Tweens or Tweenies

This was first written back in like May i think after reflecting on a lecture that we were given about Tweens and Tween Culture.... yikes!!!

"So today when we got to our Human Development Lecture, it was all about Tweens (or Tweenies) and their place in today's society!

Wow, what an insightful lecture....

In 2006, Rawlings defined tweens as "children between the ages of 8 years and 12 years old".

All i can say after sitting through this powerful lecture is that flip, we need to think about what "tweens" are really seeing in society and explain to them that they do not need to grow up as fast as they currently think is necessary."

If you don't believe me about Tween Culture and how shocking some things are then just pop onto google or even look at some of the slogans on t-shirts that Tweens of today are wearing. I mean come on, there is now toys and costumes for Tweens which are like what pole dancers use and wear - that is just ridiculous!

WAKE UP PEOPLE AND SEE WHAT IS HAPPENING IN OUR WORLD!!!

IT TAKES A VILLAGE TO RAISE A CHILD - NOT JUST ONE PARENT OR ONE FAMILY MEMBER.
