Why?

Our young girls walk into school with short, too short shorts and loose tank tops...it is not appropriate. How did our youth become cheap and well, sleazy looking..?? Calvin Klein! Ever since the Brooke Shields commercials that proclaimed "Nothing comes between her and her Calvins" youth became a market. A market for fashion and for portraying fashion as something unattainable by adults. Thus jeans , the backbone of the working man, become fashion and "designer" and botox necessary...no one can compete with a sexy 13 year old in skin tight jeans...a knowing 13 year old. A new merchandise market born...and we accepted. Lolita's charm was that she was unaware..but in "our great age" we prostituted our youth for wealth for the few, and an aging complex for everyone over 25. We bought it and sold it and now we live with the consequences. Life and its stages are not beautiful...Levi is not good enough and wrinkles are the enemy..... J Brand, Botox, even men wear Spanx...we beg for youth but "time"s winged chariot "carries all of us "off". Accept the stages of life like seasons because they are our teachers....accept and learn. Please..preserve childhood .
