Wrong on so many levels.

These threads crack me up. Overly protective of 'young' girls and view it all as 'sick' until they hit late 17.. then the countdown starts.
Its merely a result of overexposure and the overall desensitization of our culuture. I don't know that its a bad thing - hell Elvis was considered provocative.
Personally I don't know how I feel about it. On one hand I hate how conservative/shy people are in general about sexuality and take a very liberal approach to the issue as a whole (nudity, sex, whatever) - looking to Europe for examples of how it "should be". On the other hand if it were my sister or daughter... well... again, double standards are never cool.
Ultimately the world is ever changing, information moves faster than ever before and kids/people in general are exposed to FAR more than ever before thanks to the internet, television and movies. A 12 year old today isn't what/who a 12 year old was 30 years ago.
It is what it is.

Everyone forgets history but not to long ago(before the 1900s), if you were chubby you were considered beautiful, and if you're fit you were considered not worthy of marriage.
Rule of thumb, if your child does not understand the full scope of what you're doing to them in public, DON'T DO IT unless it's school related.
400 years ago, if you're not married by 14 you're old and lonely.
