Comparing me to my cousin.
Today i got my senior picture proofs back and i emailed the ones i liked to my grandma. She looked at them and told my mom that i should of worn nicer shirts that showed more clevage and that i should of worn more make-up.
My cousn is the same age as me and shes getting senior pictures but her are going to be Glamour shots.
My grandma told me that i should of gotten glamour shots because they do the make-up for you.
I dont wear alot of make-up because i believe people dont need to wear it. Im nothing like my cousin shes really slutty and wears enough makeup for 10 people.
How do i tell my grandma that im not my cousin.
it hurts how she doesnt like any of my pictures.
thank you

im pretty sure your gandmom will understand just explain to her how you feel and she is your moms mom she loves you and does like your pics. tell her that you are getting older and dont need to where a bunch of makeup to look good. as long as you like how you are and what you look like it dosent matter. listen im in middle school and i dont where alot of make up alittle but not a lot. i go by what i think is right and you should too. like you 4 who you are and not what other people say u are "dont followe treds and styles start them"

hey there!
if your grandma brings it up again then just tell her straight out that you dont like being compared to your cousin because your being yourself. i know that she's your grandma but its not about her liking your pictures because its your pictures and you should love your pictures.
i have the same problem with my grandma she wants me to be just like my cousins but they are in college and im in high school. i dont want to be like them because they are really different from me. i just love the way i am and no one can tell you who you are or what you should do. hope this helps!

Mabey you looked pale in the pics.You should have blush on to make your face not pale.Anyway thats not the problem.Talk to your grandma and tell her that you like to keep it natural and that youre not your cousin.Tell her that it made you sad that she didnt like any of your pics and it makes you feel less confident

I would explain to your granmother that the pictures you took reflect that you are graduation high school and it is more about being proud of your accomplishment then skating through school and life on your looks like your cousin does. Tell her that while you cousin likes make up you want to take care of your skin so that you will be attractive more and more as you grow older as opposed to less and less. Be upfront and tell her how her comments hurt you and that you were taught by your mom that if you have nothing nice to say you say nothing at all. Comparing the 2 of you is like saying that you hate apples because they are not banannas. Makes no sense as you are an individual.

I agree completly with you-I actually don't wear any makeup and it's good that you don't either. Simply tell her you are two different people and she needs to appreciate that because you aren't going to change to satisfy her when it comes to something having nothing to do with her. Not the nicest way to word it, but she doesn't have much of a say on this topic.
