Is this an adequate answer for Wake Forest's Prompt: What Outrages You?
I become outraged when I see young girls (elementary to middle school) with cell phones, Ugg boots, make up, and designer clothing. I have nothing against fashionable dress nor modern conveniences, but these girls are not experiencing childhood as it should be experienced. Instead of riding bikes, they counting the number of friends they have on Facebook. Instead of reading a good book before bed, they spend their nights removing eyeshadow and lip gloss. They text and listen to their iPods on the way home from school instead of discussing the day's events with their parents. It is a hallmark for young children to want to act and appear older than they are, but I find it heartbreaking.
