This world is doomed.

I'm currently watching a programme called "Pre-teen proms", which basically translates to "10 year old's with huge egos, and bitchy personalities; fighting for the best outfit, hair and entrance".

I wouldn't mind so much if these "proms" (which, by the way, is an American term) were just a school disco with a table in the corner of the room which had a couple of bottles of coke and a few bowls of crisps on it, but they're not. These 10 year olds ACTUALLY give a shit whether they have a limo, an expensive outfit, big hair, and EVEN whether they're "prom king or queen". I mean, seriously? I don't remember hardly anything from when I was at primary school. In fact, I don't remember anything from when I was 10. I think all I really cared about was cartoons, Britney Spears and food. 2 out of 3 of those are still true. (Guess which ones)...

Why would you want your children, when they're that age, begin to have competitions about what they look like, and about they're shitty little entrances on a tacky horse and carriage? And then spend hundreds and hundreds of pounds so everyone remembers them for possibly a few months, if that. I don't even understand why people do it for the main "year 11 prom", yet alone when you're in year fucking 6. I mean, one boy just got fitted in a French Connection suit, for God sake...but it's okay, because "HE LOOKS SO GROWN UP".... When, at that age, he just shouldn't. He's 10.

And they EVEN give a shit about whether they have dates or not, and that, for me, just takes the fucking cake.

One mother just said that she thinks it's important that girls begin to start plucking their eyebrows and shaving their legs when they're that age, because "society is changing"....again, who gives a shit?

A lot of parents can't afford limos and expensive clothes and go to the hairdressers for that one night, and you can't tell me that it's fair on that one kid that doesn't get that, and they're not going to feel like shit. Well done for ruining their childhood and making them feel insanely insecure before they've even gotten to Secondary school.

I don't know... I just don't understand why they can't just be kids. I'm so glad I didn't have to worry about, or think about things like that when I was 10. Fuck that.

Basically, this world is doomed.
