I was looking at girly clothes while I was looking around at Burlington Coat Factory and I was amazed and kinda disappointed in the clothes I saw for toddler girls. This one outfit was like a mini skirt and was what I call a "hip hugger" and then the blouse part had princess seams and was made to make the little girl wearing it, look like she had a chest like a woman. I kept looking at it, thinking, "How on earth are our little girls supposed to stay little if we're dressing them like women?"
I mean, a lot of us have probably seen the post on Facebook about how can we expect our little girls to dress like women, have make-up like women, watching movies like adults, and all those "grown up" things. In Highschool, they're taught about birth control and dating, and all those things that go with mature relationships. How are we supposed to expect our young girls to stay young and girly, if they're growing up in a world that is training them to adults before they even learn to talk and walk! Ok, maybe that is bit of an exaggeration, but think about it!? Our little girls are watching shows, seeing models and clothes everywhere that point them towards growing up faster than they should. They go to school and see/hear all sorts of things that are only for adult ears. Yet the schools and teaches say they need to hear it because of the world they're growing up in. Teen pregnancy is up 66% since the 90's!!!!
If they "need" to hear it because of the world they're growing up in, why can't WE change the world? Why can't Hollywood stop promoting sex, drugs, alcohol and promiscuity and promote real marriage, appropriate dress and relationships, and teaching that drugs and alcohol are bad things, and the consequences of those actions?
I'm going to share two different photos I found on Google. One is of a little girl being a little girl, and the other is a little girl trying to be grown up. Which one do you like best??!! :)
