OK seriously. My friend's fourth grade son had a girl send him a video. At first I thought it wasn't that bad, she was lip synching to a song ... OK. Whatever. But THEN. Hold your breath. But THEN she pans down and A) she is wearing a little BIKINI and B) she does a slow pan down her body, pans up and does a sexy HAIR FLIP and C) this girl is NINE. YEARS. OLD.
AND -- kicker -- her MOM is walking around in the background so she obviously is fully aware of the whole thing!! Holy shmoly I was stunned. I mean ... seriously?!? Seriously?!?
Am I (and my friend) overreacting? I thought it was so completely inappropriate I could hardly stand it. If I thought the mom didn't know about it I would have said to my friend, "You should talk to the other mom" but obviously the mom knew what her daughter was doing. I have to say I am still just speechless about the entire thing. I mean, the girl is NINE.
Maybe this is just a sad, sad reflection on our society and how we're raising girls today, who are raised thinking their worth is connected to being "sexy" and having boys like them etc. Makes me kind of want to CRY. I just am still so, so sad about this, that a 9YO girl would feel like she would want to make a sexy video to send to a boy she likes. Is it too much exposure to guys singing to bikini-clad girls in videos? Is it just the overall society making girls sex objects? UGH. UGH. and ... wait for it ... UGH.
What's your take?
