I was so excited for my grade 6 graduation that mum painted my nails and did my makeup! lol
No way would I have been allowed to get fake nails and no way will DD, the leg wax, I think it depends entirely on the individual, but unless there is thick dark hair I don't get it.

Whoa!! That's crazy!! I hate to think what will be the 'norm' (for want of a better word!) when my DD reaches Grade 6!!

I remember my Grade 6 graduation clearly... I wore a floral skort (remember those things, shorts and skirt combined?!), a white frilly top (delightful), flat shoes with white frilly socks (am I painting a pretty picture?) and my mum blow dried my bobbed hair for me. No nails (or polish) and no makeup. Oh, we also did some bush dancing.

OK, so I did graduate from Grade 6 in the late 80's but at least we were allowed to be 'kids'

[ss_storm]

yeah that is way way OTT!!

I didn't even have a year 6 graduation! But then, I went to a small school and there was only one other kid in my year

[Tinks]

I wore a pink tartan drop waisted dress lol

I remember being teased mercilessly in grade 5 because of my hairy legs and armpits, but my mum would not let me shave them. So if my daughter wants a leg wax in grade 6 (and has the hair to need it) then yes, she can have it.

Fake nails and tans I am not so keep on, because it is not something I do myself. But if these girls are just trying to recreate the look their mum has then I think it's fair enough. kids love to imitate their parents and feel grown up, I don't see the harm.

Revealing dresses I would draw the line at though, I prefer modesty on children whilst they are still young and innocent.
