i dont think it is apporpriate... shorts are ok... but there is no reason for these little girls going out with their sofies rolled all the way up and a little cami... i work in a clothing store and their are always 12 year old girls in the store complaining b/c the shorts they are trying one are not short or tight enough for them... so their mother brings them a size smaller... i guess these are the same moms who will be suprised when their daughters come home 15 and pregnant... its not that i believe that girls should be completely covered up but i do believe that little girls shoulddress like little girls and even though they are in middle school 12 is still a little girl and they dont have any business showing off their bodies...

Like most others here, I agree with you. All I have to do is see the nightly news or hear about the latest Amber Alert to know that a young child showing to much flesh is bad news. I can't understand how a parent looks at their child in something so tight or revealing and thinks that it looks cute. Part of it is because some parents aren't even a major part of their kid's lives anymore. They work and daily frustrations distract them so when it comes to the kids, they just let them have whatever they want. When I was young, I had freedom to go play and be with friends, but my parents almost always knew where I was, what I was doing and who I was with. If I did something wrong, they usually knew it before I got home and I got PUNISHED. That is something most kids don't have a clue about. It's sad that people think it is harmful to tell a kid no or punish for bad behavior. They aren't doing their children any favors by letting them go through childhood like that. If I had tried to leave the house in the fabric scraps some kids wear these days I would have been in so much trouble!

Well,
12 Is A Little Young But If Their Parents Let Them.. There Isnt Much Anyone Can Do About It. Since You Work In A Clothing Store Maybe Suggest That To Their Parents. ;l

"WOW we and about time I knew due to my age prob older then a lot of the young mothers in here that thought this way. I don't think little girls should be trying to be older teens or young women little girls should be little girls I also put the blame on the clothing manufacturers for making these cloths. 1 if the cloths did not come in girls sizes the girls could not wear them. 2 and parents would not feel under pressure to allow girls to wear them. with the old Mum all the girls are wearing these these days and your turning me into a social freaks for as I am the only one that can't wear these thing Nata Nata Nata on and on and on.

They say there peer pressure is bad and it is but also can teen pressure be from teen to adults that buy these things some kids sound like its the end of the earth if they don't have the have haves

I am 20 and my mom never let me do it. I remember when i went to the mall and bought my first thong I was 16 and my mom freaked. My grandma was actually the one who first bought me a two piece bathing suit. But I agree with you. I have a 14 year old stepdaughter and one day dead middle of winter she walked out of the house wearing a miny skirt and belly shirt. Her dad said nothing. Lets just say there was a really good argument. I felt it wasnt my place to say anything to her, i didnt want to be the mean stepmom. The bad thing is that my husbands mom is the one buying these clothes for her. It finally got to the point I told her and her grandma that she was living in my house and she wasnt gonna dress that way. My husband backed me up too, Girls should have more respect for themselves. Now if the grandma buys those clothes she either takes them back or they go in the trash and i dont care.

You're right. The parents are the problem. Parents seem almost afraid to say no to their kids these days and it's hurting the kids in the long run. Kids are growing up way too fast and not in a good way. You can't reallt fault the 12 year olds for wanting to look older....they are at that age of wanting to attract male attention and becoming "boy crazy," but it's the parents job to do the right things and buying clothes that looks like the child should be sliding down a pole isn't one of them.

It is what is being advertised on TV and they all want it. That is the way the world goes. Why blame children when their mothers wear the same kind of outfit or they see other women wearing them?

Why do some women wear clothes that are too small for them? I saw this lady who must weigh at least 250 pounds wearing booty shorts (at least couple of sizes short) and a cami that barely covered her ta-tas. Everything hung out. She had couple of children with her. I think most of the people in the store were doing everything to stop from throwing up.

I agree with you. I am totally against that too. I suppose the mothers let their daughters get away with it because they want them to fit in with the others girls. You know, it's all about peer pressure at that age. I believe those little girls are having sex much earlier these days than they did years ago. It's a shame but I think your right; most of them will come home pregnant at 15.

I totally agree! I think the manufacturer's of clothing are to blame as well. I don't want my 11-17 yr to look like a "whore".
Too much makeup, fancy hairstyles, shoes and clothes.

The adults need to step up! These are children and teenagers, they need to enjoy that time of innocence with supervision and parental boundaries for all things, not just clothes.

I actually said something TODAY in Chickfilet to a Mom, in the ear shot of the "bad Mom" about how her child's butt was showing and how embarrassing that must be for the child.

It's because these same parents of 12 year olds are the ones that are letting the girls look up to Paris Hilton and other women like that. These so called "parents" need to stand up and actually be parents instead of friends.. They are also the same parents who can not understand why there are things like pedophiles and teen pregnancy.. They are oblivous and these girls are the ones that end up older drunk in bars sleeping with anything that walks.. Bad way to build self esteem... Not to mention lack of self respect..

hey hun i know what you mean!....i have a 5yr old daughter and am appalled at some of the clothes i see that are available in her size!...you know just a few months ago i was in walmart and saw this little girl walking with her parents and she was wearing a play boy bunny shirt and shorts that barley covered her butt!..and she couldn't have been more then 10yrs old!..and then we have people wondering why 13 n 14yr olds are having babies!...it's sick and sad that some parents don't care or don't stand their ground were issues like that are concerned...whats even scarier is tha fact that even us parents that do care about what our kids wear are having a harder time each year finding clothes that are appropriately cut because "fashion" as it is called is calling for shorter and tighter clothes and as we all know the majority wins..there for we loose...rather enraging isn't it?...love daisy
