Many mothers have battle scars due to "fashion wars" with their daughters.In many places, this means they are trying to outskank each other.

What happens if we let them dress like that? We send them a clear signal that we approve of everything that flows from it, namely, sexual promiscuity and destructive behavior. If you let them go to public school and watch TV, Hollyweird movies and pop music, you can bet they have been getting THAT message for years and years already.

Speaking as an ex-teenage girl myself and the mother of a teenage girl, I truly believe that teenage girls don’t really know that they’re playing with fire. Sexy clothes make them feel pretty, attractive, and grown up; they are a statement of independence. Even if the girl concerned is not a virgin, she still has NO idea of the nature of male sexuality.

It's not just "peers" they get pressure from. They get it from teachers who are handing out condoms and telling them if it feels good do it. They get it from TV where teachers call kids who don't want to have sex "cold fish".
They are getting it from the "government/culture approved role models".

“Many mothers have battle scars due to “fashion wars” with their daughters.”
I often see women at WalMart who are old enough to be grandmothers dressed like teen age trollops. They flaunt their cellulite and spider veins.

You can wear them until they truly stink Dad, like outside of your personal space!

In the 90s I knew a girl who was proud to be a virgin when most of her friends had already given it up. She wasn’t conservative or religious, no promise ring or anything. She just wasn’t going to give into any of the pressure as a matter of personal pride and control. How the times have changed.

I recently encountered a Mother of a 5 year old who told her daughter she had to suffer for fashion. The Mother wanted the 5 year old to wear tight, skinny jeans. The 5 year old didn't want to wear them, they were uncomfortable.The Mother won. Next they battled about pierced ears. The 5 year old didn't want her ears pierced. Thankfully the 5 year old won that battle. It was like watching an episode of Toddlers and Tiaras where the Mother tries to live vicariously through her daughter.

Given the short amount of time it took for promiscuity in girls to go from rare to common, I would really like to see someone study movies and TV for subliminal messages.

As one wise man said, “If women knew what men were thinking, they’d never stop hitting them”.

For some strange reason, "empowerment" these days means putting out, as in giving into every request somehow makes you powerful. That's not power, that's weakness. This girl had it right, the empowerment lies in not giving in to peer pressure or temptation. The stronger a person you are, the more successful you will be.

"Toddlers and Tiaras" gives me the heebie-jeebies. It's a pedophile's dream show.
I have teenage daughters. We have had the clothes discussion on several occasions. They may think a look is cute because they see it on TV or in a magazine, but it translates to "putting it out there" when they wear it in real life. So far I think the message is getting through. For the time being.
To: Bigg Red
subliminal??? lol. These messages are NOT hidden in any way.
