I agree and understand the side of the father, he's just concern for her daughter and I admire him, for saying out his side, lahat tayo dapat maging aware sa mga pinapagawa at pinapanood natin sa mga bata sa atin, minsan kasi sa mga suot ok lang na super sexy kasi bata pa naman, pero I think dapat habang bata palang sila where in may takot at nakikinig pa sila sa mga magulang e itake advantage na un, na ma disiplina na sila para madala na nila yun pag tanda nila. Ako Im already 20 pero hindi lahat ng gusto kung isuot na susuot ko, or pinipili ko mga damit na sinusuot ko, iniisip ko muna if magiging ok lang ba sa parents ko if I will wear this kind of undies or clothes.

Totes disagree. Not that I am on the side of VS, but more of it's just a fun way for teens to incorporate into their closet the things that adults have. You know how teenagers are now. They want to grow up fast. Also, I was exposed into this kind of environment at an early age. (I lived in Europe before, by the way.) I think it's about how you raise your children and telling them that these things are for fun only. It's about disciplining them in the right way. Also, I think you should tell your child about this so she would understand and at least she got the information from you. Unless, you want your child to learn it from her classmates in school? But that's just my opinion. :)

I agree. I think that one of the factors that makes teens liberated are the products in the market today. I percepted VS as the manufacturer of lingerie not that suitable for teens. Besides, it wouldn't be that good to see messages like "feeling lucky" on your undies. It makes a girl/teen too much available to boys. Me, being a teenager, takes the stand of the father. If I would be a parent someday, I will totally fight this new trend. I woudn't want my child to be a giveaway to others. I am fifteen but I wouldn't want to wear something like those. I guess it depends on the person. :) more power Karla. I am an avid reader of your blogs. I felt sad because you always say that you only have a few readers that is why I made a google account. Hihi. You have a lot of readers. Go Karla!

Paano ako magsisimula? Hihi. Uhm. Agree ako sa concern nung father kasi iba na ang takbo ng isip ng kabataan ngayon. Mas malakas na kasi ang impluwensya ng media sakanila. Kung ano yung nakikita o napapanood yun ang ginagaya nila. Dapat may guidance pa rin ng parents, dapat mas maipaintindi nila sa mga bata kung ano yung tama sa mali. Ok lang siguro na maglabas ng ganoong brand ang VS pero sana dun sa appropriate na ang age. Kasi yung iba gugustuhin yun kasi yung mga friends nila may ganun o feeling nila ang cool ng dating nila, sikat sila. Nagkakaroon din kasi ng peer pressure. Iba na kasi yung panahon ngayon e. Sana mas maging concern pa rin nila o natin yung reputation natin, kasi tayo din naman ang gumagawa o nagbibigay ng dahilan kung paano tayo pakikitunguhan ng mga tao. O kung paano nila tayo tignan as a person. Minsan kasi dun din nagrereflect yung pagkatao natin tsaka yung parents natin. Yun lang ang opinyon ko. :) Don't look at it on a bad way. Thank you Ms. :)

This is sad. I grew up with my dad since my mom passed away when I was still in HS -- we are all girls. I thank God that He gave us a father who perfectly tought us how to grow up properly - with dignity. He did not expose us to all the wealth the world can offer. He did not teach us how to flaunt what we have. He always tells us that above anything else, we should learn how to take care of ourselves. . We grew up with pride and dignity. We entertain guys but we do not depend on them. We don't see that beauty = famous. We grew up being aware of how media massively influences our thoughts and opionos. He tells us that we shouldnt need to be "IN" to the world .. what matters most is that we have dignity. We don't need all the approval of the world. we dont need to be famous. We just need to be loving, caring, simple and honest individuals. . sad that kids nowadays grow up thinking what should they do to get all the attention of the world when in the end, when all else fails, the world will forget them. . but their parents who they disobeyed, fought with, will only be the persons who will be FOREVER behind them, who will hug them when they failed. I hope everyone knows the value of our parents. WE dont need everything there is. We only need GOD, our parents, our values . . God bless KARLA! <3

natawa ako sa (all 8 of you), you have readersss karla, keep on writing, your blogging style is far different from other bloggers out there. malaman.

Hi Karla! :) I told you I'll reply on your blog (tweeted you)! Haha! Anyhow, I feel for the father... I'm currently living in Oz... And I can really see the difference of teens here and teens over there! I'm not saying that they're bad or anything... They are just more liberated than us. I'm also not saying that it is bad to be liberated... It's just that, with what the media is trying to portray now make teens think that appearance are more important than their moral values and their studies. And nagiging factor sya for bullying. It dictates what's "IN" and what's "NOT". Children and teenagers should enjoy their youth. (Feeling old ako!) But honestly, they have their whole future to be an adult... Why expose them to those kinds of things when they can enjoy the simple things in life? It feels nice to be innocent because you will not feel the pressure to know everything... You'll not feel the pressure to please other people. More importantly, girls, ladies, and women are not to be sex symbols or sex materials! One thing I really admire about our Muslim brothers and sisters... People might think they discriminate their women because they are women but they are actually protecting them from the exploitation and lustful innuendos of the outside world. I hope that people from the showbiz industry will think of their influence to our young ones. There is more to life than looks! God bless, Karla! :) --- G <3
