Why do young girls try to grow up so fast?

Question

In jr high (and even in elemetary school) soo many girls wear TONS of makeup, talk about boys or even HAVE boyfriends, and they swear. Do most girls do that?? i feel like everyone is growing up so fast, since elementary school. i feel weird because i dont really want to do that yet

Answer 1

Because the world is pressureing young girls to be thin and pretty. they see it all the time on tv and the computer.  

Answer 2

i don't know

Answer 3

It buggs the heck out of me I wish theyd stop...looking back I wish I hadnt grown up so fast *sighs*

Answer 4

They see shows like gossip girl or laguna beach and think they have to be like them, If you dont feel comfortable being like them it's ok, your going to find a group of friends that feel the same way as you. Believe me, I'm 16 and I'm considered that girl that looks good and has everything including the boyfriend. But when i see young young girls like 11 years old wearing make up and worrying about how much cleavage they have i just wanna punch them.

Answer 5

Yes i know exactly what you mean. My little sister does things i ddint do till i was 2 years older than her. The girls in middle school feel like they have to be older then what they really are to get attention. Whether that includes wearing makeup, swearing, or hooking up with guys. It all gets me really dissapointed but i tell my sister she doesnt have to do those things to get approval from anyone. Yeah she wears some makeup but if she swears i tell her to act her age and just stop, cause it really is unnatractive. Anyways.. impressing people is what every girl in middle school is about and once they get to high school it usually calms down and you get to just be yourself  with not as much competition

Answer 6

I know what you mean. Everyone around me seems to wear heavy makeup, talk about boys, and swear. It used to bug me. But now it doesnt bother me because I have friends that agree with me. You should enjoy being young. You can only be a teen once.  

Answer 7

ohmygod.

i know it annoys me so much.

they think if they wear eyeliner, have a boyfrind they hardly know and say **** and ****, and shop at abercrombie they are wicked cool.

i cant stand when little girls they HAVENT evenm had there period yet start talking about s*x.

just enjoy life as a kid cause once you grown up you will wanna be a kid again

thank you and good nighhtt(:

Answer 8

Middle School is all about that. I think it's because of the world today. Their role models are older teenagers and they think they have to look and be just like them to be cool. Plus with today, everything on today is ads for makeup and s*x and etc. I think it's horrible. Especially, the boyfriend part. I mean, boyfriend in middle school, then baby in high school is like the way everything is today. It sucks! I liked the 90's when everything was fine.

Answer 9

they just wanna feel more important and wanna show off cus they think they r kooler than evrybdy else

and this coming from a 14 yr. old freshmann :)

haha

Answer 10

I'm not like that, I'm 14.

Answer 11

idk, it's a little sad actually. because they're throwing away they're childhood.

to an extent, i kind of get... but in my case i just want to grow up, have my own house, no bills, no fights, i want to live alone. But im not acting like what im not.

i think they get curious and want to pretend that they're all mautre, and sophisticated...but really all they do is look like crack whores :[

Answer 12

i suppose most young girls do do that.

its good that you dont want to do that yet because the percentage of unwanted pregnancy in teenagers has increased.

half of these girls are going to end up pregnant or seriously damaged their lives.

Answer 13

went i was in elementary 15 years ago the early 90's that was going on also

Answer 14

Not everyone is in a hurry, but i know alot of kids are. Enjoy your teen years, becasue they will be gone in a flash.

Answer 16

yah its normal

Answer 17

I'm 13, i don't do that. I'm not really into that because it create s a lot of drama who's prettier. I don't use makeup and the guys like me best cuz i'm not girlyish and i'm real and natural. I don't get it either. I have crushes, just not boyfriends. I feel that a natural glow is better. And I mainly focus on my best friends, family and grades. Those are the main things in my life.

Answer 18

One word: MEDIA!!

I know it's pretty sad I think.

How different would the world be if there was no such thing as TV, Hollywood, etc.

Answer 19

Do They?

i never wear make-up cept eyeliner when i go out with my friends

i only talk about celebs and iv never had a bf and dont really want one either

oh and im almost 15

Answer 20

Iknow i am 16 and i am the biggest kid/dork/ i dont wear make up etc...

sadly some girls figure that i should get attention by putting my chest out

maybe so-and-so will like me

maybe if i use the new mac product brad will notice my smile

IT IS SAD!!!

also they dont get love 4rm plp @ home they arent told by their parents and sisters and friends that they are beautiful the way they are!

plus look in what time we live in plp dont care alot!!!  

Answer 21

I don't get it either I think they just look ridiculous

I enjoyed being a kid  

Answer 22

i think the media has a lot to do with the way young girls behave.  its great that you arnt like that. dont ever change who you are for anybody!
