...yeah, but the thing with that is that your parents had reasons for feeling it was wrong to expose you of something/..and you did it anyway, without their knowledge and I'm sure they were great and conscientious parents..and the influence on every child of certain 'exposures' will be different..I'm not talking about The Simpsons, but this trend in the article and what those young girls are exposing themselves to....

...I do think though that focus has always been on 'image', from as far back as I remember, it's just that we have the internet now....
