Push up bras for young girls - Naughty or nice?
Isn't there enough pressure on young girls to look their best? When does a child's childhood end these days? All I can say is that I'm glad I'm a product of the '60s and was allowed to be a kid when being a kid was fun. Remember running around outside and playing? I'm afraid that 'playing' has taken on a new connotations today.
I'm including just one ad on this page for a push up bra for young girls and hope it gets clicks but no sales. I personally find the whole issue ridiculous. Let's see what you have to say.
Now, for those of you who grew up to be full figured women on your own (like i did...), here's a good article about Prima Donna bras for the full figured woman.

For what it's worth, here's a lens I wrote about Shatter Nail Polish - a perfectly nice way to dress up a girl's nails. Or, to slightly push the envelope, how about buying your teen girl a pair of sheer panty hose?
And, this lens was updated 9/1/11 when I found out that JC Penney had joined Abercrombie and Fitch in the sexualization of young girls. Scroll down to see the update on JC Penney's t-shirt which was recalled today....

A poll to see where you stand
I'm curious once again about your thoughts. Do you think that it's corporate America at blame or should the onus be on parents to keep their children from looking like tramps?

Push up bras for young teens
We already know how I feel about the subject but how about you?
Updated 3/30/12: I find it interesting to note that the girls who voted 'Yes' in this poll are all teenagers. Ladies, you're beautiful as you are and, as to appearing older, don't rush things. There will be a day when you wish you looked younger.
Should young girls wear push up bras?
Yes, it's fine. They're just becoming women a bit younger than they used to.
Brooklyn says:
Yes but not too early of a teen. I wouldn't wear a pushup bra until I actually have REAL boobs to put in a bra. So I wouldn't wear one until I'm probably 15 or 16, but maybe sooner if need be. See I'm 13 and I wear 34 A and I would like a pushup bra but I'm not necessarily in need of one. So in conclusion yes young girls SHOULD wear pushup bras, but only if they NEED them. :))
Brooke ;) says:
I myself am a teenager. 13 to be specific. I'm only a 32a and I want to get a push up bra too. Although I'm not rushing to go out and buy one. A lot of girls my age feel very self conscious and just want to feel good about themselves. What's wrong with that? It would be how THEY feel, not you. Also, for the parents who disagree, why not make them pay for it themselves then? I have enough money to buy a good push up bra right now but I'm not rushing to go out and buy one either. Anyways, the main thing I'm trying to get out is that instead of judging us, put yourselves in our shoes. Thank you. :)
elenaa says:
yes cuz, they help younger girls to feel good about themselves or more older
No, it sucks.
nicky says:
Hell no! Not unless they need it. I m 12 n i know. Some girls im my class hav very big boobs n they need it for support but i dont need any. The some means 2-3.
Ladymermaid says:
Let kids be kids.
DeannaDiaz says:
Self esteem is NOT attached to how big your boobs are girls! You are SUPPOSED to be a 32A, your still a kid for crying out loud!
Ruthi says:
No! Teenagers have enough issues with self-esteem without society putting an additional pressure on them. It is much more important that we teach our children about their value and worth as a person, rather than as a sexual being.

A true story about my wardrobe mishap a long time ago
So, as you can probably tell, I've always been very endowed. Some might think I'm lucky, some (including me) are not all that interested in toting around these things. Anyway, here's my story.A long time ago, I reported to a temporary agency for a short job - just one evening of entering data. There were about 20 women in the room as we were 'trained' on the system. The training was incredibly boring and, since my attention span rivals that of a rock, I was understandably bored.
I was leaning down to fiddle with my shoe, my hooters were under the table when the instructor called on me. I suppose he was trying to embarrass me as I was the only one sighing in boredom.
I sat up quickly to (correctly) answer his question and the underwire from my bra caught onto the bottom of the table. And, there were the girls out of their crate! Yep, right there for all to see, flopping over my bra. Luckily, my embarrassment threshold is a lot higher than my attention span and I just cracked up. Laughed my boobs off!

Another wardrobe malfunction....
JC Penney pulled a t-shirt after public outcry
What I want to know is what kind of designer thought this message was appropriate for a young girl's t-shirt? What is wrong with people?
Read the whole article by clinking this link: Texas-based J.C. Penney pulls "too pretty" T-shirt for girls.
JC Penney debate
I'm sure everyone already knows where I stand on the issue of putting little girls in grown up girls clothes. Where do you stand?
Do you think that JC Penney's t-shirt should have been recalled?
Of course! It's demeaning to girls.
Ladymermaid says:
Yes, it is time for major corporations to start being socially responsible to our youth.
Steve_Kaye says:
The responsibility for products like this belongs to us, the consumers. If no one bought one of these, JC Penney would remove them from their stores.
skiesgreen says:
Yes, another case of idiots in the designing trade
CruiseReady says:
Must have been an aging male chauvinist pig that thought that one up.
KonaGirl says:
There is no way it is O.K. to put out that kind of message to kids. It is not only demeaning, it also says it is OK to cheat in school. I don't believe in censorship except when it comes to young children and the parents should be the censor. The thing I don't get is that parents would buy it or allow their kids to buy it in the first place. They scream for a recall because they can't control what their kids are buying?
No. We're taking this stuff to seriously.

How do you feel about this lens?
I'm not sure I haven't sold out when putting up a lens about push up bras for young teens and might even take the lens down. I do feel that, by putting alternatives, like training bras on the lens, I've sort of saved a small piece of my soul...boy, I hope I get in heaven one day...
What do you think?

- I am so glad that you came out and said it. Let our kids be kids and stop putting pressure on girls to be a woman before they are emotionally ready to be. God they are going to be a woman for about 80 years and only a kid for a little while anyway. Let them enjoy being a kid.
