You actually borrow clothes from a 9 year old?

Why not?her wardrobe is 10 times the size of mine.

You must not care much about how you look... I'd never wear borrowed clothes, everything I have is all about me.

Well, in the first place, I'm not a borrower. I'll always do without before asking anyone for anything. Second, it's strange to wear someone elses clothes, kinda gross. Third, picking stuff out of someone elses closet just shows that you don't care enough about how you look to pick out clothes with your own style.

If the clothes you've got in your closet is the best measure to define you as a person, you must really suck at Life. :p

Clothes are up there with houses and cars for defining yourself. Are you not an American or something?

Well if this 9 year has an extensive collection of clothes, then surely Geekbabe finds a couple of pieces worth borrowing. Besides girls tend to be very different about borrowing clothes than guys, as a guy the only way I'd wear someone else's clothes would be if I were caught in a situation where the airline lost my suitcase and I need to have decent clothes for something and I don't have time to pick something up. I might be wrong but it seems that girls borrowing each others' clothes seems to almost be a bonding thing, and there seems to be implicit compliments on each others' tastes. (please correct me if I'm wrong).

Besides, its what they see all their "rolemodels" wearing. Ever watch Nickelodian-sp??? The chicks that host the show wear low cut, tight shirts and skimpy skirts all the time.

Society is going down the crapper, please enjoy the ride.
Old people have been saying that about the coming generation since Rome was a great empire. :D

Old people have been saying that since at least ancient Greece, if Homer's Odyssey is any indication. :)

I don't see whats wrong with the way Jamie is dressed. It's what appears to be jeans and a t-shirt.. I don't even see any skin except for her arms (can't tell if her midriff is visible or not)

If I were you all I'd be focusing on those girls around her. The one in the white top and pink skirt, the one with the camera...definitely too young to be dressing like that...

yeah. the one in the low skirt and white top with the silly hat on is the one that shocks me the most.

There is a woman at my wife's work who has a 16 year old step daughter. She dresses however she wants, does whatever she wants, and has a 24 year old boyfriend. And the worst part is is that the parents almost seem proud. When they talk about her it's like they are bragging. Like it somehow makes the parents cooler to have such "trendy" kids. They took her to go get her belly button pierced, maybe it was her tongue...I forget. Then she comes into work and talks about how her and the step daughter talk about if her and the boyfriend have kissed......no....of course not. I'm sure a 24 year old guy is in the relationship for the intellectual conversation.

I'm thinking that maybe it's because her father (who she lives with) is divorced from her mother and he wants to make up for it somehow. I am completely blown away by it. I want to shake them and yell "WTF are you people thinking!". If I'm a father and my 16 year old daughter is dating someone who is 24.....I'm going to be in jail for a couple days.

Some of the girls at my school scare me. One of my female friends is 14 and has been in a relationship with a 20 year old guy. I even heard about one 16 year old girl who had sex with a 23 year old guy. Sorry but thats just wrong...I can see a 3-4 year age difference...one of my good friends is 18 and has a 14 year old girlfriend, is it young, yes, but I guess its acceptable...but 14-15 years old dating someone in their 20s is just plain wrong.

And how desperate can you get? if I'm 20-something, I'm going to be dating women my age or 1-2 years younger, not high schoolers...
