Tweens.
Please refer to the mindyourbody section on The Straits Times, 28.5.08. Just joking, you don't need background information to understand what I'm going to say, because I don't make sense normally.
Tweens = sexually aware children. So they see sexual desirability as their goal and would doll themselves up to achieve their aims. Is this a problem?
My take--yes. Why do small little girls want chek ko peks gawking at them and their slight breasts? Got money earn or not? If don't have money earn then what's the point in making yourself pretty and getting yourself hooked onto cosmetics at a young age? Waste money, risk rape. Che.
I mentioned seeing a girl who looks older than her age in the P5 camp, right? She looks 13-16, not 10. Is looking matured part of being matured? I don't know, but wearing hot pants and having a Ma Xiao Ling hairdo did mislead me into thinking that she's a teenager.
But I don't see how looking like a teenager can benefit her. I've been mistaken for being 18+ and in NS, and having surveyors swoop down on me for no reason isn't what I see as a benefit.
(Now I shall rant about western culture.)
And why do these girls have these warped iFeas on dolling themselves up for an imaginary audience? I'd attribute this to media, and western culture. Damn, my blood boiled.
Western culture. They started all the weird cults and stuff, like goth and emo. I don't think we would be doing experiments on our skins with razors if not for them. I see this part of the world as more conservative, or at least not as liberal as the people from the west. Maybe it's just me, but I don't like the iFea of having pop culture forced down my throat. That's why I hardly watch English shows.
Ever noticed how English shows always have the sexual element? I used to watch such shows late in the night in the hopes of watching couples make out and have sex. I'd only get to watch them take off and perhaps enjoy a bit of bra exposure, but that'd be enough for me. Or at least at that stage.
What does this underline? I was only in primary school, yet I've already learnt to group sexual stuff with Channel 5. And what's the big deal about me being able to differentiate between channels which might have porn and channels without porn? I don't know.
I'm beginning to lose sight of what I wanted to write. Possibly because I went to check on Runescape just now. Um. OK let's just say that I'm uncomfortable with young children with make up.
There's no honour to be gained from it.
And I hate western culture and its permeability. I have a problem with it.
I think I shall end here. I don't know how to carry on anyway.
Oh ya, fuck. This made me damn pissed lah. Why can't my Scyther learn Fly? Damn. Now I have to go get a pokemon that can fly, and train it. Dang, this is screwing up my entire pokemon team.
I'm playing pokemon crystal on my handphone by the way. You want?
