Growing Up Too Fast
Growing Up Too Fast
ENGL -1001-
A lot of people think teens are growing up to fast. In the book “The Longman Writer” they are calling kids from 8 to 12 Tweens. Why? because the new teens are starting at the age of 8 to 12 years-old now. “Nickeloden –Yankelovich Youth Monitor found that by the time they are 12, children describe themselves as “flirtatious, sexy, trendy, athletic, cool.”(p.213 ch.12) Kids are growing up too for their own good. Well I think kids are growing up to early; 8 and 12 year-olds need to act their age. “Dramatic physical, mental, and social changes take place during the tween years.”(About.com).The reason why children are acting to grow, because their parents are letting the children do anything they want. Growing up to fast causes kids to wearing makeup, sexy clothes, and getting arrested at an early age. Why kids are growing up so early, because kids are in grown folks business.
It is time we take our children back from the streets and from growing up to fast. We need to talk to our children; one on one talk. We need to pick their brain to see what’s going on in their head. We need to stop letting kids be in grown folks business.
