[quote=Anonymous]Apparently my husband got some comments from friends after I posted my 6th and 8th graders' first day of school photos in which you can see both their belly buttons (our school district did away with its dress code a few years ago since it was such a double standard). I just take an anthropological point of view . . . painting our faces, piercing our bodies, tattoos, whether breasts or belly buttons are OK in public are not . . . these are all just matters of time and geography. There's nothing inherently wrong or adult or sexy about these things; those things are in the eye of the beholder.

Now of course, we talk about how creepy people may make unwanted comments or advances, but that is never the fault of the recipient. So they know to say, "Back off, creep, I'm 11," or whatever. But thankfully nothing like this has happened yet.

So yeah, my kids have been wearing makeup as long as they'd like. They don't desire to wear anything over the top, just a little lip gloss and mascara. I don't see why it has to be a big deal.[/quote]
