Walking through the mall we see the clothes that the people around us are wearing and sometimes we think, 'hey that's a cute outfit' if it's a girl, then we look at the person wearing it and we realize that the person wearing it isn't even old enoough to vote and she's wearing something that a "working girl" on Stockton blvd would blush to wear. And for me I always want to say to the girl "How old are you? And does your mother know that you are wearing that?" It reminds me of the tide commercial where the dad see's a skirt hanging out to dry realizes 'this can't be my wifes that means this is my daughters' and proceeds to make it dirty so that she can't wear it. I applaud everytime I see that commercial. It showing what a parents reaction should be when their child is about to dress like a hooker. I want to reach out and smack the mom because she just enables her child to wear something that is not age appropriate. I understand that some girls and women follow fashion diligently, and yes for a brief period of time I wore that kind of appreal. The thing was I was in my twenties when I did. I wasn't in my teens. Parents who think that letting their female children wear clothes that a hooker would sport on Stockton Blvd should not be surprised when that daughter at 18 is pregnant or already a mother. If you want your daughter to stay "clean" don't give her the tools that will aid her on the path to early parenthood. Frankly I have said it before to change the behavior take away the enablers....Or perpared for being a grandparent when your child is still a child.
