Sext Up Kids

Today we watched a video called Sext Up Kids and it really struck a nerve with me! In the video it talked about children wanting to look older and the every increasing pressure to be sexy as a young girl. Even children`s idols like Miley Cyrus are so sexually permissive that it makes it impossible to ignore the stars and their intentions.


One shocking thing was how much young boys are looking up porn! What happened to parental restrictions on computers?!


This film really upset me. There is no reason for a young child to want to look like a model and behave like a porn star. I feel as though boys just expect young girls to be open and accepting of behaving like sluts. It is almost as if the girls don`t add up to their expectations there`s something wrong with them!


What happened to childhood? Playing in the dirt, dressing like a child, those are the things that should be emphasized as a younger person. Not being overtly concerned with looks and impressing the opposite sex.


I think that children should have to be 16 and show I.D. to be able to purchase magazines that portray females as objects. Which is basically any magazine geared to women at all. Furthermore I think younger girls should have restricted access to computers, and programs that could be harmful to their self esteem. We are in a very technologically advanced generation, there is no reason why we can`t make those types of restrictions to protect our youth. RAWR!!
