Winifred & My Sister
We were watching a documentary that was basically about the development of a girl named Winifred. She was exposed to social media at a very early stage in her life and was really influenced negatively in my opinion. I have a younger sister that is a freshman at our school and I feel like she relates a lot to Winifred. She is always on her phone and sometimes the way she dresses is questionable. This obviously brings up the idea whether or not she is too young to be dressing the way she does. In my opinion, I feel like it is not okay for girls at a young age to be exposing their body parts or to be dressing like Winifred. It's different when you are closer to becoming an adult because you are more aware of the consequences and your mind is more developed compared to a 10-13 year old. A 10-13 year old is simply dressing this certain way due to what they see on the internet. They are not thinking about the consequences which is something a +15 year old already knows. At the end of the day, everyone can make their own decisions and if that's what they want to do then we should inform them of the consequences. What do you guys think?

I think you brought up some great points. Although I do not have a younger sibling,it is questionable the way some people dress. I do think that many people base what they wear with what they see on the internet. Which is scary for the younger generation because there is a lot o things on the internet. I do think being older plays a big role in knowing the consequences and what may happen if you dress like that.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Jose because I feel like once you are older like in high school you can start to dress a little more revealing but not when you are around 10-13
ReplyDeleteI agree, I feel like the way some people dress is very questionable especially if your very young. I also agree that once your a little older you can start dressing how you want.
ReplyDeleteI agree, i have a 4 year old sister and i'm not interested in knowing how she will change later on. These girls wont always have someone to warn them of danger. And some know the dangers but yet dress the wrong way. I cant believe that with all the incidents reported, girls are not willing to listen. They will say i wont do it no more but when the next party comes up they forget about the dangers.
ReplyDeleteI agree on all the points you bring up . I dont have a younger sister but I have a younger cousin who goes to this school and her and her older sisters whos her guardian dress in a very questionable way. The Internet does play a part in dressing styles I've seen lady gaga live many times and I see lots of women and men dressing with little to almost no clothes at the concerts.
ReplyDeleteAll your points that you have brought up were really interesting and I agree. I have a younger sister and I have noticed a lot on how different our society is with the younger generation now. I know that Quinn and I were talking and when we were younger, we pretty much all wore clothes from "kid" stores and now a days, girls that are in seventh grade are buying clothes from places like forever 21. The internet has made the society different from the way that girls see their favorite tv stars, music artists, etc.. and they believe that it is okay to dress like that because they might be near the same age. I feel that parents should be telling their kids that they aren't allowed to wear certain things until they get to high school at the least and if that is too younger than till when they are a sophomore and then they should be okay with wearing certain things. But with the "creepers" that are out in our world today, we have to be careful on what we are wearing and what we are wearing it to.
