Generation Me

This will be a short post. I want to post a few links to some articles that touch on the ‘me generation’ and the the related problem that is the oversexualization of young girls. I thought the articles were good enough themselves but it was even more interesting to read the comment sections, especially on the generation diva article.

There is a lot of argument going on out there as to what causes these problems, what we can do, and so on.  I don’t think anyone will debate that there is a huge problem though.  It’s so bad that some mothers  are dressing their daughters like prostitutes for the sake of pageantry, some kids think that teachers and professors exist to make life easy, and some Hollywood stars’ plastic surgery has turned them into something akin to disfigured Marvel comic villains.

I’m not the kind to worry about how bad things are out there, but the articles do serve to show where our society is going with its standards.  I read them more as a case in what not to do and what to try to protect my future daughters from.

Ok, I’ll admit that the plastic surgeries make me laugh a bit.

Here is the one on “Generation Me”.

The one about “Generation Diva”.

Plastic faces that may or may not make you cringe.
