Pre-teen and teen girls and provocative clothing

Everyone has seen a young girl in a store or walking down the street dressed in a shirt too low or a skirt too high. Maybe she had a t-shirt with a suggestive saying on it or pants with writing on the tush. Do you think pre-teen and teen girls sh

People can wear whatever they want. The parents are the issue.

Provocative, "trendy" clothes shouldn't even be available for young girls!

who is to say whether it is ok or not? if people can't wear what they want then what kind of country is this? it is the parents call to determine what is appropriate until they are old enough to be responsible for themselves. .

How a girl wants to look shouldn't be set in stone. People should be allowed that freedom.

People should be allowed the freedom to look what ever way they want. It shouldn't be governed. Girls can choose for them selves if they want to look sexy. They just need to know the possible consequences and risks.

Seriously, teach them what certain dress appeal might have as a consequence. Then let THEM choose.

Don't give your children the impression that you think they are incapable of making decisions by themselves. Tell them what you know, what you feel, and then let them make a decision themselves. They will never grow otherwise. Clothes is a choice.

Teenage girls have had HORRIBLE role models in clothing.

Little girls are losing more and more of their childhood. Wearing clothes designed for strippers rather than children is just wrong. .

Young girls and teens shouldn't be dressed like that in public.

in my opinion, teen girls are wearing too short shors and very low cut tops. This type of dress conveys messages that you are ready to have sex. boys will take this the wrong way and bring it too far. Women are humans....not sex tools.

Parents should not let their daughters dress trashy. These girls see their favorite movie stars

dressing in these unappropriated ways and they assume that it's o.k. and even worse, cool. Young girls don't need the pressure that comes with dressing this way. .

Its scary how young girls feel a woman should look now a days. There is an image and standard that is held up that a girl should grow up looking a certain way and that any other is to be shunned and repulsed. .

Provocative clothing for young girls is wrong. It emphasizes sexuality far too early in their lives

-- Posted By Perdie on September 18, 2007

It sends a message that their identity is tied up in promoting themselves in a sexual way. It's up to the mothers and fathers to say no and to refuse to buy them for their young girls. .

It is very difficult to even find clothing for young girls that is modest, cute, and comfortable. My eight year old doesn't need to look like an eighteen year old! She doesn't need low-risers, high heels, belly shirts, or even clothes with derogatory sayings on them. With all the child preditors and child porn fans out there, we really don't need to encourage them by letting our girls dress suggestively. We need to teach our girls that their value has nothing to do with how they dress and what kind of attention they get. Don't we have enough eating disorders & image issues in our country?!

Our society has made women out to be sex items instead of human beings. Its all the more disgusting that children are also targeted by clothes designers, I wonder what these people are thinking? MAN that will look HOT on an 8 year-old!!! ? :P.
