while I won't say it's "normal" tween, I will say I see more and more of it.
I don't know if it's the media, the clothes, their friends, or whatever, but I KNOW I see girls (especially) dressed and acting in ways that if I had done so I would have been locked in my room until age 21!
And, by the way, since I have boys, I know that the guys really don't find it attractive at all! You can imagine the words they have for girls that do dress and act "that" way.
This is one area I'm sure you will not be alone in trying to correct! Since my stepdaughters don't have regular contact with us, I had no say so in their highschool years, but had to sit and cringe over the older one. I won't go into all the details - but she WOULD have been locked in her room until age 21, too, if I had had a say in it!!!!!
