Miley Cyrus Goes From Disney To Sex Symbol

Hillery Duff seems to be the disney star who never went thru that faze of going clubbing or wearing rediculously slutty clothes while growing up. We should just ask Hillery how she became a better role model.

Miley is a celebrity growing in front of us. She has to put up an act and I think it's perfectly normal. I know what I wanted to wear when I was 17/18.

To add more to my comment, shes not going to be a child forever!

As a girl in her young 20s, I feel that Miley is going to be Miley. She is under the spotlight and that is the only reason that she is getting so much attention. Teenagers have been this way for years, even before Miley came about. Think about yourself at this age. She's entering adulthood which is an exciting, yet scary phase in life. She is going to make mistakes not because she's young, she is human. She has a sexuality, just like some of your daughters have and if they don't yet, will have someday. I think people forget sometimes that technically she's a young adult and she's going to grow up. It may make you uncomfortable sometimes, but some of you are going to have to deal with it. Im not much of a miley fan, but im just speaking my mind here. Let that girl grow up and find out who she is!

I have no problem with her growing up and wanting to change her image. As a parent of young girls, however, I wish she would have chosen a look other than "porn star/pole dancer wanna-be" My girls still idolize the old Hannah Montana and are shocked with Miley's new image. Apparently, Miley wants to leave everything from her days as Hannah Montana behind her, including her fans, many who are also older and ready to move on. Hopefully, these young fans will end their infatuation with her now and refuse to buy her new albums.

Miley Cyrus just brings about the point of parenting even more. If you don't want your kids seeing that, don't let them! Explain to your kids that you don't agree with the way Ms. Cyrus conducts herself, and you don't want them to do it either. Don't condone them or make them feel bad about it, which is what often happens. No one else can control what your kids do or don't see. You can turn off the tv. You can not buy them the cds. I personally have no problem with what Miley's doing. She's just expressing herself. She's dressing like every other girl her age (and often younger), but because she's famous, everyone seems to think it's their business. She'll be legal next year, she won't be a kid forever (and neither will your children, despite what you may do). 'Disney kid' or not, she's entitled to the right to be herself, no matter how she may choose to be.

i have seen somee of the stuff her like 11 year old sister wears and i don't really think thats apropreate. but miley is a 17 year old girl, and her image is hers to do what she wants to with it. if she wants to imbrace her sexuality so be it. i think it would be wrong to try to prolong a child like image for the money. but even then its still up to her

Why do we worry soooooo much about celebrities? shouldn't we be the best role models for our children not these fake Televisionaries! TV has gone over board, it should not be what raises our children. We should control media by simply hitting the OFF switch.

She's alienating those that made her famous...will she gain a new fan base? While I agree that fashion and acceptance has change, I think I still want to see "good taste" in the performers I support. You can still show your more grown up by dressing tastefully, not slutty.

(cont.)....... It is not a sign of the times, look back 20 years ago and you will see, Selena, and Madonna wore the same type of outfits. Would you call an ice skater sleazy? They wear more compromising outfits. It's not what you wear, it's how you present yourself that deems you promiscuous. And Miley doesn't do that. She's just trying to have fun, and most people that age, don't think like we do anyways, they think it's harmless. So why judge a book by it's cover?

@chickadeecj The media doesn't control my mind, thought it might some others. Everyone has a preference but we were put here to worry about ourselves and no one else. Whose business is it of ours to worry about how someone else lives their life? If that's the way she chooses to live her life then so be it, it is her will. As for our children, I agree with everyone else, we raise our children and are the primary role model...if we disagree with anything about the way a celebrity/artist chooses to be, we simply remove our children from that environment. Everyone has their own tastes, who are you to judge that what she wears is sleazy? Is a swimsuit "sleazy" and "disgusting"? For years this has been a fashion worn by the most popular singers........

I'm sorry but no 17 year old girl should be giving any 45 year old man a lap dance. That has nothing to do with her age or growing up. No grown women needs to be doing that unless it is in the privacy of her own home with her husband. It is inappropriate for her to be doing that and for her Dad to say it is ok shows both of their morals and values and her self being. She should think better of herself. She is not my daughter so what she does doesn't effect me unless my daughter starts thinking it is ok to do those things. Thats my job to teach my girls that I think that is wrong and then hope they listen.

Miley can do what she wants. But from what I've read about her life, she has been totally unsupervised for years, and her dad seems to rely on her agent to take care of her. I feel bad for her because she seems to have no parental involvement. Her dad only seems to care that she's famous.

It is natural for young females to flaunt what they have. Do I agree with it no, But it is up to her parents for allowing her to wear those types of things. She may end up regretting that she did it later on in her life. I feel it is for her and her parents to decide what is right for her, and if people don't like what she is doing then don't listen to her or buy her products its as simple as that. Explain to your children that you don't agree with the way that she is holding herself with the way she is dressing. and as for the above statement yes 20-30 years ago it wouldn't have been shown on tv but times have changed and standards no longer exist. It sucks but its the truth kids today have no idea what it means to be appropriate there are no wholesome tv shows for the family to watch anymore.

I do not agree with the above posts at all. It is a sad thing when a beautiful young girl like Miley feels she must portray herself in such a sleazy way at such a young age. Its definitely a sign of the times we live in , 20 or 30 years ago they would have NEVER shown that on tv. Dressing that way is not natural by any means and to think that is just goes to show you how much influence the media really has over the minds of folks. I will definitely say something to the folks who are making this sleazy and disgusting way of dressing fashionable... go put some clothes on!
