Girlz lookin good at school for guyz?

[Dwoing]

This year my lame grade seven teacher dedicated an entire afternoon to the grade seven girls to talk about "looking good at school".

She calmly explained that life wasn't all about impressing the guys in our grade. Well, all of us got pretty upset and worked up over this because we all knew that we didn't try to look good for the guys we tried to look good for us and for the girls.

When I wake up for school I want to look good. I don't know why I just do. Yet it bothered me that the teachers thought that we were "trying" to look grown up and "sexy" for the guys...

It bothered my friends and I the most because we really put a lot of effort into looking decent when we go to school. For example we will choose our outfits (mix and match so we don't were the same outfit twice in the same month). Do our hair (straighten, curl, bun, ponytail, braids, let it down, headband...etc.). Wash our faces, brush our teeth, wash our nails, lip gloss, eye lash curler etc.

We don't do it for the guys we do it for ourselves. But why do adults accuse us constantly about trying to be 17 instead of 13?

I think it's because they are afraid... and... maybe, just maybe... a little jealous !

Because your parents remember what they were like at that age.

I would not mind the teacher taking notice that much. Perhaps the teacher was afraid that that was occuring, and a healthy discussion between pupils can be a very positive force to ascertain that the focus is on the right things.

sometimes our classmates wear stuff they really should be wearing and your teacher was just concerned about that
