I have seen some kids around here that wear some dumb a*s clothes, and they look completely stupid. Why do the parents around here let their sons walk out in those tight a*s jeans....and then they have them hanging off their a*ses. Why do you let your little princesses walk around like a woman of the night? Some of the parents condone it and it sickens me. I have never seen so many young men with girl’s hair in my entire life. Most of you should not be allowed to have children in the first place. What's even worse is that these kids think they are so cool walking around looking like a bum.. Good job military parents!
It's called personal style. While you might not like tight pants or super baggy pants other guys do. As for some of the young lady clothes i do agree that some of the stuff is way to adult for them, and sends the wrong message. Most of what i see on teens and children is just them trying to express their individuality and i dont' see anything wrong with letting them wear what they want as long as it's not too revealing or crude.
Jaymee, I LOVE IT!!
cK- this is one post on which I will agree with you completely. Let the beatings begin. When I was 15 or 16, if I walked outta the house looking like some of these girls, my dad would have stopped me with just a look. I have a babysitter who goes to Ramstein HS and even she commented on the hoochie mama-girls walking around. It is unbelievable.
I guess the long haired style with the gay clothes is back in style. Maybe I should go play ozzy records backwards now??? The parents are just as bad too. I see older women trying to be like their kids and they look even funnier.
like someone else said, clothes are the way people express themselves..I won't lie yes some of it looks retarded to me (like the skinny jeans on dudes -which i think is really gross- and the baggy jeans) but thats just my opinion and not my style..and i agree about the little girls...i've seen little girls showing every part of their "bits" it makes me GAG...my dad would've bent me over his dang on knee in front of everyone if I was showing my tatas everywhere LOL..(and older woman to this goes for you) you can dress sexy WITHOUT looking like a hoochie
Have ya'll noticed the "sexy" panties they now sell for little girls. I was at a Sears or some dept store back in the states and passed by the tables in the little girls section with the panties. I was like WTF!! When I was that age I wore all cotton underwear with the days of the week on them or something HAHAHAH!! I couldn't believe it!!
Ashml Im not sure what ages, it wasn't juniors I know that much, because I shop in the Juniors section. They were not cotton, they were that faux silk like material Im not sure what its called. I have seen stuff about it on the news too...
I have seen those RoxAnne! I've seen the silk type undies in toddler sizes! Cotton is the only thing a little girl should wear from a hygienic standpoint at the very least!
silk underwear for a little girl? that is retarded...yeah its nice to have some sexy underwear (even as a grown women) but they have sexy underwear in cotton...for a hygenic standpoint thats icky!!!
I agree alot of it is extreme but then I think about what the styles were when I was growing up or even look at some old pics of myself in school and all I can say is WOW. BUT to be honest I still miss the 80's and 90's hair dos - man I was good at those, lol.
I was NEVER allowed to walk out of the house in tight jeans or shirts that showed off what I didnt have yet.
In fact, I didnt wear pants until I was 13 years old. Until then I wore coolotts and skirts. No boy ever oogled me or asked me out on a "date" until I was 17 and I married the one boy who did want to take me out on a date.
I have been to the PX and all I can say is thank God I have boys! At least with boys clothes you have the choice between the ridiculous punk look or the more coneservative polo/jeans look. With girls there is no choice, there is the whore or slut looks and thats all you have. If you want a modest little girl you have to speical order or make it yourself.
Jeez crazyK.....Kids are kids, this is about the only time in thier lives when they can try to express themselves and dress how they want....they are going to have to conform soon enough and life goes too fast, let them be. just beacause we are in the Military doesn't mean our kids have to look like they are....I agree that some of the girls outfits are far too revealing...it's not cool to look cheap and I would not allow my daughter to dress like that...BUT as for long hair, skinny jeans, flares, etc I say let them express themselves...it's always been this way, mods, rockers, hippies, you try a style, you discover music...you think your thr first person to ever listen to Nirvana LOL ....its a natural expression, and some of those boys look good with long hair..once more it comes down to live and let live....
i have no problem with other peoples boys having long hair or wearing emo pants... it does not affect me. both of my sons have gone thru long hair phases and mohawk phases... let kids be kids, if you don't let them express themselves with their clothes they will most likely act out in other ways.
my cousin was not allowed to wear jeans and t-shirts until he went to college, his mom picked out all of his clothes, he is bat sh*t crazy now and hates his parents.
I was one of those moms who let their boys wear Superman capes to the grocery store. They out grew it but sometimes with kids, you gotta let them be who they are if it doesn't show too much skin.
Cassandra my oldest son wore a police officers hat for 3 months when he was 3, he grew out of it, no harm done.
I could care less if someone might look at me and go "omg her kid is wearing a cape". Does it really really offend you crazyK, if people do not dress their children in a way YOU think they should dress???? Maybe if it concerns you so much, you should moonlight as a family image consultant or a children's personal clothing shopper.
who knows, I just might decide I need to wear a ninja costume to buy bananas tomorrow...
sometimes it is ok to lighten up and not take life so seriously =)
The problem goes far beyond parents in a lot of cases. Girls are being targeted at a very young age to dress and act sexy. The role models for younger girls dress and act sexy. It's kind of programmed in from an early age.
Instead of just teaching girls to be themselves, girls are subconsciously taught to dress for men. Hence, little girls in bikinis.
I have no problem with the male or female body, it's just something thats become more apparent to me over time. I've watched my friend struggle to find shorts that went to her daughters mid-thigh area, instead of just below her undies or diaper line. It's ridiculous.
Little kids can be themselves but I agree, a growing girl needs to be shown what is appropriate or not. Boys need direction too but as children, it shouldn't be so straight forward on how to dress.
I DREAD the day I have to find appropriate clothes for my daughter! Even as kids they are pusing the line with some clothes.
Do the schools in KMC even have a dress code? We have windows in our guardmount room which looks directly at the Vogelweh school. 13-17 year old girls wearing "booty" shorts is a regular sight. It's not ok. Their parent's only seem concerned when their 14 year old daughter is pregnant by some Airman or Soldier. Then suddenly they become concerned and want to press charges. Sorry, but your kid has no business hanging out on Steinstrasse/Marktstrasse/Martin Lutherstrasse in the middle of the night. It's impressive how many juveniles we catch downtown past curfew, and upon notifying their parent's, their main concern is why we woke them up! So, since parents obviously don't give a damn, now we go straight to the 1SG and let them sort it out.
they should make the parents come to the station and let them see what their kids are doing, but then again they are more concerned about sleep then their kids...why even have them?
If you arnt strict about how your children dress while they are little then they wont take it seriously when they are older.
Don't get me wrong, I am not a pagent mom who has to have the perfect child all the time but I do make sure he is dressed as a young man ought to be at 4 years old. A nice non-holey shirt and a nice non-holey pair of jeans.When he goes to school I try to put him in polo shirts, I cant always do that but I try to make him look nice and not like a hoodlum from off the streets like his kindergarden age elders.
I hate these shirts with the skater pictures on them or the punk pictures. They have these at the mall and I am so happy to be able to pass that section up. Believe it or not people watch you and watch who your kids are and what they wear. I for one don't want my boys labeled by what they wear.
They are gonna labeled no matter what you do. Good or bad.
I would like for my kids to know that its ok to be themselves in the levels of decency. I don't want my kids to look homeless (shirts or jeans with holes) but I don't make every single thing a battle either. I don't think having a shirt with a skateboarder on it is going to change who they are as a person.
I can't wait to see the judgemental posts when I let my son get his summer mohawk, and dye it whatever color he wants. The looks are always awesome lol.
