Should Middle School Students Be Allowed To Wear Makeup

A 16-year-old daughter has been excluded from school, after beingness told her 'face was caked in make-upward' and that information technology was inappropriate.

Upon picking her upwards from school, her mum reportedly responded 'is that it!?' as she was shocked to see the lack of brand-up on her girl'southward face up (and looking at the photo in the commodity, she does wait relatively natural tbf).

A lot of schools seem to take strict brand-up policies, but does it really matter if student's choose to vesture make-upwards?

If it's improving conviction and non affecting studies, it seems pretty harmless.

Practice you think it'south inappropriate to wear it to school?

Depends what type of school and how much makeup.

E.grand. At a declining country school, makeup is good. Merely at a private school, no makeup is proficient.

I don't think it'southward inappropriate to wear it to schoolhouse. I think anything that would wing at work or college should be okay at school as well, at to the lowest degree for like yr 9 up. As long as students aren't beingness tardily and reporting putting makeup on every bit the reason, I don't see any issues. Perhaps they should concentrate on things like bullying and mental wellness of students a chip more, instead of wasting so much time on things like this

Schools punish students way as well harshly for things like this. I got excluded because the pockets on my trousers made them look too casual, and because I accept incredibly brusk legs (even too short for petite length), I had to have them taken upwardly and it made them look slimmer in the leg which they didn't similar. A guy in my twelvemonth wore joggers and didn't get a second look

They should be free to do equally they wish.

No it isn't. Pupils are in that location to acquire it's non a style parade. They should respect the rules or find 1 that allows pupils to wear brand-up, which is a distraction and also some other thing pupils can go competitive well-nigh.

It didn't expect excessive from the picture, but then some teens have acne which could/may cause confidence issues. I retrieve as long as it looks natural (like using concealer to cover spots) should be fine. It seems very unfair for her if she'south about to take GCSE'southward in about 5 months and she's been expelled for that.

There are 2 local high schools in my town my school was the i which didn't allow you to wear make-upward until yr ten/11 even and so you lot couldn't vesture a lot - the other school allowed year vii'south to habiliment full on foundation and other make up (if thats the correct term?) and it looked kinda featherbrained because information technology wasn't even put on correctly...

No. I never understood why schools don't allow makeup, I wore makeup to school all the time

Eyebrow game on point though, zilch wrong with that. How is that caked

Adept question.

I recall your answer to this is going to entirely depend on whether you're a student/parent or teacher. Lots of kids and their parents call back that make-upward and and then forth is entirely unrelated to learning - so long as the child is working hard and learning, then what does it matter how much slap they've got on? Talk to a instructor, and it's about creating a 'learning environment' where everyone plays by the rules and a certain standard of dress and appearance is enforced. Discipline like this, they say, feeds into an overall increase in behaviour standards and, thus, increased piece of work and productivity.

I am inclined to agree with the Teachers here. About secondary teachers are professionals, and interpret the rules somewhat flexibly. A girl who's working difficult, has a skillful attitude and proficient attendance is probably likely to be forgiven the old uniform violation regarding brand-upwardly or nails. Simply a confusing, unruly kid who comes in dressed like a streetwalker is going to get shorter shrift. Overall, it is a school, not a cocktail party, and there needs to be some restrictions on things like hair, brand-up and uniform for skillful reason.

How absolutely ridiculous. She didn't even have that much on - you run across much more on Year 7s thinking they're makeup artists or any. Just stupid.

Some people feel really insecure with a bare face that as little every bit a flake of mascara or foundation helps with. It's non "inappropriate", she's xvi. Information technology's not "disrupting studies", excluding her, yet, is.

Surely the school should exist focusing on the bigger issue here - the article mentions she had to take 2 days off school due to bullying. So...they'll exclude her for doing her eyebrows but won't assist her feel included when she is there? Priorities seem a fleck backwards if you ask me.

She'south at one of them failing state schools with a headteacher who went to an ex poly uni

At my school having hair down was banned, as was make upwardly, supposedly, just a lot of girls in my year turned upward with this tasteless, orangish foundation mask, which would run as gluey orangish sweat in PE lessons. I call up information technology one of those things where a blanket ban on the stuff isn't really necessary, merely it relies on the pupil applying it at their own discretion, making sure it'due south tasteful and subtle enough to be appropriate. I never wore makeup to schoolhouse, just in hindsight, I think a bit of concealer and a light tinted moisturiser would have done me good- I suffered desperately with acne which used to knock my confidence. I think eyeliner, eyeshadow and bright lipstick steps the mark- it's not necessary.

I call back girls should be able to wear bones make upwards to schoolhouse. During your teen years you can be really self conscious and for some girls, makeup tin act equally a security blanket. Too, with the alter in hormones, lots of secondary school kids get acne or spots for the offset fourth dimension and this tin be crippling for someone'southward confidence. Yep, if is important that your confidence isn't closely tied to the way y'all look, only sometimes this comes with age and if at that place is annihilation that can exist done to help yous through those bad-mannered years and it's not harming anyone, I don't see the issue.
All the same, I do object to brilliant lipstick or eyeshadow as that is unnecessary

In regards to the girl in the article... #eyebrowsonfleek.

They're going to wear makeup in the workplace. why non permit them do now and get it down?

I thought the photo was going to exist something more than similar what I wore to school (I wore soooo much blackness shadow and eyeliner when I was 14-16 in add-on to heavy foundation/concealer) just that's rather tame!

Absolutely for it. I was then glad when I changed schools from i that didn't allow make-upwardly to i that didn't take whatever rules about it. I absolutely hated my appearance until my late teens and wasn't comfortable leaving the business firm without wearing make-up.

Stupid determination to exclude her imho; most females in the existent world habiliment brand up and it improves confidence. There are more important things to worry well-nigh

No information technology isn't. Pupils are there to learn it's not a fashion parade. They should respect the rules or find i that allows pupils to habiliment make-upwardly, which is a distraction and also another thing pupils can go competitive about.

We should encourage the youth to take pride in their appearance, and I appreciate that in that location is a fine line, or fifty-fifty greyness expanse between vanity and presentation.

When I was younger, I'd leave of bed with thick messy bedhair and fifty-fifty afterward a shower/combing it would still exist all over the place. And so I used to gel information technology. It's an action that took me no more than 5 minutes and I wouldn't requite it any more thought. Shortly, the teachers so started to make me wash information technology out because it was labelled 'arrogant', 'vain', and 'distracting'.

Ofc they tin, just without make-up.

I don't recall many teenage girls would be comfortable with that.
