Everyone knows that young chlidren always look up and want to be like the older more mature people. Either adults or teenagers, you are setting an example for them. Soceity does make it hard for teenagers and young children (or tweens) to be who they want to be. Teens know that from an early age that they need to go to high school, college, and get married. While it is hard to keep up with the standards, everyone needs to be themself. But how can you be yourself when you expect to be mature and 'old' for your age. The younger you are the 'more mature' you are. Look at all the options you have to become 'older.' The newest way that you can become 'older' is by the new scandal that just breached. Abercrombie & Fitch is no stranger to scandal when it comes to their advertisements and clothing, but abercrombie kids is now under fire for their line of push-up bikini tops aimed at girls as ages 7-14.
Can you believe that instead of aiming at teenagers for ads, they are now heading towards second graders?! Just the thought of selling anything with the word 'push-up' in a store with the word “kids” at the end of it seems more than a little odd. Having the option of this bikini style not only seems to say that girls need to boost their busts at a young age, it also makes young girls a target for often unwanted attention. While the average age of puberty is 12, advertisers are now hitting it hard that young kids can reach that 'independence and older look' by wearing this. People need to realize that society really shapes us and it is really hard for teens and even kids.
