Imaginations captured.” [Andrea Dondolo] [50] OR 1.6 The following words of advice were given to teenagers by a judge who regularly deals with young offenders in his courtroom: “Your parents do not owe you fun. The world does not owe you an existence – you owe the world. Stop complaining and develop a backbone, not a wish list. Start acting like a responsible person.

OUR BEAUTIFUL BARBIE Taralyn is only 7 but she’s a serial winner of beauty titles. Taralyn’s parents have spent about R700 000 on her beauty regime, even investing in a tanning machine and dentures. She turns heads strutting down the catwalk, not a hair out of place and dressed to the nines. Her tiny frame, perfect make-up, manicured nails and hairdo would make many models green with envy. It’s hard to believe Taralyn Eschberger is only seven, because this little madam already has more beauty titles to her name than many professional models. “I know people will criticise us and say Taralyn is far too young and I’m making her into some sort of Barbie doll, especially with all the make-up she wears,” her mom, Traci, says. “But she loves doing it.” [Source: You magazine, March 2011] Write a letter to the editor of You magazine, expressing your reaction to the article.
