Children and Beauty Treatments? 
Modified By Fi  on 15/04/2008 08:31:07)

Are you a mother whose child is always begging for cosmetic surgery or do they expect you to take them for waxes and facials?

Or are you under 18 but think you're not too young to have cosmetic surgery and beauty treatments?

A national Sunday broadsheet's women's magazine is looking for mothers whose under-18 children are into beauty treatments, or to speak to any under-18s who relate to this directly.

If your under-18 is desperate to have, or already has had:

Bikini/eyebrow/leg waxing
Facials
Highlights
Cosmetic surgery (nose job, or breast augmentation, for example)
Other cosmetic treatments (laser hair removal, or skin treatment, for example)

The journalist involved  would love to hear from you (by 15 May 2008) for a sensitive, thoughtful, non-judgemental, non-sensationalising report on how fast children are growing up these days and the trend for under-18s to have cosmetic/beauty treatments.

Do you think it's normal today for pre-teens to get beauty treatments? Do you think there's too much pressure on young girls to look like unattainable celebrities?

To contact the Journalist direct go to http://www.starnow.co.uk/Jobs-Auditions/Magazines-newspapers/does_your_child_have_or_want_beauty_treatments.htm

Your comments are also welcome on the BSS forum as always!

Re: Children and Beauty Treatments? 

I think that it's ridiculous the way that children are growing up so quickly now a days. It actually makes me kind of sad. What happened to their childhood's? They don't even know how much they are missing out on. On the other hand, I do think that if a child has really bad hair problems (such as a connected eyebrow) and it makes him/her feel uncomfertable then I would allow them to take the hair off. Unfortunatly, I think that the thought of being as "gorgeous as that celebrity" or "as skinny as that model" is not something that we can censor from our kids because the media is brain washing them from a young age.

well, we cant stop our kids because they dont want to look strange among their group circle, they have to go with the trend and we should happily accept this.

Re: Children and Beauty Treatments? 

I think it really is stupid for children as young as nine and ten to be having waxes, especially the bikini line.

However, I don't think there's anything wrong with them having a facial or a manicure as a little treat from the ages ten and upwards. I had manicures every now and then when I was about twelve, and it was something I enjoyed.

My younger sister is 9 and the only time she wears make up or has fake nails on is for dance shows or competitions!
