Brazillian waxes for kids between 9-14... Why are we trying to get kids to grow up so fast? I work with kids under the age of 12 on a regular basis, and half the girls, from the age of about 7, wear make up. They wear padded little bra things from about 8. The spend a lot of time dancing around poles in a way I would expect a stripper to dance. They talk about how far they have gone, about what types of alcohol they have drunk, about how "fat" they are when there is barely anything to them at all, about smoking, they have Paris Hilton and other skanks as role models, some of them even show signs of eating disorders... None of them seem to value intelligence, they don't want to be sporty, they don't want to be funny, they don't have good self esteem, they are mean to kids who don't wear "cool" clothes, they are not tolerant of other religions and races... even more disturbing than all of that though? Some of the boys, aged between 9 and 12, created a game that I could not believe when I overheard their rules and mission... it involved raping one of the 6 year old girls... Wasn't I pleased that I overheard them, and therefore stopped the game, but so very very disturbed that when I asked them if they knew what rape was, they explained to me, and yes, they did know, and that simply horrified me.

Growing up is hard enough. I want my grandkids to enjoy the time they have to be just be kids. The media sure makes it difficult though. Eventually everyone loses.

From the page: "Helping girls hate everything about their bodies earlier every year". What are we doing to the women of our future? How sad. Let's become the role models they need. How many pages do we SU with male nudes for women? Very few. Think about your daughters... I have no children, but I do care, especially as a registered nurse. I've seen the damage done to their teeth and bodies from anorexia and bulimia.

ME TOO!!!! From the page: "You know what? When I was nine, I was wearing jeans and flannel shirts that were dirty because I was out in the backyard, digging up dirt with my Tonka Trucks. I thought boys were cute but I was too busy riding my bike just a little further than I was really allowed to bother dressing myself up for one. I liked to put on my grandmotherâ€s bright red lipstick, pale face powder, and clip-on sparkly earrings for fun, but then I washed it off so I could run outside to play hide and seek or a rousing game of tag."

From the page: "Jesus Christ. Is this what the media is teaching our girls? That no matter how much we tell them theyâ€re beautiful, smart, funny, brilliant, wonderful, perfect, incredible, theyâ€re never going to be anything unless theyâ€re thinner, completely hairless for the sake of appealing to some sort of misogynist world, everything an advertiser says they need to be? Take your nine-year-old, toss her a bottle of Nair, give her a belly shirt and some spike heels, and there you go." it terrible, your just not aloud have a childhood anymore. i mean i'm 19 and i'm still a big kid!

From the page: "I want them to play and laugh and be the goddamn children that they are, not some miniature version of a sexed-up woman as described by magazines, and television shows, and websites that donâ€t see anything wrong with pushing a Brazilian wax job on pre-pubescent girls. For Godâ€s sake, the article incredulously mentions fashion magazines â€oefor five and six-year-olds that tell them how to look hot and find a boyfriend. There are pole-dancing classes for children.”" Libby Lou generation much? Pretty much people are trying to raise their kids to be little whores and nobody sees anything wrong with that. Great.
