About younger ages..., and certain clothing... Options

[captured_serenit...]

I'm not sure wether to post this here in fashion or in debate, or in the lounge, so I decided to post it here in the Lounge, I searched for a topic on this, but came up with nothing but clothing styles and bleh...

But have you ever noticed that the generation clothing is becoming more provocative...more and more...because in Hollister/Abercrombie/Forever 21 and etc...have teeny boppers wearing their club clothing...I have noticed that the teeny kids are wearing shorter skirts, and shorter shirts, and more and more halter tops, and stuff like that?

Why would such kids want to grow up so fast? I dont' have a problem, like "stop wearing clothes like that" or anything, but I just don't understand how they could want to grow up so fast....wearing provocative clothing...isn't the answer for the younger group age...

What do you think about this? What's your opinion...Please don't mistake this as offensive, I just want to know what the opinions of others out there is...Please explain...

[avalon*]

you have a point..people should dress their age, it's more appropriate that way, but you know..people wear whatever they like anyway..lol.

[mouse_3k]

little kids these days..*sigh* i HATE seeing these six graders wearing revealing stuff, thinkin they the shiz..gosh, i just wanna smack them upside their head.

[*stephinika*]

i know what you people mean...so annoying...wait until you're at least a teenager or even just a preteen...its almost disgusting some of the stuff i've seen.

FOURTH GRADERS WEAR BABY PHAT.

yea, especially for girls, they act all slutty and bitchy ..

[mouse_3k]

lol its funny to see 4th graders wearing tube tops when the cloths keep falling down cause they dont have the..err upper fat to hold them up. hilarious!

[pikimoo]

The clothes don't bother me as much as the talk.

Little 8 year olds don't need to be talkin about sex and body parts and licking people in 'areas'.

Yeah, a six year old was all up on my friend lickin her and talkin dirty.

She's 15. He's 6. Ew.

ughhh. what's the opposite of pedophile? that's what that kid is.

[taiwanesegurl]

their parents need to distinguish between "TV" (ie. what they see britney/christina/other 16+ yr olds wear) and "reality".. sure they have the right to be fashionable and cute, but their parents really need to show them what's appropriate and inappropriate.. my boss' 12 yr old daughter loves clothes and shopping, but she dresses appropriate for her age.. cute t-shirt, capri pants or jeans.. the top is not revealing, but cute..

ultimately it's up to the parents.. parents NEED to set a guideline..

[d0rkbaby]

well i dont know if anyone knows this brand.. but its really popular in canada. mainly vancouver calgary and toronto.. cause those are the only places this store has franchised.. anyways its called TNA ... these clothes are like lululemon yoga pants. so these pants you usually have to wear a thong cause its so tight.. so think about it.. a 11 year old kid that has the tinyest waist goes around w/ these pants ...so you know they are either wearing a thong or they are going comando.. which is gross.

[*wind&fire*]

its stealing their innocence

ive seen those. and i agree. its just sick.. seeing all these young kids dress all.. old! *shivers*

(and i dont know whats the big hullaballoo with TNA. everyone seems to have it and everyone looks the same. blah)

[captured_serenit...]

tis very funny, i would also like to slap them upside their heads...i agree with you! =)

[Tinkerballa]

well when i was little , alot of my friends never dressed like the little kids these days.. i'm 22 now and i see 12 year olds who dress like my friends who are 23,26 etc... its sad really sad... back in my day baggy pants and shirts were in. never anything tight....

[RandomHero]

I know exactly what you mean. Alot of the kids at our local middle school dress in the tightest jeans & tightest tops from Abercrombie & Hollister. I remember when I was in Middle School (which wasn't too long ago) I wore jeans, converse and a t-shirt. Nothing like the girls do now. Even the freshman this year are dressing like hoe's. Wtf is with that?

[captured_serenit...]

i dont know what's up with that...but yeah i have noticed that 12 year olds dress like girls who are like 20+ and some guys can't even tell the difference, between girls and their ages...so yeah..it's crazy don't you think?

