They grow up so fast…

By Anonymous - 09/04/2013 20:42 - United States - Lombard

Today, I found out that my daughter has been stuffing my push-up bras and lipstick into her backpack, putting them on at school, and taking them off before she gets home. She's 9. The only reason I found out is because her teacher reported me to social services. FML

This is a very sad commentary on the ways little girls feel pressured to grow up too fast. OP, this isn't a matter for Social Services, I'm sorry you went through that- but you need to help her understand she'll be a grown up for a long time and only a kid once....Good Luck!!

What is wrong with a 3rd grade teacher who goes to social services before requesting a conference with the parent...

I would schedule a parent teacher conference ASAP. I hope SS will not give you a hard time OP

It's sad to think she acts/thinks this way at just nine years of age. Not only that but she knew it was wrong since she didn't tell you. At nine, I was the one running around in the superman cape.

When I was nine, my fun came from a bottle of glue. Hungry? Eat it. Bored? Let it dry on your hands then peel it off. How times change

Sad? Most 9 year old girls have A cup breasts and wear bras, and lipstick. I really don't understand what the problem with it is, besides the fact that her mother hadn't allowed her bras, so she felt the need to borrow one from her mother. I doubt the poor girl even knew the difference between a fashion and a push-up bra:

The teacher could've just called for a PARENT CONFERENCE. How does this situation even call for social services?

The joys of peer pressure. Poor kid. Introduce her to some good books, she won't care about other kids and their stupid opinions then^_^

I doubt this is peer pressure. At 9 years old, I wore lipstick because I liked it and I thought it was cool to have your lips a different colour than the standard reddish brown. I also wore underwire bras at age 9, I think that girl should have had her own by that point. Girls with developing breasts need to have bras available to them.

Maybe it's just her way of playing dress up. If it is than this isn't a huge deal. However if she wore those things to look attractive (possibly trying to imitate what she sees on tv) than you might have a problem.

Whew! If this is her way of playing dress up, I think she needs a few more teaparties. Unless they end in a barfight.

actually it could be dress up. kids have for generations wanted to emulate adults. they play as parents and wear their parents clothes and shoes. the only thing that has changed is that the adults no longer see thh innocence in these activities. everything is sexualising kids apparently

In my opinion, that's very stupid for a teacher to call ss over something like that..

This is just sad. Have a serious talk with your daughter, before this turns into a larger problem.

I understand talking to her about stealing, but the girl should have had her own bras by then! Unless the mother intends to take her out shopping for her own bras, she shouldn't let her child go to school without one of the mother's (preferably not a push-up one though)

Couldn't your daughter's teacher have the decency to at least talk to you first? That's really messed up of her to jump the gun so fast and report you. Hopefully everything will be sorted out.

Keep her away from the tv and Internet when at all possible.

I understand how you think that might help solve the problem, but with some children (not all), taking something from them will only make them want it more- or it might make the child resent the parent and believe that they want them to be nothing but sheltered.
