My Daughter's A Tramp, Isn't It Cute?
 

Fantastic Read:

Re: My Daughter's A Tramp, Isn't It Cute?
 

There is a serious vacuum of parental responsibility growing in America. "Permissiveness" does not begin to describe the idiotic thinking of parents like the one described. Having your daughter dress like a whore may be tongue in cheek and all in good fun... until she's giving out "mouth hugs" in the back of the school bus and coming home with an irregular beauty mark on her lip or worse.

Also, with the increasing danger from child predators, this is even more stupid. No, if a little girl dresses provacatively, its not her fault if she gets molested... but she still got molested. You can either buck the system and make a stand for a 10 year old's right to dress themselves, or you can help them avoid very real dangers.

Its not just clothling, but media pushing such behavior as well. Personally, I find MTV to be the single greatest element in damaging our youth. Shows like Next, My Super Sweet Sixteen, Laguna Beach and the rest create a distorted world view in the eyes of the youth. Its to the point that if I had children I would block MTV before HBO or even Cinemax. At least their trash programming is obviously fictional and not pretending to be reality.

Many of you may scoff at my concerned, but most of you are much younger than I am. I am coming to the age where I am considering when I plan to have children and its most likely within the next 5 years. Shows like My Super Sweet Sixteen are a serious concern because of false life-expectations of a daughter, should I have one. This is the conversation that will take place:

"Daddy, I want a new car for my 16th birthday."
"Well I'll tell you what, how bout I get a new car for you 16th birthday and you can have my 2000 Grand Am? Sounds good? GREAT!"
"I HATE YOU!!!!"
"Yeah, I know. Go clean your room."

At least the author has a sense of humor, it's the only thing you can have.

Speaking of forbidden subjects, how about drugs, drinking, stem-cell, and all that other sh*t. Instead of teaching kids that alcohol is the bane of their existence until 21, and marketing the crap out of it, maybe we should get rid of the drinking age and instill proper moral. Or how about stem cells. Religious nut jobs. And drugs don’t destroy dreams. Heroin destroys dreams. Prolonged drinking destroys dreams. Marijuana is healthier than alcohol. Want me to dig up documentation? Just ask. How many marijuana ODs have there been? 0? 0.

Fortunately, we’re in America. It’s a slippery slope to unmystify one thing. So it won’t happen.

I'm not saying I think it's completely right for little girls to do this.

But the parents were probably teenagers in the 60's.


The 60's.

So showing some belly and having a peircing is a lot better than roaming fields naked tripping on LSD.

Re: My Daughter's A Tramp, Isn't It Cute?
 

And having unprotected sex. Woot! Unprotected sex!

I know prude girls that dress loose as hell. From a visual stance, you would think they'd be easy as pie to nail, and they're actually quite virgin.

I don't think giving a 12 year old a shirt that says "I faked it" is appropriate though. But I'm no parent so I can't really judge. I stand by my first post.

Fox and I were walking to the local 7-11 one day and we were confronted by two twelve year olds that wewre dressed identical (very skanky if I might add). So one of them comes up to us and asked "You got any smokes?"

To which I reply "How old are you!?"

Their response? "Twelve. How old are you, f*g?"

We stood there with the most dumbfounded looks on our faces. Needless to say, I was deeply disturbed.

Re: My Daughter's A Tramp, Isn't It Cute?
 

Wait, why would they call you f*gs if they were trying to score cigs...I would of sat them down and given them a stern lecture on their negotiating skills, and then shown them the proper way to get older kids to buy you illegal products. If those are our future politicians, I am scared.

Re: My Daughter's A Tramp, Isn't It Cute?
 

Dont worry.
They were girls.
:sneaky:

Re: My Daughter's A Tramp, Isn't It Cute?
 

It reminds me of the episode of Seinfeld where Elaine reveals to Jerry that she had faked with him. And it was funny.

It's wrong for a twelve year-old girl to wear a shirt with that message.

It would've been a lot more helpful for the writer to tell the mother the shirt is wrong instead of writing a comical essay about it though.

Re: My Daughter's A Tramp, Isn't It Cute?
 

Not really. Then the mom would get all indignant and tell the man off for trying to tell her how to raise her child. Then she probably would have bought whorier clothes for her daughter just to spite the man.

It happens... I hate people.


/me shrugs and walks away

Re: My Daughter's A Tramp, Isn't It Cute?
 

I totally agree with the writer. What's wrong with people?

I know a girl of 14 with a shirt "I'm a virgin. Unfortunately this is a very old T-shirt". :unsure:

Re: My Daughter's A Tramp, Isn't It Cute?
 

The thing I hate the most is the people who dress ...okay lots of piercings, hair color changes daily, clothes look like they came from a dumpster and they live in fear of imapiling themselves on the numerous wrist bands with spikes sticking out from them. and they defend themselves with "Im original, different, Im not being a trend whore" Now just recently I would be like...your f*cking weird without any reason at all, so I thought about and came up with its okay to be different but there is a limit and to live a healthy live you have to be socially accepted...

Re: My Daughter's A Tramp, Isn't It Cute?
 

See: Scenesters, emo, goths, industrial fellows and all their dumb sub-groups...

The problem with them is that they're not being different at all, and if they really do feel the need to express their difference and individuality through their physical appearance, I consider it to be fairly sad... And it's even more pathetic when they refer to themselves in some kind of godly way upfront, and only want to talk to other "elite, unique individuals" like themselves...
I don't run into a cases that extreme very often, but it happens...

Not that I think people shouldn't dress like that, it's all about the "meaning" behind why they do it... If it's because they want to look different and unique, well then they're doing a piss-poor job...

.... *snaps out of it*... Oh right, slutty infants...
We walked down the 6th grade hallway at my friends' school (which is both a middle and a high school) a few years back, and it was like something out of a horror film...

Re: My Daughter's A Tramp, Isn't It Cute?
 

DH, dont be so hard on emos. Some of their parents don't even make 7 figures a year, life is cruel to them and they need everyone else to know it.



As for little girls, it's quite disgusting. I don't think its right to point the finger at MTV, though...point the damn finger at the parents. Parenting has become an inconvenience to so many people and I think it's absolutely pathetic. A friend of mine has a 13 or 14 year old sister and all she does is flirt. With us 19-21 year olds, with older (30+) men. I've heard stories, she'll tease guys and then get disgusted at them when they actually show interest. I've talked to my buddy, I told him that if she keeps that kind of behaviour up, she's a prime target to get raped/abused. A bunch of my other friends were like "thats a terrible thing to say, dude, its not her fault". I seriously dont think Im out of line at all by brining it up, I'm just stating what I think is a fact. Better she knows it now, gets slightly offended, but does something to change as opposed to think everything's fine and dandy until some dirty old man does whatever and has her depressed for 20 years.

The thing I like the most about this discussion is that we are all quick to point the finger at the girls themselves and their parents, but never the boys and/or men who accept the girl's sexual advances and such.
