Too young to be dressing provocatively. Q to Parents
Discussion
Working in Loughton High Road with a full glass frontage in our showroom we are treated daily to the wonderful sights of DB9's, Ferrari's, 911's etc etc all day long.
The down side to that is we get the 'Orange bimbo brigade' doing the local mating stroll, up and down the high street in the hope of trapping some rich dude.
This is all fine, each to their own and all that, if they are happy then thats ok. BUT what i have started to see more and more are girls who really shouldnt be trying to attact attention to themselves.
It makes me feel sick, these poor girls have been brainwashed by the media and stupid sl*g airhead 'celebs' like cheryl cole, Katie Price, Jade Goody (dont even get me started on that one!) I see them 'checking themselves out' in their reflection in the shop windows, constantly pruning themselves with their designer handbags and half of them look like their barely in senior school.
Now, i dont have kids, but id like to think id NEVER let my daughter out like that , jean shorts up her ass, short, tight top, heels etc - what are your thoughts?
What happened to growing up at the correct pace? - these girls are surely missing out on a childhood?
is there 'no harm' in letting them dress up?
am i getting old?
do they leave the house dressed as their parents want them to but then get changed into a wh*re round the corner?

I'm constantly having a go at my daughter who wears make up, hot pants and little tops and she's 11. It's depressing as it's constant fighting which I thought would not happen until her mid teens.
It is sad that they grow up far too quickly these days. Funnily the boys her age are still like her kid brothers so she has no interest in boys but seems to know a disturbing amount about expensive fashion.

We used to marry before puberty. Only the law and your expectations have changed.
I learned that lesson being flirted with by two girls who must have been maybe eight and ten (it was Coventry) but when I suggested this wasn't a wise idea they said "We only do it with the nice ones".
They are doing what they always have done. Human nature.

I'm far from Victorian but wouldn't permit it. Luckily, it's often do as you see. My daughter's mother is a country girl into horses who wouldn't know a designer label if it bit her on the bum and I am far too mean to pay for any "label". We constantly educate her that what other girls do is not a desirable thing and there is no way she will be permitted to dress thus. What i tend to find is that provided you keep them dressed sensibly, they drift into groups of friends with similar sensibilities.
The unfrtunate consequence of young girls dressing like tarts (I'm certainly not against it in older women...) is they attract attention from the wrong type of older male who can exploit them. However trendy it may be, that's not going to happen to my daughter.

No, thankfully. I was a student going to the bakery.
but yes, I've also experienced this (pre teen flirting not trips to the bakery) and it's quite an eye opener. I don't remember them doing it when I was an 8yo!
My own 9yo daughter dresses very conservatively mostly thanks to her mother and often comments on girls her age wearing heels who "Look like tarts" or "Are they gypsies?" as that's ok as it's their "culture".
I hope I never catch her "flirting" with anyone who's not her own age or Justin Bieber.
She gets embarrassed when her friends go all giggly when I'm there, as I'm quite hot you see to people of all ages and sexes.

If she's your daughter, where's the cash coming from to buy such things?If you/her mother are buying it, then shame on you.
If she's buying it herself with pocket money, I'd question how much money she actually gets to be able to afford 'fashion'!

It's the intelligence aspect of some of this behaviour that bothers me a bit actually, as it's not always the 'thick ones' who end up with the Footballer's WAG 'snare a rich man' mentality.I find there's something thoroughly depressing about students, especially science ones, giving it all up to become strippers and the like. It's almost as though society has deemed ogling their birthday suit more important than anything they might have been working on in the name of science and technology.
It goes back to that old Kennedy quote, 'ask not what your country can do for you, but what you can do for your country'. It's depressing that so many women see their role in society as to live out of rich mens' pockets (often as a very calculated, 'intelligent', almost mathematical decision) rather than discover their own potential worth and place in society.
Since the rise of WAG/SATC culture (and their male counterparts, Nuts and Zoo magazines and the proliferation and popularisation of strip joints (plus pathetically rebranding them 'gentlemen's clubs' to give them an aura of undeserved 'class')), several parts of society seem to have got jammed in reverse, especially when you consider what many women around the world have fought for to be independent and valued for their minds. It's pathetic, an insult to generations of effort.
