Is SEXY really sexy?

" I find the whole concept of being ‘sexy’ embarrassing and confusing. If I do an interview with photographs people desperately want to change me - dye my hair blonder, pluck my eyebrows, give me a fringe. Then there’s the choice of clothes. I know everyone wants a picture of me in a mini-skirt. But that’s not me. I feel uncomfortable. I’d never go out in a mini-skirt. It’s nothing to do with protecting the Hermione image. I wouldn’t do that. Personally, I don’t actually think it’s even that sexy. What’s sexy about saying, ‘I’m here with my boobs out and a short skirt, have a look at everything I’ve got?’ My idea of sexy is that less is more. The less you reveal the more people can wonder." - Emma Watson

The other day while at a Halloween Dance I noticed a few scantily dressed LITTLE girls. They couldn't have been more than 14 or 15 years old. Watching them dance and try to gain attention from the older boys was so heart renching as I realized that my own sister was their same age. What if she was out there with those girls, or girls like these before me? I'd probably grab her by the arm and lead her home to show her to my parents. No doubt, I'd be furious.

Another thought came to me as I then noticed all of the older boys reactions to these little girls. I was suddenly SO afraid for them. What if they walked home and ran into some "bad people" ... if you get what I mean. Or what if they decided to leave with one of these hungry eyed monsters (the older boys) ?!

Dressing skanky isnt sexy... it is what it is.... SKANKY. It invites unwanted attention. If it is by chance the attention you want, then I suggest you attend a prison, a brothel, or a teen mother's clinic and see where it can really get you.

I'm not harsh, I'm real. This is a serious issue not only for little girls but for women too. Women: be a good example to the little girls, and girls: be realistic in the results of how you portray yourself. Remember, you can choose your actions, but you CAN'T choose the consequences of those actions.

The very least thing that can happen is you will have a bad reputation for the rest of your life. Most of you are all "Oh it's just a reputation, it's not what's true about me" but the thing is, that's not how the rest of the world will view you, and you won't even understand the gravity of it until it bites you in the butt and you're feeling more hurt and beat down emotionally than you ever have before.

It can take it's tole on you. If you're not careful, you may even end up being the person that people already think that you are because of how you show yourself off and how you dress.

Show that you have some worth and dignity. Have poise and wisdom. Don't settle. Don't dress "SEXY" ........... because quite frankly, it ISN'T sexy.
