hmm

Dear parents of girls in elementary school,

I understand that you want your precious girl to look cute and to feel good about herself, I also understand that you want to let her develop her own taste in clothing and to grow into her own person with her own likes and dislikes. What I do not understand is why you feel it is appropriate to either dress your child or let your child dress in an overly sexual way. Do you really want her to grow up with the image that the only way to look cute is to show off her body in a bad way or do you want her to have the problem of people assuming that she is a woman of low moral fiber and willing to give "it" away to anyone that wants it? I think that the women of this nation have enough problems when facing societies version of beautiful that we do not need our young impressionable girls trying to dress like strippers. Why don't we focus on getting them to learn how to eat healthy, make good life choices, and how to love themselves for being amazing young women instead of having them have to dress like prostitutes to attract people to them.

I get sad when I see the elementary school girls walking down the road in skirts and shorts so short that you can tell them what color panties they are wearing or wearing tank tops cut so low you can almost see their belly buttons. It is a shame that they cannot focus on being little girls and instead are focusing on trying to be like the majority of the women on T.V.

Sincerely,

A woman disappointed in the pressures placed on young girls.
