Girls: Too Sexy, Too Soon

This topic seeks to explore the fact that girls are growing up in a girl-poisoning culture where they are encouraged to look hot for boys, have celebrity crushes (on fully grown men), flaunt it and dress in a provocative manner. This puts girsl in danger. Developmentally appropriate content in magazines is drowned out by an emphasis on fashion and being body conscious. This limits girls freedom to explore other important facets if their lives. It also limits their opportunities to have healthy interactions and relationships with boys and men.
