wisdom from my friend's 12-year-old

talking with one of her girlfriends:
"Well, my parents don't want me to wear make-up. But that's just them. I personally don't like make-up because it just hides your naturally beautiful face. I think I look pretty the way I am. But every once in a while I wear it, and that is when it's a special occasion. *Fact: Make-up makes your face look older once you get to a certain point of using it. Then you have to wear it....
I think that we shouldn't wear make-up this young. But, it's up to you if you want to wear make-up now.
I just hate how people don't think that they're beautiful until they put make-up on...."
