Hypersexualisation - Slam

Many adults find ways to criticize our generation

Complaining about gangs and our lack of motivation

Violence, laziness, drugs and overconsumption

But what I find the worst is hypersexualisation.

Nine and ten year olds being told they’re sexy on facebook

When they really should be reading stories about captain hook

Thinking they should look like america’s next top model

No wonder their parents can’t understand the riddle.

We say we are free, that we believe in liberty

But really teens are stuck being their own enemy

Judging and only caring about the physical

Bringing other girls down, making everyone mental

Turn on the TV and what do you see

A whole bunch a girls wearing nothing but a bikini

All made out of plastic, they resemble Barbie

Standing by their side, rich men old enough to be their daddy

Twelve year olds reading Cosmopolitan

Checking out tips on how to have an orgasm

Having sex so young, thinking they’re in love

Entering an adult world they really know nothing of

Thirteen year olds already feeling the pressure

Celebrities everywhere, they’re all getting thinner

Where are the role models, the ones who give the example

Really? A size zero as the regular size sample

People, Life&Style and Us weekly

Comparing and judging who has the best beach body

What message are you sending to that six year old

That she’s already supposed to fit into that perfect mold

But if they’re too short, fat and ugly

Then what am I? Just another piece of normality

I don’t wear knee-high boots or even see-through shirts ?

And I don’t want all the boys looking up my skirt

When you can’t see the difference

Between Playboy and the new Guess ad

Our world is slowly losing all it’s innocence

Wanting to please everyone, it’s making me mad

It’s crazy how our intimacy has suddenly gone public

Why don’t you keep it to yourself that you want his dick

I feel like the world is upside down

What? Does the dirtiest one win a crown?

Young celebrities getting thrown out of their childhood

Expected to act like adults, to skip a stage of life

Would you sell yourself, just because you could?

Chopping off moral values, with the help of a knife

Silly little girls taking pictures in their underwear
And at night they still need to sleep with their teddy bear
Equally young boys drooling all over the pictures
Will you stop acting like a bunch of immatures?

Yes, immatures, in the way that you act
Cause sexy doesn’t mean mature, that we know for a fact
You have plenty of time for sex when you’re old
Now keep your body to yourself, and treasure it like it’s gold

You can keep your clothes on and still look beautiful
Look in the mirror and see, it might be helpful
Your confidence will built up, sooner than later
And for clothes keep in mind: sometimes more does look better.
