You speculate that young girls wearing thongs somehow condones "negative" sexual practice. I believe the wearing of a thong has little, if anything, to do with that. You also stated that parents who allowed their girls to wear thongs are "sick" and "bad parents". There's not much of an argument that can be made against that, as you give no reasons for your opinions; suffice to say that I disagree with you on that point.
And yes, I did come off rather strongly, because it irks me when people throw out personal attacks in discussions that are primarily based on someone seeking advice.

In addition to these points, parents had best be careful about how much they protect their kids. Speaking as a high schooler, I can very safely say that the kids who are totally sheltered and protected are the ones who fall hardest when they go out and party. A good many "good kids" whose seem to be model citizens with active parents are the kids who go out and get absolutely hammered, do all varieties of drugs, and generally run wild. Harmless stuff like underwear like this is not a battle thatshould be fought.
Not to mention that in all honesty, I can't imagine a girl wanting a thong to go out and party or do other bad things at 12. If she wants to do bad things, she'll do them with our without the underwear and probably wouldn't even bother asking for it. I'd tend to say she wants it to be "cool" and because of peer pressure. It really isn't a big deal.
