As for tweens buying power, unless babysitting is paying more than a entry level corporate job , these kids are getting cash from somewhere.Last time I checked child labor laws are in place. And I won't start on the issue of allowances.
That's why many schools have dress codes that don't allow very short skirts or pants, loud t-shirts, the display of bra straps, non-religious headgear, etc...maybe more schools should do that. Anyway, I'm sure twelve years ago, people were complaining about how teens were dressing inappropriately because of the grunge movement. It's just that we covered ourselves back then, so there was no "sexualization" of young girls. However, the clothes certainly weren't "lady-like" either.
