A few weeks ago we discussed in class how stores such as abercrombie kids and limited too are selling clothing that are to scandalise for children. I agree that abercrombie should not be selling things such as thongs and shirts that cut low for little girls, and shirts that say inappropriate things for young boys. I think some of limited too clothing is to mature for young girls as well. They also sell thong underwear for young girls and shirts that cut to low and stay inappropriate things on them. These stores are all competing with each other therefor they all sell around the same things. Kids always want to be older and dress older and these are the clothing they want. I feel they should find a good role model to represent there stores and loose the image they have to gain more respect from parents, along with selling more clothes that are more kidelike. I think someone like Miley Cyrus from Disney channel's Hannah Montana or Zach effron from high school musical would benefit them. I know if i were a parent i would never let my child wear thong underwear or shirts that say things like "your boyfriend says hi" etc. Children wear these things not knowing what they mean and it even makes the parents look bad for buying them. I would want my kids to be able to be young and be a kid while they can, instead of pushing them to look older and wear such clothing.

Great points!
It's very true that most of these kids don't realize what those sayings mean or how odd it is for a little girl to where a thong.

I agree with you...if I had children, they would not be wearing that sort of clothing

First off, a lot of children do not understand what these things say and begin to ask questions and learn things should not learn at such a young age. I feel that we are robbing children of their innocents. There is no reason a 12year old little girl shold wear underwear that says "I've missed You".
