Young girls in today's society are very pressured to grow up faster then they should. Girls as young as 10 to 14 years old are wearing makeup, dressing up in mini skirts and tube tops, and high heels. Girls this young should not want to be wearing makeup and dressing up to impress the boys, they should be outside playing with the boys, jumping rope, or simple fun kid games. Even when a girl plays with a barbie or a brat doll, they are faced with this beautiful made up doll that they try to idealize because its whats popular. Another thing that has a huge impact on young girls is there musical idols. I know when I was a young girl, my ideal was Brittany Spears and Christina. Spears was only 16 when her hit song "Hit Me Baby One More Time" came out and in this video she was very sexualized to entertain the male fantasy. When young girls watch their ideal on TV they wanted to be like them and dress like them because it is how they want to be. This is a major problem in today's society that such young girls are being sexualized so young and practically brain washed to grow up so fast into this sexual symbol for men to fantasize over.
I agree I am a Huge Britney fan and too see her looking 23 at age 16 is pretty crazy , it definitely is pressure at a young child's age to look or a act a certain way. But I honestly feel bad for the kids growing up now because they honestly won't truly be kids because of today's peer pressures
