The mother of the girl called 23ABC and said that she's making her daughter hold a sign that reads, "I was disrespecting my parents by twerking at my school dance," on the corner of Union and California avenues. The school that she attends does not outlaw the dancing style, the mother told 23ABC.[/quote] [url]http://www.turnto23.com/news/local-news/parents-force-daughter-to-hold-sign-for-twerking-at-jr-high-school-in-bakersfield-090913[/url] Way to shame your daughter.
I think twerking is really dumb, so I honestly can't decide if this is good parenting, or awful shaming of your child. Part of me is leaning both ways. Probably could have been handled better in private, but euuugh..
Good, twerking is disgusting.

11 years old and doing the twerk? I'm with the mom on this one. This young girl is only disrespecting herself by twerking because lets face it, it's a very sexual movement. And at a school dance? She might as well have gone up to all the boys and just outright asked if they wanted her.

[QUOTE=Zeke129;42174493]People have been shaking their ass for centuries it's only recently that we've come up with a word for it[/QUOTE] There's a difference though. I mean you can shake and dance a million different ways and be [B]very[/B] attractive doing it. But twerking? I've never once found it to be attractive. At all. It's a turn-off for me.
Elvis Presley faced outrage because he'd shake his crotch around basically you guys are not only prudes, you're 50s prudes facepunch's strange occasional stripes of social conservatism strike again
[QUOTE=Zeke129;42174493]People have been shaking their ass for centuries it's only recently that we've come up with a word for it[/QUOTE] 12 year olds don't need to be doing it.
[QUOTE=Zeke129;42174509]Elvis Presley faced outrage because he'd shake his crotch around basically you guys are not only prudes, you're 50s prudes[/QUOTE] I'm all for adults shaking their bits; do as you please. Being attractive or tasteful while doing it is the challenge.

The sexualization of young girls is fucking disgusting.

[QUOTE=Zeke129;42174522]you think back then kids weren't going and impersonating this big new rock star that came out of nowhere?[/QUOTE] To be fair; considering the time period you're comparing this to, there's a chance any kids that did impersonate him got beaten.

[QUOTE=Riller;42174529]Difference is, twerking looks fucking gross.[/QUOTE] why cant 7th graders dance in a more sexy way is my question
[QUOTE=thisispain;42174537]why cant 7th graders dance in a more sexy way is my question[/QUOTE] Exactly. Kids-just-entering-puperty will be kids-just-entering-puperty, they'll do stupid shit to appear 'sexy'. But Jesus Chirst, twerking? Girl, get an ugly pink low-cut shirt or something.
[QUOTE=thisispain;42174537]why cant 7th graders dance in a more sexy way is my question[/QUOTE] Because they're 7th graders. They can dance any way their parents allow them to.
[QUOTE=thisispain;42174537]why cant 7th graders dance in a more sexy way is my question[/QUOTE] Because they're under-age?
[QUOTE=Diealready;42174553]Because they're under-age?[/QUOTE] When was the last time you were around 7th graders? They will always try to be sexy. They will always fail at being sexy. It's just the nature of life. But holy fuck, can't they try in other ways than twerking?
[QUOTE=Zeke129;42174493]People have been shaking their ass for centuries it's only recently that we've come up with a word for it[/QUOTE] It's just really weird to see a 12 year old do what is essentially a butt-powered mating call. Not really worthy of a punishment like this though.
[QUOTE=Ganerumo;42174570]It's just really weird to see a 12 year old do what is essentially a butt-powered mating call.

It's not like they're doing this just because she went out and twerked.
I find it good that the mother is teaching her kid a lesson. That is a parents job.
Yeah twerking is terrible, but I think public shaming of your kids is even more terrible.
[QUOTE=Bridger;42174636]Yeah twerking is terrible, but I think public shaming of your kids is even more terrible.[/QUOTE] Not like you can beat them anymore. Kids these days have it really good. It's almost impossible to effectively punish them. They have nothing to lose.
my mom asked me to show her how to twerk

[QUOTE=Funky Pickle;42174661]Abusing children isn't effective punishment.[/QUOTE] And this isn't really abusing children. Worst scar this'll leave is a #gosh #fml on her twitter
How did she disrespect her parents when they weren't even there.
[QUOTE=Riller;42174669]And this isn't really abusing children. Worst scar this'll leave is a #gosh #fml on her twitter[/QUOTE] I was mainly talking about physical abuse.
