Found an interesting article today, yesterday I thought that the main influences on our youth’s premature adult lifestyles were media, celebrities and their peers.But ha ha, this article adds another influence which I totally didn’t think of until after reading it.

The parents.

This doesn’t really happen much here in New Zealand because we don’t have that plastic lifestyle intertwined in our culture yet.But, in this article it discusses mothers taking their daughters in to get their eyebrows,upper lip and bikini lines waxed.One of the girls only being 8 years old!There are two reasons for this which you’ll read in the article but still..if 8 isn’t too young, then what is?!
