How do u feel about "make-up and dressed up too old" for younger age?

Although kids do dress too old for their age these days it is much more extreme on TV than in reality.  In my neighborhood the kids look like kids.  But I do know that in most areas this is not the case.  Kids are just growing up too fast, knowing about sex and dressing provocatively at younger ages.  With all the media it's hard to protect them from this.  And if their friends are doing it, no kid wants to be different.  So a parent has to choose their battle.  Your point is well taken but I wouldn't blame the parents.  You can't force kids into anything once they're a certain age or they'll just rebel.  You have to inspire and encourage and help them to make positive choices.

I guess they think we are all young and perky. I was wondering the same thing. How about a more mature face too.

I don't think that this is too old to be attending beauty school.  i work in a salon (i have not attended school myself, however) and i know many stylists who start later in life in this career path.  I also plan on going to school as soon as i can afford it, and i turn 26 in Feb!

Well, it seems that we are a youth oriented culture. If you are not young then you are seen as a less worth person. If you say your real age and it's greater than 25, they we think you are on the down hill side of life. So telling someone their age is in a little way saying the you are becoming less of value. \n\n This is true for both men and women. But for women it even becomes a more critical issue since 'we' find a women's value, in part, in her beauty and beauty belongs to the young. If you have to say that you are over the age of 25, you begin to say you have lost your beauty and are becoming a less valued person. if you don't believe me look at the crazy number of beauty products for sale and tell me why.\n\nIt's a sad thing since we all are getting older.\n\n"If aging is not your problem it will be." Bottom warn by an older person.

I think it's outdated.  It was fine when life expectancy was thirty.  i think it's impractical to believe that people can continue to grow and mature as individuals and still love a person that they met in their teens/twenties.\nIt's great if you can do it.  I just don't think the people who have have grown very much in that time.  They've stayed stuck in their ruts and comfort zones.

well for starters...enjoy looking young while it lasts...although you just may always have a young look about you.\nI'm 29, but most ppl think I'm 22-23ish. * LOVE IT now, hated it at 18 because i looked 15! lmao not fun* \nmy husband is older too, so i understand how ya feel. as if everyone thinks your a stupid kid or something...\nto this day some of his "new" friends treat me like that till they get to know me.\n\ntry dressing a bit older, but still sexy and classy.\nleave the girly girly clothes at home when you go out, and opt for something a bit more classy. \nslacks instead of jeans\nblouses or really nice tops instead of T-shirts\nfix your hair up in something other than a ponytail.\nstick to neutral colored makeup with either smokey eyes, or bright lips *not at the same time...one or the other*\n\nbut of course....keep the jeans and T-shirts for when you and your BF spend time out together.

I think that it is absoutely okay!  Mature people have more experience (learnt from their own or other peoples' mistakes)... They can give better advise than someone of her age group

I AGREE 100%!!!  I'm over 50 & I can't believe just how OLD some of the younger participants seem to act.  Things are definately going in reverse!

That is a beautiful thing....sounds like you are living your life to the fullest, and that's all anyone can hope for.\nIn my late 30's I am still concerned w/ my appearance. I won't lie here, I still check on new wrinkles, grey hairs etc. I am not obsessed mind you, but with each passing day I realize more and more the importance w/ being who I am and not allowing myself to be overly critical of myself. I am much happier as a 30 something yr old than I ever was at any other age. \nI like to think I'm like a fine wine....only getting better w/ age!\nLIVE, LOVE, LAUGH I say!!

It is my experience, especially now that I'm a teacher, that when you're young you want to be/look older.  When you're older, you want to be/look younger.  Enjoy your youth because it only happens once.

I am sure you are the cutest thing don't be so down on your self most people don't like the way they look  think of it this way when you get older you will still look young and trust that is a plus so cheer up love your self and other will do the same .

I used to think that people over 30 were "Old" and that I wanted to die before I reached the age of 50.. But as I am now 27, I know 30 is NOT old, and 50 isn't going to be so bad! It's all in the eye of the beholder.. lol, I still tend to say "He's 33, that's too old for me!" then I realize he's not ha ha!\n\nAnd the only difference between me then and me NOW, is that I can now pay my bills in a timely manner lol! I still skate daily and hang out with pals, Dip my fingers into the icing, and play hookie & take random road trips b/c I feel like it..

Our society worships youth and beauty; many people seem to have the attitude that if you are over a certain age you have no value.  It's really sad.  Some women buy into this attitude which is why you have older women acting like teenagers.  Hopefully you won't do this when you get to be this age.

ALL WOMEN???  no not me.  when I was in high school, i did not wear make-up, nor did I give a hoot what guy liked me.  Now at 26, I take more pride in my appearance, my body could never be better, and I STILL don't wear make-up.  maybe that was your story
