when there out on there own they can do what they want becuz she whould be grown.

Why isn't there an 18+ option on this poll?! When you become an adult, you can choose what to wear, although even then it's not always a good thing (think: What Not to Wear. Stacy & Clinton have jobs because adults can't dress themselve appropriately!) Children shouldn't be allowed to focus all their self-worth on their image alone and this is just another product giving them the wrong impression! What happen to the good old days where wearing makeup as a teen was a big deal?!

I also think there should have been an 18+ option on the survey. I would have chosen that. I chose "never" because the next possible age on the survey was 15+ and that is way too young. I think there needs to be more clothing options for teens that aren't so low cut, also.

I believe that young girls today want to grow up to fast...puting a pushup bikini out on the market just gives pedophiles another reason to target young girls they might as well ware a sign that says "HEY PICK ME" ......I mean come on seriously what parent in there right mid would let there 11 or 12 year old daughter ware a pushup bikini?? Let's just let kids be kids

I think that the responsibility to regulate comes down to the parent. The retailers wouldn't be making the clothing if someone wasn't buying it, so it is more a problem with parents not wanting to enforce rules in their households about appropriate versus inappropriate clothing choices, than the retailers selling the items. I think as a society we have started wanting our children to be our friends and like us instead of being parents.

I totally agree with Autumnkat, she must be reading my mind...
-
Children should be allowed to be children. If we allowed girls to feel comfortable in their own bodies more often we might not have so many insecure women
-
The clothing manufacturers will stop producing this stuff when we as consumers stop buying it. What parent in their right mind would even consider buying this junk anyway.
-
Why are companies trying to make little girls grow up so fast?

I think that parents need to give their daughters guidance about the inappropriateness of a young girl wearing a push up bra. If no parents allowed their children to wear it, it wouldn't sell and they would stop selling it. I think this is the same company that marketed thongs to young girls. I think it is a publicity stunt on the part of the store to get people talking about the store and maybe people will stop in and buy other things. I personally will never shop there again.
