Why can’t little girls act this way instead of acting like teenagers?

My little sisters had a dentist appointment and we had to check them out of school and as I went in I noticed four girls at the playground- they looked to be around 11-12 years old and they were playing with Lady Lovely Locks and Cardcaptor Sakura paper dolls and looking at printed pictures of the American Girl, Samantha’s outfits (who is a historical doll with very elegant and pretty dresses). One of them was wearing a very modest-looking daisy jumper over a frilled blouse (which appeared to be the eldest girl) and the others were wearing flowery baggy jeans and long sleeved floral-t-shirts (Not all the same shirts and jeans though). This was all surprising to me since little girls these days are all about Hannah Montana and acting like teenagers. Something told me that those girls were part of a fairly small percentage of girls who actually acted their ages. So my question is why can’t girls act like that these days rather than acting like teenagers? Programs on television like True Jackson VP, Degrassi, Hannah Montana, and High School Musical that are aimed at children trigger it and is what a high percentage of girls watch. In my opinion, girls should not be watching shows like this. Like those other girls, they should be spending time enjoying their childhood and being little girls. It’s easy to tell the girls probably watched the old Strawberry Shortcake cartoons of the 80s rather than the Disney Channel. And why have clothes for girls gotten so teen-ish as well? Mini-skirts and extremley short-shorts are on the racks of stores in malls as well as skinny and tight jeans that give a lot of “sexy” appeal to girls and very skimpy-looking camisoles. Why is it like this? What is this world coming to?

    Why can’t you use proper paragraphs like a big girl? Nobody wants to read that clusterfuck.

    you need to look at the mothers of those pre teens who are so precocious in act and dress…. it very often starts with the mother…. I blocked the Disney channel and mtv and still had to fight the wife about letting our pre school daughter dress like a teen… because all the little ones were like that… very few fathers of the last generation actually liked the way the mothers were allowing daughters to behave

    cause their parents
    are clueless to those actions

    or their parents were the parents or they are from the 60’s and were always on drug
    their ideal liberal lifestyle is leading to the down fall of all families

    One reason Bitcha Montana the other Pissme Channel. These are the ones to blame for causing little girls to behave like that. When I see a little girl dress like you are saying I am like ”gosh why do her parents buy her skunky clothes”. The good girls you saw probably have christian parents that blocked the Pissme Channel and only allow their girls to watch Boomerang, Boomerang has lots of old cartoons that I found to be very good teaching little girls good values. Same or even worst with boys my cousing watching spider man he jumped from the stairs to the floor luckily he didn’t got hurt. My brother watching WWE and then doing what he saw with his friend he chipped his front tooth.

    I have a feeling they look up to Hannah Montana and all that type as their role model and they want to be just like them! Also it may have a little to do with what their parents let them wear, BUT I TOTALLY AGREE WITH YOU!!!!!! it really annoys me when i seee them dressed like that!!
