Teenyboppers. They’re everywhere. You see them at the grocery store, at the movies, at the mall, and at the clubs on all-ages nights. They’re wearing daisy dukes that are shorter than those in Katy Perry’s new video, halter tops which reveal the bras covering their barely-developed bodies, and of course, pounds of makeup.

These scantily clad prostitots seem to be infiltrating the streets more than ever. Blame Miley Cyrus. Now that she’s proclaiming that she “can’t be tamed,” the 17-year-old is giving a big “F-YOU” to Disney by wearing the most revealing clothes possible, grinding against poles, giving lap dances to gay men, and engaging in lesbian-type behaviour.

Of course, Cyrus is quick to reply to all the negative press against her, by telling the media she’s “not trying to be slutty,” but rather she feels comfortable wearing a “little less” because she works really hard to be fit. She claimed that she was just “rocking out” with her backup dancer, and that her new wardrobe is meant to match her new record.

As for the lap dance, Cyrus’ father, Billy ray, simply said, “It’s what people her age do.”

If the parent of one of the biggest pop stars since Britney thinks this behaviour is okay, what kind of example are they setting for other parents?

Clearly, not a good one, considering that young girls everywhere are mimicking Miley’s every move. Not only are skirts getting shorter and shirts getting lower, but the behaviourisms of these young girls are getting worse too. Girls are engaging in sexual activities at a very young age, and teen pregnancies are more prevalent than ever (just watch MTV’s Sixteen and Pregnant for proof).

Miley’s not the only influence though. Gossip Girl’s Taylor Momsen is also running around in ripped stockings, garter belts, and raccoon-eyed makeup. To add to her “bad-ass” look, a cigarette is often seen hanging from the 16-year-old’s mouth. Momsen was also recently photographed in such a short bandage dress that her tampon string was visible.

Considering that these child stars were forced to grow up quickly, its no surprise that they’re in touch with their own sexuality at a young age. Let’s be serious, with all those hormones raging through your body, you were most likely thinking about sex when you were 17 too.

Like Dolly Parton said, “I remember when I was horny and young.”

But then again, Twilight’s Taylor Lautner was 17 when he showed off his shirtless self in all its glory in New Moon. Why was there no “media controversy” there? Somehow, the media has made it okay for boys to show off their bodies, but are quick to deem girls “sluts” when they show off theirs.

Ironically, boys aren’t showing off their bodies, even though it’s socially acceptable to do so. How many young male celebrities can you name who are flaunting their rock-hard bodies to the media? Perhaps celebrities like Miley and Taylor are simply rebelling against the media’s standards and trying to equalize themselves with men.

Unfortunately, prostitots are too young to really understand their feminist rebellion, and are probably just dressing, or rather, undressing, for attention.
