journal 15

Druck, J. (2011, April 18). Growing up too fast? Daily Titan, retrieved from: http://www.dailytitan.com/2011/04/18/growing-up-too-fast/

The article is all about the change in children between the age from 10 to 12 year-old kids. The author argues that the kids nowadays are growing up too fast because of society. The author's argument is about cause and value claims. First, she mentions that clothing stores contribute to the sped-up growth (para.6) For example, kids go to clothing stores to buy clothes that are not suitable for them. Second, she also mentions the media's role in causing kids to grow up too fast. In Paragraph 9, she states that cast member Vanessa Hudgens of High School Musical has appeared nude all over magazines. I think, the author is right, kids are influencing too much not only in media field, but also in clothing. That what leads them to become more mature than their age.
