Research, let's fuck up their brains!

Today I was doing research in a project and came across these quotes:

From http://kidshealth.org/kid/feeling/school/back_to_school.html# on the subject of school starts (for normal kids I might add) we get this wisdom:

"Most teachers let you pick your own seat on the first day, but by the second or third morning, they'll have mapped out a seating plan. At first, it's a good idea to write down where your seat is in your notebook so you don't forget."

And in
http://www.wikihow.com/Accessorize-Your-School-Uniform
they do not feel ashamed writing this to young females about the skirt height and your questionable gender:

"if your medium height and round, make it a little( i mean a little!) above the knee, so your legs can be shown, to make sure youre a girl."

They continue on the subject of accessories: "Don't copy someone else's cool idea, unless they are your friend. Try to make up your own trends, otherwise people will think you are poser."

When I was a kid, to copy a friend was a BIG no-no. Copy inspiration was taken from as far away as possible so you could have your unique set among your closest friends. I even remember when a friend of mine got the same jacket as another friend. Not good. But then again it was probably his mother that went shopping so the responsibility was probably not all his.

Back to www.wikihow.com they end the page with the following misplaced question:
Was this article accurate?
To what?! What can it possibly be accurate at? To display the beliefs of some people? How should anyone appraise how their broken little brains function?

I would like to finish this rant with this piece of lifesaving advise shamelessly marketed under warnings at www.wikihow.com/Accessorize-Your-School-Uniform:
"Steer clear of key chains that make noises. You could bump it the wrong way and send funny noises out to the whole algebra class. Talk about embarrassing!"

Just so you know! I too feel that we should strive to give young girls more anxiety in their lives. As we all know they are usually very down to earth and not hyped up on misguided beliefs at all...
Let's fuck up their brains!
