Alexandra O’Dell, a student at North Idaho College, does a great job of integrating data, interviews, and images in this 11-minute video about the sexualization of young girls in the media:

I wanted to put this video in the Video and Multimedia forum but ... anyway.

2. hey... i watched this, this morning, lol.

3. It is long, but I thought it was compelling enough,

that it could get the attention it deserves.

It's so sad hearing those girls talk about themselves, and what they perceive that boys find attractive.

4. Wow. That was sad to watch.

Thongs & push up bras for little girls. Pole dancing dolls. Even female cartoon characters are sexualized. Shit.

It's sad that we are so immersed in it, that many just don't see it. So they buy the bras & thongs & pole doll for their little girls & I wonder how the hell that little girl ever has a chance of being in a healthy relationship.

5. What sickens me is that it's no mystery what girls go through because of this crap...

but some people still somehow think that no one should question that teenagers are hypersexualized the way they are in the media these days (Miley, Britney, Lindsay).

Priorities, you know. It's just biology. Can't be helped.
