Answer

No, I don't think so. . . not really actually. YOU might think she's mean but I think the mother is trying to help. That's all.

Answer

She does not sound mean to me. But now that I've got a better understanding of what your question is asking, I think the mother is sorta being mean now.

Answer

Yes, the step mom is being mean. she has no right to base the daughter's worth on how she looks. Some people are over-critical, your value is not based on makeup. Be true to yourself, and try to feel beautiful inside and out. Hope this helps!
