The bikini top for girls (the one on the news as of late)

Personally I didn't think that I would actually be saying anything on this, but then I realized that I had to say something, after all parents are complaining when it comes to what's been in the news as of late. The problem is that when it comes to something that comes out new and is going with the trends, it has to go with what the parents are wanting and not what the kids are wanting. Problems is, that never tends to mesh together as one.

 

Now the thing with this bikini top that's been in the news, is to me a double standard of parents, when it comes to the girls to the boys. The parents always want their daughters to remain young and not to grow up too fast, and yet when it comes to the sons, no they have to grow up fast, they're never allowed to have a childhood at all. Personally I call that a double standard, one that seriously needs to be addressed when it comes to our kids, and it's one that's been needing to get addressed for years. Boys are never allowed to cry, to men it's considered a sign of weakness (which is just bull to begin with), but girls are supposed to stay forever young, and then when they rebel, they're considered everything vile, from sluts to whores to you name it and that's wrong. Honestly if we don't let them be themselves it's going to be worse years down the line when the time comes. I hate to say this, but from what I've been seeing as I've been watching people around me, girls that are younger are appearing older and older, and yet, they're actually around 12 and 13 years old, and it's only getting worse. I mean the one thing that the article on GMA had shown (http://abcnews.go.com/GMA/video/push-bikini-young-girls-abercrombie-fitch-markets-little-business-13231892), was kids (young girls) putting on make up, and trying to make themselves look better then the way that they were, and the thing is, we planted this all in their heads and we're currently trying to fight it like crazy, and guess what IT'S NOT WORKING!!!!

 

Now I know that normally I don't deal with a news subject on the weekend, but this here just had me seething inside because of the two-facedness that parents have for their kids when it comes to this, and no matter what we do, we're conflicting with ourselves when it comes to supporting our kids. I'm sorry to say, but we can't have it both way, it's either one way or the other, Either way, all of this will come to a head, and it's going to be bad for everyone, I know it, but I also know that who ever reads this, won't believe what I'm saying until it actually happens.
