birthday gift ideas 8 yr old girl image
lisachicky
Are any of you so scared by the posts on here by the teenage girls talking about their relationships and boyfriends. I have an 8 year old and a 5 yr old little girl and don't get me wrong I know I have raised them right teaching them self respect moral values responsibility and accountability for their actions but I am seriously scared to death for them to be exposed to these girls I am not saying that my kids are better than anyone elses so please don't think I am saying that my girls are. It is just that I am only 27 and I don't remember teens being this way when I was growing up
I totally agree with you on that one cinnatig. It goes for both boys and girls. But to me just from watching some of the posts the teen girls just post and post and post like they are so nonchalant about putting all their business out there where as the boys of the same age are having other more constructive questions to ask. It is very important not to have double standards based on sexes but that does not mean that all my children will start going out on dates at the same age either it is a responsibilty issue not a boy/girl issue
I know Sarah N it seems now that if they make it TO highschool before getting pregnant it's no big deal. But honestly with some of the teenagers who are having a second baby I put some of the blame on their mothers if they are watching the 1st baby for anything more than for them to go to school and work
I saw that one too Kaiialyn but the one that really got to me was the 5th grader asking what age was too young to date and a 13 year old answering that she should wait until she is 13 because her relationships with her boyfriends were pretty much meaningless until she turned 13 but her relationships are much more serious and meaningfull now that she is 13

Hi, in Aust here we just had a program on televison addressing the new classifacation group of 'tweens' this is the age group of 6 - 11 years old. It seems that once you are 6 years new in this world the advertising executivies of the world think you are old enough to sell images and ideas that traditionally weren't really exposed to children until they were closer to 15 years of age, when the brain has had a chance to mature a little bit.
My daughter age 6 already occasionally says her HORRID Bratz dolls are 'sexy'!!!! The first time I heard this I just about fell over, What was my child doing saying or even thinking that about anything. I know she wouldn't understand what the word really means, but she knew enough to apply it to her doll when it was wearing a very short dress and red high heels.
I was being told by my ex partner that I was overrecting about the languages and images that are contained in some of the kids programs and movies being released today.
I don't want to be one of those prudish parents and try to hide my child from the world but on this particular subject, I would just rather it have a more natural emergence. I think a lot of these movies, magazines, etc are taking away the parents right to inform their children about these issues.
I have a particular objection to the Bratz dolls I can not stand them and last year at my daughters birthday party she was given 3 by classmates. Other parents of 6 year olds thought it an appropriate gift! My right to ban them from our house as I had been doing was just swept away, now I can not get them out of the house.
I am sorry to rant but it is something I am really quite passionate about . Kids are being treated as young adults younger and younger. 6 years old is way to young to be exposed to these ideas.
I am very frightened about what awaits my child in the next few years, despite what the advertisers want us to beleive, my daughter is still only a child and I want her to enjoy it and not be pressured into things she will not be ready for.
The same program that did have the issue of 'tweens' discussed also had a program on about the fact kids are having sexual relationships younger and younger.
Am I alowed to give a link to the program where you can get a transcript and see what kids of these ages alos think, if not I apologise if I am here it is:

If you chose to look at it then I hope it helps, be aware this is a television program site so you will have to go into the archives pages to find the particular shows. It is an eye-opening dicussion though.
