[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think posters here have little ability to empathize with a 6th grade girl.

According to OP, the sleepover girls took gloppy sparkle makeup and plopped it randomly all over her daughter's face.   OP said it was in splotches -- on her forehead, her cheeks, her EYES??  her chin, her hair.

They totally smeared this girl.   Putting stuff on her eyes?

Imagine for a moment someone doing this to your daughter, or to you, while you slept.

I think this is a very mean act.  I do NOT think it is the same kind of "prank" as putting someone's hand in warm water while they sleep.   Or even as putting lipstick on a boy, or writing something on someone's forehead.

When you deface someone's face like that, I think it is an act of aggression.   "I hate her and I'm going to mark up her face" is what it feels like to me.

I am guessing that the chest pains OP felt were not directly a result of seeing her daughter's face all messed up, but were the anxiety she felt from feeling like her daughter was symbolically attacked.

I agree with this and I must say it would have upset me very much. I would not have been able to sleep either. Because it is an act of hostility, and from supposed best friends, and while she slept.  Creepy. It felt like a betrayal. It was an ugly prank with mean intentions. My kids are much older, and I have seen how these meaner kids turn out -- meaner and some are a bit disturbed. BTW, the hands in the water trick, which is to make someone pee themselves, is also not very funny. [/quote]
