My teen and young adult years were just hit and miss attempts combining what our mothers taught us and trying to mimic what we saw on TV. I don't think we looked great, but we didn't really focus on makeup anyway. Obsessively removing most of our eyebrows, yes, but makeup was done as a finishing touch to an outfit.
Nowadays I see barely teenage girls looking immaculately made up. The children of my peers are going to their end of year formals (that's like prom for yanks) and they look 25 and again, immaculate. I can't imagine the pressure to get the products, perfect their use, or the idea that you'd pay a professional to do so.
My teen years predate even YouTube. I'm glad for it honestly. In photos I look like a kid. Not a kid dressed as a woman, years before I was one.
When prisoners die due to abuse or neglect post trauma etc in these situations, what always confuses me is that the staff don't check on them purely from a risk mitigation/self preservation perspective.
Like, even if you're a screw who hates a prisoner and subjecting them to harm makes your day, you still -personally- don't want to get in the shit if something goes wrong? Doesn't just avoiding someone dying happening on your watch motivate you to make sure they don't?
I think you're busy having an argument with yourself.
... But you brought it up?

Ffs nothing is a silver bullet. It's multiple approaches that are going to help
What 14yo isn't already doing their own laundry? That's setting them up for failure/being a pain in the arse to whomever is their future partner.
But not isolated to 'career women', 'scarred by trauma from the past women' or womaniser men. Characters that just don't have kids because they don't want to. They don't need to be cool or deadbeat uncles/aunts either.
I also really really really want the idea that women will lie down and die/accept doom unless they have found out recently that they're pregnant, to stop being used. Women have a will to live without gestating another lifeform.
So many of my favourite shows and characters have been ruined by the 'oh she's pregnant' storyline. Because the writers clearly couldn't think of any other life changing or character building arc than impregnation.
Schitt's Creek manages this really well, though it is a TV show and has the time to do it.
Fair point