[Heathasm]

i dont think there is any problem with the guys, it all has to do with the girls and self esteem. society has come to make us believe no one will like you unless you look sexy...there has always been provactive clothes in stores, i blame this on mtv, magazines, celebreties (the idols of every kid in america) i miss the mary tyler moore days!
any way i heard about this movie called "thirteen" that is out, and i really want to watch it, it talks about this very topic we're discussing here, and how girls with suck d**k and take it up the ass so willingly while dressed like 10 cent hookers with tongue rings and etc.
im disgusted just thinking about this -_-

[177emories]

theres no such thing as "dress your age" there isn't a certain kind of clothes for a speciific perosn depending on their age...
tho i do find it sick how little girls with no breast are wearing these tank tops where you need boobs to strut it. anyways if thats what they see in the stores what else are they gonna buy? where do you wnat them to shop? and IF they were so small wouldn't their parents be shopping with tjem? if so, i guess their parents allows them to wear such clothes why should you say its not right...

[dttmdancer]

well i'm 11 and i do go to abercrombie forever 21 hollister american eagle etc. but nothing makes those kinda clothes for older ppl its whats in now skirts r rly in rightnow and stuff and there r no other cool clothing stores other than those so jsut let us wear clothes its a good point though im not offending u or anything but wearing a skirt doesnt make u dress any older 3 year olds wear skirts and young grls at my school wear whats in because its fashionable and we dont want to go to the gap or old navy

<3Jen<3

is it just me or a lot of the younger kids don't ever use "periods?" It's really not that hard to press another button on their keyboards... see?? I used it three times already haha

What's wrong with gap or old navy for kids?

[heidi8822]

yeah i agree. i mean, it makes me mad just seeing little elementary kids wearing clothes us teens where and stuff. heck when i was little are clothes were normal. they weren't showing too much for a kid that age. i think it's just gonna keep getting worse. and they think they're so cool cuz they wear those clothes. well i don't think so

[Skyline Drive]

i know what you people mean...so annoying...wait until you're at least a teenager or even just a preteen...its almost disgusting some of the stuff i've seen.

I agree. This past summer I babysat a 9 year old girl and one day she showed me what she had bought over the weekend and she pulled out a thong that she had bought along with some junior sized clothing that was definately not made for a 9 year old. What the eff... she is 9 years old. I couldn't believe her mom bought her that. It just disgusted me.

[*stephinika*]

<3Jen<3

not necessarily skirts in general but you know what, i'm going to be blunt. it doesn't matter if its 'cool' or 'in'...but thats not the point. its not wearing a skirt its when you dress like your 16 years old or older and you look like a ho. thats what pisses me off.

[captured_serenit...]

i certainly agree with all you kiddos, except for dttmdancer like stephinika said, it's not about just the 'cool thing' or the 'in' thing but it's more of the dressing of like a skank, whore, or slut, the terms used by your elders. Clothing of this, is more of whether it's revealing or too much for older people rather than for kids, like a thong? for a 9 YEAR OLD? OH HECK NO...what are these parents thinking? and there is definately nothing wrong with OLD NAVY or GAP! GAW...the future generation is lost...sorry to say...they think that OLD NAVY and the GAP aren't cool. well news flash, not everything has to be cool...HA!

[xGlovex]

people have the right to have whatever they want..
im done..

[Heathasm]

people have the right to have whatever they want..
im done..

how about crotchless pants and no underwear
or how about ONLY socks
oh yeah, thatd be so cool and stylish id pee myself

[liloandstitchx3]

i think it's cause the 11 year old teeny boppers are being more exposed to trend-following things. it's not only about fashion yannouw? they have enormous attitude towards their elders now. it's annoying.

[Xprezsion]

I agree, I was thinking about what you said too. It's all because of magazines and celebrities changing your self- image to try to have the perfect body and be sexy and everything, but when you're like 10 it doesn't really work too well, you just gotta wait...

[xLil SweetnezZx]

Ick-I no wut u mean. I was at Burger King once and I saw this little six year old girl wit like this THING tied around her chest and this short, short, EXTREMLEY like XXX short skirt. And she had these gigantic hoops too....they prolly added 10 pounds to her.
0.0 I'm 12 and eben the girls at my school don't dress like that >.<

[Edit 6:37pm]
Wtf????? Gap n Old Navy are cool.
dttmdancer-wut u need to do is get your snobby little nose out of all those fashion magazines and see that "fashionable" clothes aren't always the best.
*cough*Baggy Rocks

[imm]

Ugh. I reallly feel ya on the little kids wearing the halter tops part. That's just gross...

