Kids Are Getting Way Too Sexy Way Too Young

   

*In the original article published by Focus on the Family, it was reported that young girls and boys are being oversexualized by simple images and sex fused media.

American girls are increasingly being fed a steady diet of products and images that pressure them to be sexy. From clothing to cartoons, choreography to commercials, the emphasis on sexuality undercuts parents’ efforts to instill purity in their daughters.

The American Psychological Association (APA) warns that this sexualization of girls is harmful to their self-image and healthy development. “[Girls are] experiencing teen pressures at younger and younger ages. However, they are not able to deal with these issues because their cognitive development is out of sync with their social, emotional and sexual development,” the APA reported.

The proliferation of sexual images also undermines a girl’s confidence in her own body. In fact, research links sexualization with three of the most common mental health problems diagnosed in girls and women — eating disorders, low self-esteem and depression.

Let’s take a closer look at some of the cultural influences bombarding our daughters.

And WTF do they even “make” hallter tops, thongs,tight as-s jeans,and WOMEN styled dresses IN kids sizes, aaaaanyway!!!??? Then mofo’s “wonder whyyyy” molestation has risen so GD high!!?? See?…”if you make it, they will come” doesn t only pertain to….a fkn baseball field. The society has ALWAYS need and had the governing parties guidance,, tand “that” kept the society from “being” f….fkd up! But “now”… the only important thing is getting…..money!! & it doesn’t matter “how” you get it!! Be a fkn disgrace to your parents, bad example OF a human, so the MOST fkd up shyt like ( kill a child!!, wink!) shKe yo as-s then complIn about yo…”image”!, OR BUY yo 4-14 year old daughter some shyt you know DAMN well resembles the shyt in YO closet!!, all b/c?, you think it’s…..”cute”. Look…when that lil poledancer gets a gig? I bet yo as-s will “connect the dots”….”theeeeeeen”! Yo….peeps have to NOT join in the fkd up fun, & also hold the “system” responsible for conditioning peeps to not “be” more resilient ! And if they would inject the fkn food WITH shyt, that “fills dem lil outfits out” too GD early?, there wouldn’t even beeeee an idea to MAKE dem lol shyts!!! But?…..let me “slow down”. SMMFH!!

    Some parents think it’s cute when little girls dress like miniature prostitutes. Hell most times the mother dresses like one too lol

  6. I fault the parents (mainly the mothers)for sexing up their children. Those pee wee beauty pageants are notorious for pushing their over-the-top grown-up/made-up images of them. Now you have children (Suri Cruise and many latinas girls) teetering on heels by the time they can barely walk. I find this trend very sad and disturbing.

    Again…..the governing parties ALSO have a responsibility for what happens in our lives as well! It’s like…..expecting people to turn their TVs off, b/c of all the BS on TV! They know peeps will STILL “turn it on” and be FORCED to watch. It’s the same logic, regarding all the “fast food, pawns shops & liquors in ghettos! They force those by “subliminal suggestion” & accessibility! So….”making” these “lil hoe outfits” are yet another reflection of irresponsibility of the governing parties, and conditioning the minds of the irresponsible……parents! It’s a TWO part problem! Like…..WTF aren’t all the so called “we care about the children” groups NOT addressing the issue? Like..if drugs, movies and music can be held responsible for WTF they do?, then….why not these clothing manufactures!!??
