It's the same old story.
They'll eventually grow up. As adults we can worry about it all we want .. but just bear in mind that it's really nothing new. Is it right or wrong? I won't even get into that. No, I don't like to see 12 year-old girls dress like hookers but if not they'll dress like goths or hippies or rappers or whatever else is "in". No matter what adults and parents do teenagers will always be looking for new ways to fit in, express themselves, get high, get laid and be popular.

Same with the 60's, 70's, and 80's...
There was an article published in the Philadelphia Inquirer, years ago. The author's name was withheld until the next day. The article spoke to the problems with youthful behaviours, rudeness, inappropriate dress, etc.
The next day, the author's name was published. It was Socrates.
So, you're right. Same old news. My son is now twenty. Most of his piercings are gone. He's working and growing into a wonderful man.
