why are kinda nowadays wearing all of these teenager clothing?

I went to the mall today, and was amazed at what clothes all of these-boys and girls-were wearing! Low jeans, tights pants, skater shoes, LV purses, and long big earings!!!! i could see a teenager wear all of these things, but like kids! The kids I saw were all the way for like 8 to 11! and ther parents don't even really care! what do you think about this? thanks for your opinion

1. and you wonder why they are pregnant at 13 years old ?
2. I think if your 16 you can get away with low rise jeans and big hoop earrings but 8 years old is way too young.
3. Kids are wearing those clothes because they want to be grown up and they want the "respect" that the older kids get.
4. Why da hell do u wanna know, if u have kids then u should write something like this or maybe its because your style must be in the 90's.
5. well, i cant say its a bad thing...i can just say its the style of 2006..and you know..style is style..
6. Beat the damn kids. ;] Hahahaha, no. I think it's gross. When I was 8 years old, I didn't know what makeup was. I knew what Barbies were, however. I'd never allow my future-children to wear makeup until they were mature enough to understand the consequences.
7. I you're right, and it's sad that kids always want to act older and can't enjoy the age they are
8. I don't get it either!!!!! Kids are not meant to look that way. It is unhealthy, and society will end up with kids more focused on material things than relationships, and family. Who controls these fashions anyways? Thank you for addressing this topic!
9. Well, would you prefer those kids running around in diapers?? Kids will always want to emulate the styles of teenagers, it's what they see as cool... So I expect the styles of clothing to be incomprehensible to anyone from a generation ago. As far as makeup & earrings go, I think that's where parents have to decide what age that chaos begins.
10. i kind of hate it when young kids try to dress up like teens. and i hate teenyboppers, too. so annoying.
11. I agree they shouldn't be dressed like that that young. AT the other end of the spectrum are that certain people in my age group, 40's, and older, try to dress that way too. I accidentally bought a pair of the low rise jeans one day, put them on, bent over and my whole butt popped out. I laughed until I cried then gave them to my daughter in law.
12. Some things need to be left alone. Such as kids being kids. Too much influence on the pre-teen market have the clothes and styles going nuts. Children should be dressed like children. Not like an older brother, sister or even adult. The things they come out with for children are too old for them. I believe this is on thing that causes kids to grow up way too fast. When parents feed into this it only makes it worse.
13. I think it's sad when little kids want to dress like teens.That's a right of passage is changing your style,now of course little kids want to look older. It sucks and makes you wonder if the parents care at all.
14. what i think is weird is little kids think its so cool to act older, but lately being a little kid when your a teenager is "in" like having spiderman and myscene and hello kitty and ninja turtle backpacks and what not...i think that this is OUTRAGEOUS! and the fact that the little girls section is becoming mor appealing to me then the juniors section BLOWS my mind...seriously!
15. Its called a new generation and a change of style... things aren't as conservative as back in the old days
16. I think it's okay to shop at places like American Eagle and Aeropostle, but if you're wearing low rise and tight jeans and stuff that shows A LOT off, then you shouldn't wear it. I mean.. it's okay to carry purses from LV!! But some parents let their kids dress like that and I don't think that's okay..
17. the clothes are fine
