What is wrong with kids these days? Why are they trying to grow up so fast?

You think this is sad try being 2o something and see it.
I have a 7 year old girl and we went to get clothes for Christmas in the mall. The particular store we went in to had sparkly bra's and panties for her age. WTF!! You can hardly find anything that doesn't yell "I FEEL LIKE A GROWN UP IN THIS, DO I LOOK LIKE ONE" or how about the hoochy momma clothes they sell for children.
Everything is so superficial these days and everywhere you look these little kids are dressed like little hoes most of the time.
My child told me that she wanted to dress like Brittany Spear's when she was 4. She wanted to wear a short shirt and show her stomach like her. Of course I said no!!!
I went to school with a girl, back in the day, that would not leave her house if she didn't have make-up on. She was in the 5th grade.That is ridiculous.
So, I'm pretty sure allot of it has to do with the media, and other kids doing it. Some parents just don't care, while others don't pay
attention.
It's a sad sad world out there.
And you know what gets me the most? Parent's who wonder why their child got raped when they left the house with their butt hanging out and only a fourth of a shirt on.
