This week’s question is based on the picture, Julie posted here:
If i will think of a perfect world and imagined the location as a place far away from the city — then INNOCENCE would be the first thing comes to my mind when i saw the picture.
But looking at the picture again and woke up to reality, i would agree the same sentiments with you, teacher Julie. Seeing the picture sends warning signals to my brain that what she is wearing and where she’s at is not appropriate. Kids clothed like that should never be exposed outside of our bedrooms no matter how hot it is. (not judging eh) I think we parents just become too paranoid because of the rampant news of kidnapping, rapes, and killings – that as much as possible, we have to hide away our kids from the people with sick minds (strangers) and the sad thing, they even exist within the bounds of what we call “family.”
Having a child who is a girl – i was a bit strict on this, often asking my mom where my child is, who is she with, what she was wearing because i just don’t like it will happen to her what we often hear on the news. Now that she is growing up (magdadalaga) am so conscious of the way how she wears her short and tops. Good thing is that she does not like wearing clothes that bares so much. Even her arms – nakatago.
My older daughter is 12 and will be turning 13 soon. I am just glad that she doesn’t wear fashionable, revealing clothes like some of those belonging to her age group.
Yes, I agree that there are so many people with evil minds these days,and relatives can’t even be trusted these days.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts, Arlene.
Have a great week and take care!
that is so true Arlene…even if they are merely kids and what they are doing is innocent, that doesn’t mean people would view them as something to be treasured…some are out there to exploit them…ah, the harsh reality of our world today….
