Almost One-Third of Girls' Clothing is Deemed Sexy, Study Finds

The problem begins with the overall view of sexuality. Women are overexposed. Men are underexposed. And that is ideological. I'd say most of men's clothing makes them look like clowns, underage nerds, or badly wrapped packages. Most of women's clothing makes them look as street walkers. Little girls with makeup? Tweens with bare belly buttons with rings? And this from the same society that sees sex perverts everywhere and screams how moral it is? Gimme a break, schizos.

I was taught from a young age to wear clothing that was flattering to me, but modest in covering. My mother taught that to me from the time that I first started shopping for school clothes and I've not varied from that, even in my Jr. and Sr. High school years when fashions were more risque. Now I am teaching the same to my girls.
The key is to instill in your daughters a good sense of self-esteem so that they are not swayed by the dictates of the fashion trends. Girls who have a strong sense of self will know what looks good on them and develop their own style and stick with it. For nothing looks better than a girl who knows who she is, likes the way she looks, and has confidence in both. She is the friend to everyone and a role model to all she comes in contact with.

Clothing like this is wear the term "prosti-tot" comes from. Why would ANY parent try to sexualize their child or allow them to do it themselves?!

I think the 84% of parents that answered the poll question "Are you worried about the sexiness of the clothes your children wear?", need to stop buying them clothes that would cause them to be worried about the sexiness of said clothes. Maybe it's because my daughter is only ten, however, I can't see condoning nor allowing it when she's older, either. I'm lucky in that my daughter does not like her midriff showing if she even raises her arms. That's just my thoughts.

I do believe the real issue is this odd attraction to little girls everyone is talking about. Seriously, we should get on this issue. Little girls are apparently just too sexy in their jeans with fancy pockets.

why can't we keep morons like fncao off of here when all they want to is advertise for whatever crap it is they are selling???

It's as though we are moving back to the 50s with the objectifying girls/women. Now Sketchers are selling athletic shoes for little girls to shape up their calves and butts. No such shoes advertised for little boys...what boys don't need good-looking calves and butts? This is disgusting, especially since the shoes for these little girls come with a warning not to wear them for extended periods of time, could cause injury!! What is this world coming to? Yes, the girls of today all dress like hookers, and that's pretty much what one finds in all the stores. I remember Bill Maher saying that one could walk down the streets in New York and pick out the hookers...now all the business women going to work as lawyers, doctors, execs., etc., all dress like hookers...push up bras with very low-cut tops, extremely short, tight skirts, stilettos. Now the very young are taking their clues from these women.

The question on the poll survey is stupid. "Are you worried about the sexiness of the clothes your children wear?" If you answer yes, it's because you buy or let your kids buy sexy clothes. If you answer no, it's interpreted to mean that you have no problem with your kids wearing sexy clothes when the reason you're not worried may be because you don't buy or allow your kids to buy sexy clothes. The question should be, "Does the sexiness of clothing being marketed to children bother you?".

Simple answer is bad parents. If parents don't buy those clothes the company stop making them. The companies are there for money if they don't make money they make changes. the fact is if you go outside a good 60% of those who have kids should not be allowed to have them. juciey sweats for 12 year olds, Toddlers and tiaras,brat dolls, 3 year olds in bikinis, 7 year olds with make up and piercings....I mean yes stupidity is rampant now adays but allowing these people to have kids is just wrong.

Don't forget to blame those whom the girls idolize. Ever see what Britney or Miley wear when entertaining? Choose any channel on prime time television and look how Hollywood has them dressing! It's even on those stupid Vampire programs! Kids want to look like what they see in the media, from the 60's Daniel Boone coon skin caps and Mickey Mouse ears to the leg warmers worn on the program, Fame. As a whole, our society has gone into the toilet. And it's all because of Hollywood!

Thank you, Holly. I, too, was taken aback by the stupidity of the questions and their little survey. It is rare that these surverys are properly worded; it makes me wonder where they get these clowns. Obviously, a high school diploma isn't necessary for the job.

Do i worry that my grandkid's clothes are too sexy? Nope. They wear what fits them and looks great on them. They're 11 and a size zero. Children's clothes gape and sag and are uncomfortable. They fit in junior stuff. I design and fit their sun dresses and skirts. Do I worry about them being too sexy or their clothes being too sexy? Not at all. They have beautifully fit bodies and poo poo the prude that would think that basic everyday clothes are too sexy. Their dresses are form fitted specifically for them. One or two of a kind. Being made that way, there are no gaps for accidental showing of themselves. Their skirts and dresses have bloomers, so even kid athletics can't cause them grief. Custom made, and altared to fit clothing help let kids be kids, with modesty.

The stores are not to blame but the parents are. They are the ones who spend the money and decide what to buy for their children.
If they wouldn't buy suggestive clothes then the stores would have to stop selling them.

Go into any public high school with no uniforms. It's outrageous how slutty and trashy the girls are dressed. I teach and it makes me sick. Why does our society think it's ok to let it all hang out? I for one do not want to see it. And the fat girls have no shame either...omg they are the damn worst anymore. Gross

This problem is extremely noticeable with young Mexican girls. Living in a heavily Hispanic area, I see every day girls as young as four or five dressed like hookers. This trend continues througout the school years and as the girls develop they continue to dress that way. As they mature and gain weight it becomes downright ugly. For instance, when a young Hispanic woman should wear a size sixteen or eighteen, they will buy size ten or twelve clothing and somehow squeeze themselves in to it and they look like overstuffed sausages. This seems to be a way of life for many Hispanic (mostly Mexican) women and is continued generation after generation.. I guess they think they are sexy, but in fact look quite ridiculous.

I have so much trouble finding clothes for my two girls ages 12 and 15 that are age appropiate. I took my 12 year old to Kohl's to buy a nice one piece bathing suit and they either had little skimpy bikini's or old lady type one piece suits. We have to cut their jeans into shorts because any shorts you find in stores are way too short. 'I'm trying to raise good kids,not hookers.

If your worried about it don't buy it!

I blame Hollywood and the internet plus the parents that buy this crap because they want their little girls to be "popular" and not allow them to have an innocent childhood. There was an article several years ago in Good Housekeeping about children having oral sex as young as 8 years old. Did not surprise me because the damn internet is full of any kind of crap that your looking for and parents could care less what their children are doing. How sad for this generation.

I am a crossing guard at a local Latino school. The children, at least many of them have decorated back pocket jean's, short skirts, the boys seem to be rampant with hair waxed to stand straight up in either a Mohawk or the front standing straight up.
The parents here voted in uniforms, the skirts are often too short but they usually wear tights under them covering up their legs.
As a rule thought they dress glitzy, wear a shoe with a small heal, they are most often modestly dressed. The one thing that bothers me is all the Hanna Montana photos on the back packs, she is not "example" of modesty for these young girls.
A couple of fathers today were saying that PORN is damaging our society, it is so "out there" every where to men who are becoming tainted and addicted to it. America do something!
