[quote=Anonymous]I can't tell you if it's the norm, though I agree it would seem to be awfully young for that based on my experience as a middle school teacher. That said, it only takes a couple of kids (especially if they're the influencers for their grade) to do it and a trend can start. As for how to deal with it, I'm very comfortable telling my daughter that even if things may be acceptable for others, they aren't in our family. I'd talk about why your values are what they are - for example how people will likely judge a young girl based on that type of language, how she's responsible for the image she presents, frankly the lack of creativity and articulateness that it conveys (in my opinion), etc.. And then the rules are just the rules for our family.[/quote]
