Thongs

---

there is no overall solution. There are bad parents out there, and they don't educate their kids, so the kids get their, information and influences from other sources, tv, porn, magazines etc etc.For me the solution, is upfront honesty about sex, relationships, emotions etc etc. I answer any questions my kids come up with, the most important thing for me is they are informed about as much as they can take in............this differs from year to year obviously...........being able to talk to me about things, whatever they are will hopefully fingers crossed help them to get the right information, and help them understand the emotional and physical effect of having sex etc etc.........there is no way my 9 year old would wear thongs LOL

There must be more parenting issues in the U.S., because there are more teen pregnancies...although the rate has been dropping, even with the increase in thong wearing.

There are a lot of kids in the U.S. who are fooling around, and who've had no sex education at all. If more parents were like you, the teen pregnancy rate would undoubtedly drop.

I think a lot of it stems from the parents parents, if you get my drift. Lets face it 50 years ago it wasn't 'right and proper' for people to know you had sex, never mind talk about it, i think to some extent that has to be a cause, however small............it just isn't done......I think the more people are informed, and sex is not seen as a taboo, the more people will be able to be honest about it, and hence kids will not be 'out there' on their own learning from the wrong sources, hopefully, the generations to come will be more open and able to talk to their kids and the problem will lesson.Its not just the US steve, teenage pregnancies, are rising over here........i think its a global problem, and i have no idea of the solution, except that i talk to a lot of young people about sex, and relationships etc, being a youth leader, and the way i am, they feel more able to talk to me than sadly their parents.

There are two issues: encouraging teens not to have sex, and making sure they understand birth control if they insist on having sex. The U.S.'s idea of "just say no" doesn't seem to be working. Religious elements in the U.S. government are doing everything they can to stop sex education beyond abstinance. Catering to the religious right is a big part of the national policy.It would be good if more parents or organizations would step in and fill the gap. I know that progressive churches, like the Unitarian-Universalists, teach about sex in their Sunday school classes. I don't think the Southern Baptists do.

Why is sex not looked down upon in Europe, yet they don't have the problems that the U.S. has?Why is it that pornography is so looked down upon in the U.S., yet it's one of the biggest industries? Since sex is looked down upon, it is considered "bad" or "forbidden" which makes ppl want it more and they make it seem almost like a crime. It flourishes that way, in a bad way.

Girls just don't get it that it's not a turn on to see a thong hangin out of their ass like 5 inches above their pants. It's just a call for attention and them pretending to like a string up their asses.

people are afraid to talk to kids frankly about sex, as they think it will encourage them to do just what they are trying to tell them not to, a bit like the drugs information over here.I also wonder if parents 'think' that their kids are getting a sex education at school, and therefore don't bother to do 'the talk' at home............

It seems like EVERYWHERE is becoming more out of control overtime. The dissapline level in school is different than it used to be according to my schools music teacher. He said when he was a kid (almost 50 years ago) that when a kid got suspended, the kid would get zero credit per day he was out and couldn't make it up. Now it's more like a vacation where you play videogames, then come back and make it up.

I agree, it seems the more PC we get the worse things get..........teachers don't have the same respect anymore, is that because they don't have the same 'powers'............the police arn't respected anymore, is that for the same reason, and if there is no come back for kids these days, why the hell shouldn't they go wild.......the only people who can pull them in and bring them up to be respectful in the first place, are the parents, and some do a dire job

I agree on that i am good in class and i feal for some teacher when we have a really naughty class. Its just my peronal apinion that she should be alowed to where them if she wants 2 my mum loves us and we love her she not letting her do any thing worng i dont think and she brings us up well i think a lot betta than a lot of other mothers.

My girl frind also wears thongs all the time she says you dont get a wedgie coz they already up ur ass 2 so u dont worry about it. She also get on really wel with my sister and she took my sister shopping the other day and got my sister 5 more thongs.

I think that is cool for them to both get on and buy thongs 4 each other my g frind looks after my sis a lot and takes her out, only thin i think is a bit wired she got my sister wering little bras even though she dont have anything dere lol. But i dont care i love my sister and my g frind very much.

Come on people anybodys opinion would be great thanks.

What is it your wanting an opinion on?

Your thoughs about the topic! Wel my sister owns about 12 thongs and lots of knickers, wel to day my mum had gone and bough her sum knickers and she said to my mum dont be silly i only were thongs now, my mum said why, and she goes wel only the unpopular girl where knickers and they keep going up ur bum and thongs dont coz they alredy up there. So mum goes and takes them back and gets her thongs insted. Wel my sister alwasy wears her underwere high weather it a thong or on odd acation knickers, i asked her how many other girls where thongs then and she said only 1 other but she only has thongs and no knickers and she said that they both where them high and it makes all the other girls jealous at school. I dont know if she should be alowed 2 where them but keep them in her trousers, or she should only have knickers or the other girl be alowed them if they jealous. I asked my mum and she said it up 2 her and it dont matter what she weres down there or how high they r she said they only come out coz she playing and bends down and sits down a lot. Wel i think it ok i supse and if dat more comflatbe den ok and that how she chooses 2 where them what is eveyy 1s elses opinion. Does any 1 else where them who is young or wore them at a young age or have a younger sis who whear them

Sinse mom approves then don't worry about it, but how old is sis, her age would effect my thoughts on the matter?

8

An 8 year old should not be wearing thongs, nor bras really. But what is also very worrying is that you seem to have counted her underwear.

To me, and my stoggy old folks ways, that seems a lttle young. I would say it was fine if the underware stay below the belt line but when they come above, I think that verges on sexualization of a child. That means little though people do that all the time in modern society. I don't get why kids and parents are in such a hurry to grow up. At 8 she should be concerned about My Little Pony" or at least concerned about Barbie's thong but not her own. Least that's my take on it.Now having said that, I have no childern or any plans for them in the near future. These statements represent my opinion only, so don't flame on me.Lastly, if she wants to ware them and mom is okay with it, let it go the decision is out of your hands.

Why does your sister's underwear interest you so much?
