What age would you let your daughter? it for a survey?

[Stacey]

I'm a teen (18) and these aren't so much based on when I was allowed these things but what I actually think would be appropriate for my own daughter when I have one.

have a facebook account – if she wants one, as soon as she’s the minimum age

have cell phones – probably around primary school age, whenever she starts going places without me more often. She doesn’t get a contract phone until secondary school though.

wear makeup – whenever she wants to although I wouldn’t let her wear too much while still young.

jewelry – whenever she wants to except at school unless the rules say it is okay, although I wouldn’t let her wear anything too expensive to school. As for piercings, ears she can have whenever she decides she wants them, for anything else 16.

have boyfriends – whenever she feels she’s ready for it

go shopping by themselves – this will depend on how mature she is and how far she wants to go, probably around the time she starts secondary school in most cases.

have their own computers, TVs ect – as soon as I can afford to buy them for her but I will use those security things on the internet so that she doesn’t get onto any sites that aren’t appropriate.

have no bedtime – Depends, she doesn’t have to have a bed time during holidays and when it isn’t a school night but when it is a school night she will have one until leaving secondary school.

pick out their own clothes – as soon as she is old enough too, as long as it isn’t too inappropriate (for example, if I’m not letting my young child wear miniskirts and such)
