Parenting styles may differ…

Today, it was my first day at my new high school. I put on a tiny bit of makeup, just some mascara, to feel more confident. I got in the car and my mom started yelling about how horrible my makeup is, basically calls me a slut for wearing it, and makes me take it off. I ended up crying in the bathroom on my first day.

Today, I was yelled at by multiple people at work for not wearing any makeup. The only reason I don’t wear makeup is because my mom is guaranteed to make me cry before I leave the house every morning, so there’s no point. FML

Today, all of my friends and teachers asked me what was wrong because I looked sad and tired. One kid even said that I looked like "an abused housewife the day after." I was fine. It was the first time I went to school without wearing any makeup. FML

Today, I was taking the subway to school. I was applying some makeup when I noticed a little boy watching me. When I was finished I heard him whisper to his mom, "I thought make up was supposed to make you pretty." FML

Today, I helped out with makeup at my daughter's high school play. As one girl walked past, I told her that she'd smudged pink lipstick all up the side of her face. Turns out it was a birthmark. She cried in the dressing room for half an hour. FML

Today, I went to school without any makeup on. The guys who usually compliment me for being pretty are now calling me "The Greatest Illusion Ever". FML

Today, it was my first day back at school. My social anxiety is so bad that I couldn't even raise my hand to use the bathroom because I didn't want people to look at me. FML

Today, my mom kissed me goodbye before I went to a big job interview. I got weird looks on the way there, but I figured it was just because I look like a massive douche in formal wear. Turns out my mom had smeared lipstick all over my chin. The person who finally let me know was my interviewer. FML

Today, I was feeling unusually self-confident, so I decided to skip putting on makeup for the day. On my way to class, I passed some guys selling towels. One of them jeered, "Wanna be prettier? Buy a towel, and throw it over your face!" There goes my self-confidence. FML

Today, after spending a lazy day at home, I went to UPS with my mom to help her pick up a package. While in line, she sent me back to the car because I'm, "an embarrassment to be around" when I'm not wearing makeup. FML

Hey my dear. I’m so sorry your mom said that to you. I think that she is misplacing her anger and potentially past traumas onto you. The word **** is outdated and I don’t feel really exists as woman have the right to be sexual. However make up and clothes don’t make you a “****”. No one not even a parent should ever speak to a child like that. I hope you are able to mentally protect yourself from that behaviour. High school is a very fun and challenging time of life and I hope you make some amazing and supportive friends! Sending you positive vibes. (Also sneak mascara to school and baby wipes to wipe it off haha) that’s what me and my girlfriend used to do!

My mom ruined more than one school day for me before it even started with yelling at me about stupid shit. iv cried in the school bathroom in 1st period more than once. I do hope your mom stops being shitty, but if not just do everything to get your ducks in a row and get the **** out as soon as you turn 18. But don't listen to her, mascara and cloths are not things that make you a ****. **** is a bs term to try to shame ppl where there shouldn't be shame. do you and do what you need to to survive high school and having a crap mom.