Seriously. I'd much rather the little 5 year olds stick to wearing their little teddy bear print jammies.

[sammehmyst]

-.-

Before you all post about how all the middle school girls dress as sluts, you might want to think about who reads your posts...

Not all little "middle school whatever you call them" people dress like skanks, just incase you all had that impression.

[sammehmyst]

how about crotchless pants and no underwear
or how about ONLY socks
oh yeah, thatd be so cool and stylish id pee myself

since when does ANYONE see that?

[misoshiru]

Old Navy and Gap aren't bad places to shop at 

i agree. it's really quite disgusting to see some little kid/preteen walking around dressed in even more revealing clothing than me. still, i think its funny when they walk around "strutting their stuff" when they dont have anything to strut.

[sammi rules you]

THEY SELL FREAKING THONGS IN ABERCROMBIE KIDS.

that's not right.

[NeSsA0723]

every generation is growing up faster and faster. I have an 12 year old aunt (dont ask) and the other day she wanted to wear this shirt that had nothing down the middle so her lil boobies would be all over the place. I really dont get it....at her age i was thinking bout looking sexy...never even crossed my mind. i dont understand it at all.

[captured_serenit...]

THEY SELL FREAKING THONGS IN ABERCROMBIE KIDS.

that's not right.

i so agree...can you believe that...sheesh...

[avalon*]

THEY SELL FREAKING THONGS IN ABERCROMBIE KIDS.

that's not right.

are you serious? goodness. that's just...ew.

[taiwanesegurl]

today we're not saying it's not OKAY for kids to shop in stores like Forever 21, Abercrombie & Fitch, etc.. but we are saying it's not okay for kids to dress like they're ready for sex when they're only 8.. for them to wear thongs to show off their ass cheeks, or a skirt that's only 2 inches long.. and their butt cheeks are hanging out.. and having their whole midriff showing.. i mean, they're 8 year olds.. they're not 21 year old girls going out clubbing and trying to pick up guys and getting guys to buy them a drink.. but that's what a lot of us are seeing and it's REALLY gross.. yea fashion for kids have totally changed since my time but it doesn't have to be so sexified..

[*mishyerr*]

ROFL!! Don't you love those bopper boys that are like 10-12 and wear those HUUUGGEEEEEE fubu and ecko and phat farm.. ROFL. It makes me LAUGH..

And than the slutty, flat-chested little girls who wear V-cuts that go to the middle of their stomach.. complete with those TEENY little shorts that let your ass hangout. Absolute YUMM..

...T.T Our generation is soo messed up.

I didn't wear any 'clubbing' clothes til about 8th grade...

[heyyfrankie]

i'm torn! i think that, yes, some youngsters were wearing some things that my mom wouldn't approve of but i don't know. the stores put them on display but it is the kids that buy it.

oh in 5th grade, there was this girl wearing a thong from abercrombie and all the parents wigged out!

[xkiller_muffiinx]

Its disgusting...now the stores are making thongs for like 9 year olds ><

[Hiiatus]

I see kids at the elementary school of my niece wearing those saggy ghetto pants and all it bugs me.. they're still young why would they wear that.. back then I'd rather have fun playing hide and seek than care about what I'm wearing or in i'm "in" or not

[captured_serenit...]

yeah....those kids now a days, dont know how to dress smart...and right! =)

[Heathasm]

since when does ANYONE see that?

haha tv

but i wasnt saying people wear that now, the person i was quoting said "people should be alowd to wear whatever they want"...which, if they could, would be a total wave of crotchlessness!

[captured_serenit...]

haha tv

but i wasnt saying people wear that now, the person i was quoting said "people should be alowd to wear whatever they want"...which, if they could, would be a total wave of crotchlessness!

you are NOT serious!...

are you??

[miss barnes]

i really dont notice it. or care for that matter....

[D1SMANTLED]

Living in southern california... you see it everywhere. It amazes me how their parents actually but it for them. Most of those kids are probably little spoiled brats. They see it on tv or music videos. They want it, and their parents but it for them.

[xGlovex]

everyone should be able to wear wat they want, when they want.

[sweetdreamsx3]

Let their asses get raped. It's just so stupid because...First off, young age and you're going to wear a mini shirt with your flat boobs hanging out? Okay. Ew.

[supahstah_luv]

i don't know if any of you are from canada
but seeing all the little kids on the streets with their TNA outfits just ticks me off...

