LOL I think it's so funny for you to say times have changed. When I was 13 (16 years ago) kids I knew were dating, if you could call hanging out and having sex under the bleachers dating lol. "You don't know this generation" is the funniest thing I have heard all day, thanks for the comedy. "i mean it just seems like that because you didn't grow up until you were like out of the house and you "discovered" everything" is equally hilarious since i had boyfriends stay overnight at my house at 15 (of course my mom didn't know, she probably would've flipped), and we smoked cigarettes and did other things she definitely wouldn't have been happy about. My point is that your rant really shows no research at all was done on this topic. In 1992 when I was 15 teen pregnancy was all anyone could talk about, especially the rates for teen pregnancies between 14 -16 years old. Teen pregnancy is a topic rarely discussed in the news or in political campaigns now, since the teen pregnancy rate has been dropping. While it is true that alot of parents do like 16 as the age for girls to start wearing makeup and dating, it is equally true that most parents will let their daughters start wearing minimal makeup at 13 or so, although I have seen girls as young as 8 with makeup on. Ultimately it is up to the parent and for you to let other people get you riled up shows a weakness in yourself that you may not have examined before, such as caring too much what other people think. If you ask a question and get responses you don't like that have no merit, ignore them. If you are not fat, why get upset about people saying you could be fat? After having my kids I am fat and I don't care if people say it to my face(trust me some are rude enough). I have found that people that judge you and say mean things are usually living in a glass house and I think we all know the old saying "those that live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones". So calm yourself down, apply the makeup you and your parents have decided is ok for you, and go on your date. If anyone says anything politely smile and say Thank you no matter what it is. They may get a laugh at the time, but if you respond that way every time they will quickly learn that they cannot upset you which is usually the aim of those making rude or upsetting remarks. Good Luck

Oh noooooooooo!!! That's soooo sad........ Do you really know 7th and 8th graders that have had sex? Did you also have sex at the precious young age?? I mean, you are still at a precious young age. You're friends are still just little babies and you're still a very young girl on the verge of becoming a woman. Can't you see it from your mum's point of view?? What sort of an evil, sick, perverted maniac would have sex with 7, 8 and even 14 year olds?? The laws say they can't do that and they say that to protect young girls and boys from being exposed to explicit behaviour which you really aren't ready to emotionally deal with until at least you are 18. That it is a very important age, a lot of doors open for you when you are 18 and by then you will be a lot wiser and experienced in life. Wow!! Please don't be in such a hurry to grow up and throw away your free and easy, carefree, innocent childhood............ Being an adult pretty much sucks most of the time. We have to make sure theres always food on the table for the kids, pay the phone bill, electricity bill, mortgage, entertainment, pay t.v. and on and on and on........ Can't you see??? Probably not................ I feel so sad now. Life is sooooooooooo unfair sometimes.......... Obviously you and your little friends didn't make the choice to fool around with sex and whatever else because you have a perfect peaceful loving household, sorry I just love kids so much (I have 3- 2 boys and a girl), I positivlely think would kill the person with my bare hands who ever laid a finger on my baby daughter (7). Even my boys (9 & 7) are also perfect little gifts from heaven. My children are the reason I go on living and breathing. Hold your head up high honey, demand the best from life and eventually things will go just the way you want........ Don't do it this way......... don't give all those dirty perverted males out there just what they want!!! You are one of Gods precious little angels too and you need to look in the mirror every day and tell yourself over that you are precious and you deserve the best.............. PEACE & LOVE
............... :)

I agree with you on most points. Times are different and people are doing things younger. I don't think a 7th or 8th grader should be having sex, but It is fine for a 14 yr old to wear make-up and have a boyfriend. I figure as long as it doesn't take away from your grades or family it is okay. Sometimes older people don't realize how different times are.

well im not sure i understand the question but i see the point your trying to make and honestly i can say that since i grew up in a hispanic family and had a strict father i wasn't allowed to date until i was 18 (i had to sneak around my dad's back) and his reasoning was because at that age i will at least be able to grasp what it takes to really be in a relationship and guys that age aren't looking to be in one in the first place(with the acception of some)..im 22 now and i can really see what my dad was talking about and just because girls your age are having sex doesn't mean they're READY for it..i don't think you'll know what i mean until you get older but trust me when i say it all depends on the mentality and a lot of parents are aware of this so when you say they need to "grow up" its because they DID and they remember what it was like, and they don't want you to make mistakes..not everyone grew up the way i did but i really benefited from it..maybe the parents of the girls who are having sex and getting "fingered" should be in their kids lives a little more..i hope one day you see what i mean

I dont think theres anything wrong with a 14 y/o wearing makeup or going on dates, as long as your not having sex. Then have all the fun you want. and who said anything about neutrogena being for old people??? I am 22 and I use it all the time, make up and cleansers

Yikes!! Your post scares me....as does this generation that I am SO GLAD bot to be growing up now. Whew!!
Aside from that, I don't think there is anything wrong with teen girls wearing makeup as long as they learn to apply it correctly and don't look like marilyn manson.

I ENTIRELY disagree with you. And I'm 15, btw. Get yourself and your friends in check, because sex and dating is NOT for middle schoolers. As part of the same generation as you, our generation isn't growing up too fast--they're just growing incredibly STUPID extremely fast.
