All I know is that Mylie Cyrus Seems to Have Done Wonders for Pre-Teen Sexualization.

4. Kinda strikes me as child abuse.

Just like child 'beauty pageants' or those 'dance moms' type shows. Adults using their children as weird living dress-up toys and ignoring the responsibilities part of being a parent.

If kids were simply allowed to 'choose' whatever they want, a lot more of them wouldn't survive past childhood, or would end up with various chronic diseases early in life. Sure I believe in giving children more input into how they live their lives, but part of being a parent is setting boundaries to ensure your child is 'safe' both mentally and physically, and not a danger to themselves or those around them.

No boundaries? Welcome to the 'affluenza' kids. So give your kids some choices, but also teach them that sometimes limits exist for good reasons. And good gods, don't let your kids learn about sexual intimacy from tv, movies, their peers. No matter how squeamish you are about it, get in there and make sure they're getting good advice and information from you. Don't let your sons be taught by crap media that they want to be little 'players', or your daughters to be taught that sex will make them 'popular'. Teach them to respect themselves and their future partners.
