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

I do not believe it for 1 minute that false lashes fall within the school rules. Maybe they haven't cracked down on it recently.
No way i would let my 13 year old leave the house looking like that,but they have always been classy.

OP it’s not authoritarian to not allow your 13 yr old daughter to wear false lashes at school!

Very least of my worries, I would let her.

I’d just let it go, I was forbidden from doing things just waited till I left the house!

Let's hope she doesn't get her mums judgemental attitude eh?

My dd wore them, not the strip ones the wee clumps, for about a week then she got fed up of sticking them on. I purposefully sent my kids to a school that doesn't have any stupid rules about hair/piercings/makeup etc. Teens should be free to find and express themselves through their appearance if that's what they want to do. You can be bright, pretty and have an interest in fashion/your appearance. These things are not mutually exclusive and we shouldn't teach our children that they need to shrink themselves in order to be taken seriously.

Agreed. But there WILL be a large percentage of parents who won't back the school, or bother their arses to implement the changes with their own daughters.
That's the reality these days.

Not allowed in our school but to be honest it’s only the kids that are doomed to fail do it. They can’t compete academically or probably in natural looks so seek other forms of attention. My kid is bright and pretty. She doesn’t need anything else. It may make her not in the cool group now (although she has lots of friends) but long term she’ll be ok…

@JMSA not it isn't but parents should be pressuring state schools to drive up standards. I tried and failed because I was a lone voice. Others wanted to but also didn't have choices and so didn't rock the boat. If all the parents at op's dd's school wrote in, there would be change.

Me too. But it's hardly a realistic option for everyone

Yes.

@JMSA I did. There were standards.

My 14-year-old wears her false lashes to school. Never been a problem. She doesn't wear any other make up, but she loves her eyelashes.

She is my 5th teenager, I've learnt to pick my battles, and it's not a big deal. She is doing well at school, it's her body and they aren't causing any harm.

Absolutely not. My daughter wasn't allowed to wear make up like that at 13 outside school, let alone in school. I'm amazed that any school would allow this.

Haven't read all the replies and didn't go to a british school but if the school allows it what is you banning them going to achieve? If english kids are anything like the kids in my country, banning certain stuff at home that the school isn't going to pull them up on (ridiculously short skirts, excessive makeup, smoking etc, can you tell I grew up in the 90's haha) all it's going to achieve is your DD buying them in secret, smuggling them into school (either herself or asking a friend to bring them in) and then spending half the first period applying it on in the school's bathroom. Nobody failed a class due to bad makeup or false eyelashes, as long as she's doing what she needs to be doing let her be or you'll end up her doing this (and likely much worse) in secret,

She's had all that at 13?

No way is that true @Headingforholidays

Every kid at every school knows who's cool and who's not, regardless of the rules. They just do!

@JMSA 🤣

@DoorStopper

STOP! There's not enough smelling salts to go round

It doesn't end there.
Fake tan, pierced nose and bellybutton, hair straightened to within an inch of its life.....

I wore them in 1966, when I was 15, I soon got fed up of sticking them on everyday. Also I wore thick glasses, so no one could see them anyway, but they did boost my self esteem for a little while I suppose.

Looking a pillock in your teens is part of growing up, surely? I had cobalt blue mascara and that frosted lilac Boots 17 lipstick that made me look like a corpse, plus half a can of hairspray on my weird coloured hair (Glints, usually).

Apart from anything else, if I was ever told I wasn't 'allowed' to wear X, Y or Z I just took it with me and put it on at school or at my friends house, and I doubt my modus has changed that much in the last 35 years.

Your 13yr old goes to a salon for false lashes?😐
Blimey I remember being 13 and going out on my roller skates. Make up wasn't a thing till much older.

My 13 year old does, I'd rather she didn't but I figure there's worse things she could be doing.
As others have said, pick your battles OP, this is not one of them.
Also, I'm willing to bet that the majority of posters that are saying no way would they allow it don't even have a 13 yo dd so have no idea!

My daughter went to a grammar school and all the girls hitched up their skirts and looked ridiculous…great eye candy for any letch .
Same daughter is now in her 30s and horrified how awful the look is ,but grateful that I left her to get on with it !! It’s about peer pressure and fitting in .

Good God woman, you really need to try living in the real world. Or send your child to private school.
