And the parents are too damn lazy to teach them otherwise. That, or too worried about the kid's 'self-esteem' to not let them dress like "all the other kids."
We could prolly link this back to the media convincing us that 'young' is what we should strive for, and parents start reliving their youth through their kids at a younger and younger age.
Friend of mine has a daughter who is 14 now, I think, and he's going through this with his ex, who buy's her this kind of crap. He found a pair of thongs in her laundry a year ago, and came positively unglued. Would'a loved to be a fly on the wall for that.
