[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s really sad how the beauty industry has gotten their claws into so many young women, who really don’t need all these products at all. [/quote]

NP. Agree. I am reading this thread with interest. Everyone is shocked at OP’s daughter, but I am hearing the same from my DD.  Her friends are getting their hair colored/highlighted and yes they spend $400 on this. Nails, waxing, skin care, gym memberships. It’s a fortune to have a teen girl. I say no to hair coloring  (ridiculous), but I do hear “everyone does it!” She pays for her own nails. What a world we live in.

This is so stupid. Gym? Maybe, like YMCA or just play sports at school and run outside. I played sports in college and run outside everyday to this day.

The hair can get cut every 3-6 months. No highlights or straightening. You will ruin your hair and why not appreciate the hair you have?

Nails for events or a special treat.

Waxing to a degree but just shave your legs and pluck your eyebrows as needed.

Skincare ok to get into a normal routine but can use Burt’s bees and regular brands.

Yes, gym. Many teens go to the gym now - boys and girls. I don’t think anything is wrong with it, but in combination with all the other things - it’s a lot of trying to act like a mini adult. [/quote]

I would be thrilled if my DD wanted to go to the gym. I try, she’s not having it. [/quote]

Another parent who is very pro gym and the kids won’t go[/quote]
