I've seen a question on here talking about how great the 90's were. And one of the answerers said that she was born in 1989 and was talking about how in the 90's when she was a kid she didn't worry about nearly as much as kids nowadays do. And how she was just being a kid and not trying to act older then what she was like a lot of kids are doing now and that it makes her kinda sad to see kids act older then what they are. She also mentioned that she didn't wear makeup until she turned 14 in 2003 and said how she has younger sister who's 13 and is really disrespectful and how she looks a lot older then what she is. She also said that she was tired of kids acting like adults instead of children. The person who asked the question said she was born in 1990 and talked about how she once saw two girls who looked like they were 10 wearing high heels and buying thongs. She said that when she was ten (which would've been in 2000) that she was wearing jeans and watching cartoons and being a kid and she said that it was scary how much today's society was having an effect on young children. And she said that she didn't wear makeup or worry about clothes until she was 15 (which would've been in 2005). And the best answer for that question said that she was born in 1989 and talking about how she was being kid and how she saw pre-pubescent girls wearing makeup and heels and buying string bikini underwear, bikinis, and mini skirts. She also said that she had to agree about society and todays children. Here's the link for the question:

But i asked a question on here asking why do kids and teens act older then what they are nowdays? One of the answerers said that when he was growing up there were pregnant teens and stuff like that. Another one said that her mom got pregnant with her when she was 14 and that she smoked, drank, and did pot and that this was 1972. And another said that this stuff has been going on since the 80's and 90's and that it's nothing new. So i only said nowadays cause of what the girls said in that 90's question. And there's even a few groups on facebook like. "Your 8 years old why do you have a facebook?" and "you're six and have a facebook and an iphone?" and "when i was ten i had a coloring book and chalk not facebook". One of my friends said that she saw this six year old girl speed texting on phone and she was like "what is wrong with today's society?" And my parents said that they had pregnant teens and smokers etc back in their day. So i'm kinda confused, have kids and teens always acted older then what they are or is this kinda new? It just confuses me with what some people say on here.