[smthngcrprategrl...]

agreed. my neighbors she's like in fourth grade? she's dressing like some highschool sophmores i know

[sammi rules you]

you are NOT serious!...

are you??

i am. i went shopping with my 12 year old sister the other day, who will ONLY shop at abercrombie..not even hollister or anything, JUST abercrombie. and we went to the back and she was like "don't tell mom i'm buying this.." and it was A FREAKING THONG. i was like "no put that down, you are not buying a thong." and she's like "well you bought like 2!" WTH? i'm almost 15, and i bought them for poms cause we have tight pants i don't wear them usually, no one sees my underwear and they're uncomfortable.

it disgusted me. i hate people like my sister. she uses my straightener and curling iron, and it's like, in 7th grade?? i didn't do anything to my hair in 7th grade. she's gonna be my age, and be one of the people i hate in my school. and the way she acts..all my friends in my grade (when she's a freshie, i'll be a junior) will have sex with her, but she won't get a bf. and what's funnier is they'll tell me about it, and then my mom will freak and she'll get in trouble and wonder what made her such a slut.

but the stores are at fault, too, not just the kids. abercrombie kids disgusts me.

[Kriegsgefangene]

*shudders at the thought*

You sister is scaring me.

I don't want to know what my sister wears. I see enough of it at school. Even from the MIDDLE SCHOOLERS.

I am grossed out by that stuff.

If you ever see that, just say 'Pull up your pants, Crack kills'

[waccoon]

all my friends in my grade (when she's a freshie, i'll be a junior) will have sex with her, but she won't get a bf

Arent you uh. A freshman.
Didn't you go out with. Uh. A junior. >__>

[actionrobot_go]

It's disgusting, childhood is getting shorter and shorter

[snak3y3z1001]

I see these kinds of kids all over NYC. Really digusts me. The parents who buy their kids those disgust me too, letting their little daughters running around the streets like that.

[ldyxluvable]

little kids these days..*sigh* i HATE seeing these six graders wearing revealing stuff, thinkin they the shiz..gosh, i just wanna smack them upside their head.

OMG i so agree with you yea i notice this too i like to make fun of them cause they think they the sh*t they barely even growning boobies hahaha

[miiichellley]

what age range is this all about?
it annoys me to see especially elementary school kids wearing stuff like that. by the time they get to middle school, it's okay i guess, but it depends what is the actual shirt they are wearing. seeing a 6th grader in some spaghetti strap tank top and super short short hollister shorts or something will irritate me. such young kids these days are totally being exposed to all this explicit stuff they shouldn't be seeing. whatever happened to the good old days..

[voguelove]

oh god. i remember limited too back in the day. (well, like..8 years ago) it was nice. and innocent.

now..at limited too..their skirts are copy cats of abercrombie and they've got the shortest ones. ah. its weird seeing little 10 year old bodies wearing 20 year old clothing.

[blucheri]

hey u have a point. but also remember. Kids r growing up... as in size. they can sometimes only fit those clothes that those stores sell.

maybe thats why they end up wearing such clothing.

also blame the parents. who obviously buy that for them. and think its cute

[*My Cinderella.*]

I guess its the fact that they think that wearing revealing clothes will get them noticed.

[moninja]

sixth grade girls at my school like to wear mini skirts, and hollister, a&f, all that stuff. sixth grade boys like to have their boxers hanging out and wear "gangster" clothing. i think it's stupid.

they should start wearing their baby clothes.

[miceylulu]

well i'm 11 and i do go to abercrombie forever 21 hollister american eagle etc. but nothing makes those kinda clothes for older ppl its whats in now skirts r rly in rightnow and stuff and there r no other cool clothing stores other than those so jsut let us wear clothes its a good point though im not offending u or anything but wearing a skirt doesnt make u dress any older 3 year olds wear skirts and young grls at my school wear whats in because its fashionable and we dont want to go to the gap or old navy

I would've considered your point if you knew what a period (you know >> .) was.

Sammi, I know this was from ages ago, but I think I love you now.
My sister does the exact same thing, except she's... in 6th grade and she's been doing it since 5th.

It's not just the halter tops and the tube tops that are freakishly annoying, it's the prepubescents *trying* to wear the tight jeans at size when they haven't even got size zero hips or butt or legs.
