Our young girls are dressing more and more like little whores than little girls. They are also learning very early in life that sex can get them the "bling bling" jeans and sneakers they want. That in itself is bad enough but where they learn these behaviors is even more disturbing. Not from music or videos but from home.

With grandmothers and mothers getting younger and younger the role models young girls have to look up to are getting few and in between. You have young girls and women with children still trying to have a "life" and doing whatever to fund it

You would have to be a damned fool to think the kids don't know how mommy or auntie uses men to get bills paid or how certain men are only around when the rent or car note is due. What a grown woman does to support herself is her business but it sends a bad message to the children. The little girls see the material gain but don't learn about the sex related diseases, unwanted pregnancies, stalkers, or baby daddy drama until it's too late.

I'm begging all young women with children to think about what you do and say in front of your little girl, if you want to be a hoochie mamma (read whore, let's call a spade a spade) that's on you but give your little girl a choice...
