Life at school can be tough for teenagers entering the world of puberty. Unfortunately, there is never a shortage of teasing, especially about physical looks, and parents should teach their children how to defend themselves and how to continue to love themselves for what they are. In this regard, the video of a mother who waxed the eyebrows and "moustache" of her 10-year-old daughter caused an uproar. Despite criticism, this mother stated: "I only did it because they made fun of my daughter at school".

At what age do you think a girl should start waxing her hair? This is a very difficult question to answer because each case is different and every little girl will have different needs. Ashlee Pease's daughter - well known on the web thanks to her TikTok account - decided that at the age of 10, it was time to ask her mother to help her remove her "little moustache" and pluck her thick eyebrows. The reason was very simple: other kids at school were teasing her about her facial hair. Unfortunately, this is a rather common occurance among schoolmates - bullying is a phenomenon that cannot be easily curbed.

While mother Ashlee agreed to help her daughter wax at home, she also outlined her thoughts on the matter that she didn't feel it was really necessary: "Giselle has a little fuzz. All girls have a little hair on their faces," Ashlee said, referring to her her daughter's upper lip. "But she wants to wax it off, so let's do it!" she said.

Users were divided over this situation: many called Giselle's thick eyebrows "beautiful", insisting that those who tease her are only "jealous"; others did not mince words in criticizing Ashlee's decision.

In short, there were those who suffered the same type of bulling at school and believe that Ashlee was right to allow her daughter to wax; others argued that a parent should teach their child to love themselves for who they are and not be influenced by what others think.
