real story: 真人真事
one of my daughter's swimming mate, average- above looking Chinese girl,( she is the out going one) when she was thirteen years old ,once she told me that she always remember the painful things rather than happy things happened in her life,. I asked what kind of painful thing can you have? you seem quite cheerful. she said when she was 7 years old in the first grade , there was a white boy said to her :" Chinese all has tiny, squint little eyes." (exactly the words) she started to cry, the teacher gave the boy time out. she always
remember this "painful thing".
I told her she should not be bothered by this kind of comment. she can do make up , and she can take off her glasses. she said she will never take off her glasses because her eyes are too small.
when she started her 8 grade , she took off her glasses ( wearing contact lens) she starts to wear heavy make up only on the eyes.( not the eye brown, not the lip not the face) thick black eyes lines, blue eye Shadow, heavy mascara. even in the swimming training. she is the infamous Chinese girl in school for this matter( she is straight A student). I adviced her few times on make up ,she did not listen.
I have a Chinese friend who has a daughter , when she was 7 grade at a sleep over birthday party , she was told she is ugly by her white friends , they put the drink straw into her nose ,did not let her to sleep. The mother was traumatized , she was crying to me ,swearing to switch school, later she did, she sent her daughter to a small school which specialize in art and dram啊.
我 会写一些 关于化淡妆 的 帖子 in the future. As a free-lance painter and designer , my true passion is being a make-up artist. Asian girls and women need different make up than other races. For our girls ,in my opinion, middle school is time to start it. 我们的孩子们需要帮助。
