When I read your post, I was utterly shocked. I can see why you were angered by this because it is complete idiocy what young girls are being taught nowadays. If I was you and heard that little girl talk about “real beauty” being what is shown on TV I probably would have made a rude remark to her mother. But you clearly have more restrain than I do. I have two little sisters who are twins, they are turning 10 next month, they would come to me and tell me stories of what their classmates of the 3rd grade talk about and what they wear. I am stunned each and every time a new story comes to me. Apparently fashion, looking good, and fitting in is the main concern on a 3rd graders mind. I remember when I was that old the only thing I cared about was who I was gonna play with after school and what we would be playing…tag or house. My sisters say that they get picked on sometimes by the other girls in their class because their clothes aren’t as “flashy” as the other girls. Flashy as in the sense of having rhinestones all over their shirts and pants and tight leggings with short tops. This disgusted me of course but I was glad to know that my sisters are at least staying true to themselves and know that certain things are not appropriate for school nor for their age. They also tell me that girls wear make up to school and some of them have their hair dyed blonde to make it platinum blonde rather than staying true to their dirty blonde hair. If my sisters asked my mom to dye their hair I think she’d laugh in their face and send them to their room for even asking such a question. Haha. But in all seriousness, it is truly sad what this has come to. Its awful to see that mothers are not trying to educate their children on what is right and to try to make them better human being, and are rather teaching them how to walk sexy so they can get a man. That is appalling.
