My Funny Picture

Do you ever see all these weird questions and pictures young girls are posting and?

Worry about when your daughter will be that age? I think thank God I have a son, I hope I never have daughters. I mean 12 year old girls are posting pictures to rate themselves 1-10!!! It's not just the "pictures" or whatnot. It is the never ending all consuming desire to fit in. I swear it was not that bad when I was a young teenager.

1. It is scary, but that won't stop me from not wanting a daughter! I will just explain to them the dangers of the internet, and keep a closer eye on them. But think of it this way, boys are the ones that are looking at photos of girls, and rating them too!
2. I have two daughters so I always wonder how they will be but I also have two sons and I hope they dont post there goods up either lol
3. i worry about the people who then do rate them. i would worry what i taught my daughter or didn't teach her about her value as a human. i would worry how i let so many outside influences influence her and her values. i am very grateful for my daughter and my son.
4. I know it's very sad and pathetic, i blame the media!! even high school musical has made my 7 year old niece worry about her fashion sense and says that she's ugly!, when i was 7 i was too busy climbing trees and drawing pictures!!. My daughter is 3 and when she's older i am going to makes sure that she feel secure and respects herself!!, I have already started, i tell her she is beautiful, clever and kind everyday because i want her to believe in herself alot of parents neglect their children's emotional needs nowadays thats the problem.
5. yes some of them about sex and it frightens the heck out of me whats the world coming too ! 12 year old girls need to protected from predators on the net not going there for moral support
6. If electronic communications of this sophistication and ease had been available when we were young, the same phenomenon would have taken place. And then as now, not everyone would participate.
7. It scares me! I don't mind putting up pictures of my children, but not for anyone to rate, just to show my babies off!
8. It's so sad, isn't it? It scares me to think that I may someday have a daughter and have to worry about what kind of approval she's seeking on the internet, and who she is seeking it from. I never want to be an overprotective freak to my children, but how else will i keep her safe? I am gla I am too young for kids right now.
9. I'm so with you! I'm relieved that I have a son! LOL! But, I also think, that if you raise a young lady to BE a young lady, she will act like a young lady in any and all situations. I was raised with 6 other sisters and 2 brothers (all from the same two parents, who are still together! 33 years married), and NONE of us girls EVER got into that gross way of thinking. I think it was honestly because our parents raised us to fear God, read His Word, and believe that we have been fearfully and wonderfully made in His image! We already knew that we fit in with the King of Kings and Lord of Lords! We didn't need to "fit in" with the world. We needed to stand out, and we DID! Praise God!
10. I think it's really sad now whats happening to little girls. Have you ever been into the little girl section in the store? Even wal-mart has some pretty strange things, padded bras for little girls, slutty clothes, and one store even had string bikinis for 6 year old girls! I think it's really sad, and I do want a little girl eventually, but I'm afraid that by then it will be cool to have sex when your 10! When I was a little girl my first bra had like the little mermaid or something on it, not lace and padding, and my first outfit for school was a beauty and the beast 2 piece, not a short skirt, knee high boots, and a tube top! I guess my little girl will just have to be a dork because she will not dress like that at that age, at least not with me knowing about it. I think kids are growing up way to early now... when I was 12 I was too worried about playing outside with my friends, and I don't think I had ever even been on the internet, let alone get on there, post a pic of myself and ask 40 year old men what they think of it.
