With girls as young as six now asking to wear make-up, are children being placed under too much pressure to grow up?
Youngsters are being “force matured” by whatever means, and aren’t being given the chance to be kids.

Dipping into mum’s make-up bag is a bit of fun.
Andrew Clubb, Ellon
Children are not being allowed to have a childhood nowadays.
Liz Kelly, Glasgow
It’s normal for small children to want to try their mum’s make-up, but horrifying that a child aged six should think they are ugly or are being bullied.
Margaret Gibb, Fife
There is no problem with young girls playing with their mum’s make-up as long as it’s at home.
Jean-Claude Huntzinger, Lochgelly
Nowadays, parents are obsessed with looking good and that applies to offspring as well. Reality and talent shows don’t help.
Paul Strathdee, Glasgow
Girls have always tried their mum’s make-up. This has been going on forever and there is no harm in it.
Joan Fordyce, Forfar
Pressure on young girls is robbing them of their childhood. You can’t turn the clock back – you only have one childhood.
Allison Scotland, Roxburghshire
Making young girls up to look older than they are is not good.
Anne Fletcher, Darlington
Young girls have always used make-up as a plaything. It’s nothing to do with pressure from social media or anything else considered sinister.
Graham D’Arcy, Glasgow
It’s a rite of passage.
