Growing Up Too Fast?

I’ve always been of the belief that while children always try to act and look older than they usually have a parental figure ushering them back into the house and into something more age appropriate. Unless they’re playing dress up, then it’s all in good fun.

These are the Kardashian and Jenner sisters. Of course, Kourtney and Kim are on the inside. I think Kourtney is actually 31 years old, while Kim is pushing 30 herself at 29 years of age.
Do you think their Jenner half-sisters, Kylie at the far left, and Kendall, beside Kim, are in their 20’s? I'd assume so when the Huffington Post claims they are all grown up!

Kylie is 12 years old and her sister, Kendall is 14 years old. Though they’re both beautiful girls, I wonder if these outfits are the right moves. They look like grown women. And not to say they can’t help it, but when I look at this picture, they’re being dressed and made up to be sexualized. There’s something wrong with that.

Kylie is wearing what I think to be YSL Tributes. Super platformed high heels. And on top of this, she is wearing a form fitting, body con dress.
Kendall looks slightly more age appropriate with simple heels and a dress with…ruffles. But this is probably due to her being 14 years old instead of 12. She’s already modeling, so she’s already been rolled into that industry.

Though they have poor media examples (fashion industry, television *cough* Gossip Girl *cough*, a sister famous for a sex tape, etc.), they do have parents who should have prevented this. But everyone is too caught up in this race for fame. It’s sad.
Kylie cannot have entered high school yet and Kendall would just be starting…why do they look like they could be at the after party-no problems- with their sisters?

What do you think? Maybe with changing times, this is acceptable.

3 speak:

  1. They are obviously very tall for their age, and are influenced HEAVILY by their sisters wardrobe. They do look classy--but not like 12 and 14 year olds. Sometimes you can't help looking older.

  2. I do agree that they can't help looking older. But as a 12 year old, I just don't think one should be dressing like their 30 year old sisters. I mean, both of the younger sisters' dresses are shorter than the older.

  3. The younger sisters look prettier in the face. But I agree that they shouldn't dress like their sisters. I wouldn't want my teen daughter to be a sexy idol at a young age for gross older men. - sothir
