is our eldest year group.
Certainly wouldn't allow false lashes ...even if the kids managed to get away with a bit of eyeliner..

If the school doesn't like it, I'm sure they will let you know, DS's school rang me up to tell me that he had nail varnish on. If the school doesn't care then I wouldn't bother about it.

You know you're probably right. All my daughter has is her autism, her ADHD, and her eyelashes.

How sad that yours has you for an example.

Mine are 16 and 18. I say let her get on with it

I'd be interested to know what age children these parents replying to this post have. The ones saying pick your battles definitely have teenagers and appreciate how things work.
Let her be, she will soon have enough of them as they are quite annoying but the more you say no and the school allow then the more likely she will go behind your back and put them on at school anyway. It's not a big deal. What are your concerns with it? If the school said no then I'd say no as it's the rule.

meh, if she’s a good student and respectful I would let her. As long as they aren’t the overly thick ones .

Yeah I probably would let her. My mum didn't really make an issue about the make up I wore as a teen and as an adult I very rarely wear it. I think of stuff like this on teens as just kids playing with looks, take some pictures and laugh together about the state they looked when they are an adult and fashions have changed.

Mine wore them to school at 13, 15 now and they only rarely put them on and not for school

I wouldn't mind, but I'd make sure I took plenty of pictures of her with eyelashes on to show her again when she's in her mid-20s.

Let's face it, we have all done stupid things to fit in at school; I grew up at the time of the 90s in which we wore bright blue eye shadow and bright pink lips. And we all looked silly as hell and our parents and teachers probably saw it.
False eyelashes are a trend just like hideously thick eyebrows were a few years ago.

The more we as parents try to suppress our teenagers' ways of expressing themselves with the little things, the more likely they will rebel in their later years. Seriously, as the parent of an older teen, I'd pick my battles, and general appearence, as long as it is within the rules of school, is not one I'd choose.

And to PP doubting schools allow it: some do. Not the many academies in which an untucked shirt can get you a detention, but the few schools with enough common sense to see that blue hair or three earrings in one ear really don't hinder a child's progress.

I am 50 now but in the eighties I went to school at 13 with purple eyeliner and mascara, heather shimmer lipstick, earrings and an armful of bangles and perfectly painted nails (often neon pink).

It didn’t distract me from my work (why on earth would it?), it didn’t result in teenage pregnancy (in fact my love of sweet valley high books meant I was holding out for love) and I went on to have a very academic and highly paid career.

let her get on with it.

No. She's 13.

God leave her alone.

Did you never do something as a teen because your peers were doing it too? Cause I bet you did.
She isn’t doing any harm.
I hate this idea of telling girls not to do things because of beauty standards. If it makes her feel good about herself to have them then let her. I bet you do at least some thing beauty related whether it be painting your nails, wearing lipstick or having your hair coloured etc.

I don't care if this breaks some weird 'you can't say that' rule they look utterly ridiculous so not for school

@TorqueWrench
how is that comparable sorry? awfully fallacious of you, can't stand all these logical fallacies on this site, just want to stir up unrelated controversies... how juvenile, you'd hope middle aged mums could have better arguments but no, always conflated logic

sorry, couldn't @ the right person, ignore

No, and if you give her this to be up in arms about hopefully she'll put all her energy into this and not try to push any further boundaries.

What….?

My DD is 13 and although she doesn’t wear them (her school does not allow it, but she also doesn’t wear them outside school), she is alive in the world, so has heard of them.

Do you have children….?

My DD attends a private school in another country. Wearing makeup is absolutely not permitted. She told me a few weeks back a girl in her class came to school with a full face of makeup - foundation, mascara, lipstick, the works - and thought she might be able to carry it off. Nope. She had to stand at the back of the classroom wiping it all off with wet wipes 😳

I'd advise your DD to leave the fake lashes for other occasions, OP.

I agree.

I wore make up from I was 11 in school, just foundation and mascara, I had bad skin so I would have really struggled with confidence had I not been allowed, and I'd have worn it regardless tbh.

If the lashes make your DD feel more confident and school allows it I'd let her wear them.

Did you seriously manage to write that utter shit with a straight face

I used to let my daughter wear them at age, it's such a tricky age and I just wanted her to be happy and fit in. I used to have to put my makeup on school as my mum was so strict. It's false eyelashes not crack

I can remember having my hair in an 80's wedge haircut with a fringe that I wore straight down to my chin on one side, I spent all day with my head to one side because I couldn't see for the fringe. I used to dye my hair with those Shaders shampoo in hair dyes so it was burgundy. A year later I was blonde, I used Sun in that you used a hairdryer with that turned your hair to straw. It's not a tattoo or piercing that she will have for life, don't sweat the small stuff, next week it will be something different.

don't see the problem tbh i did the same thing?
