Long, but worth it.
I understand that many people will not agree with what I say. 
And many of you won't even bother reading because it isn't witty-pretty.
That's okay with me as long as you just try to understand my point of view.
Well, recently there has been lots of talk about how
kids and "tweens" are growing up too quickly.
Okay. Maybe they are, but not as drastically as you think.
*Oh my goodness! That girl that looks like she's 10 has a phone!*
Perhaps she isn't 10. Maybe she is just young.
Who knows if that phone even belongs to her?
And if she is 10, maybe her parents got her that for safety reasons. 
Who knows if one of  her relatives was kidnapped?
Not once have a ever seen someone who is younger than 15
Walk into a provovative store that sells mature clothing
Without an adult
Okay, so this 10 year old walks into Victoria's Secret with an older person.
That doesn't necessarily mean that they were buying themselves things.
I am pretty sure when we were all younger,
We were dragged into a store that we didn't want to go into at least once.
*OMG! These kids that look 11 are holding hands!*
Again, I am going to bring up the,
"How do you even know their age?" point.
Also, how do you know their relations?
They could be family
Or just friends.
I held hands with my friends when I was younger. Sue me.
And who knows what either of them are going through. 
They could have been going through the same tough times
Also, many people underestimate the emotions of the younger people.
"Don't grow up too fast."
That is all that people say.
Maybe growing up is an escape. To get away from the horrors of home.
"You're young, you wouldn't know."
Who knows what that child has been through.
Maybe more than you or I. That is very possible.
Just the other day, one of my neighbors was crying.
She was at the mall at a store called Justice.
She was buying a peice of clothing for herself.
There were these older girls who laughed at her saying that 7 year old are too young for those clothes.
She's 11. She can't help her body either.
OH and one last point.
You know who the romodels of those kids were?
OH yeah... us.
