I'm not going to discuss feminism right now.
I see little girls wearing clothes that I would be embarrassed to wear in front of my mother, and I'm in my thirties. I don't mean 15 year olds. I mean grammar school children and pre-teens. Parents need to be responsible for their children and what they wear. A nine year old dressing like Britney Spears is inappropriate.
I think that it is the role of parents to lay down a strong foundation for their children. The world seems so eager to corrupt them at an increasingly younger age. Sadly, many parents abdicate their responsibilities or want to be friends with their children instead of guiding them into adulthood. Parents need to prepare their children by discussing choices and actions and consequences with them. They cannot control them when they become teens, but parents can arm them with information as well as set an example.
