So, there's a of news and gossip on Miley Cyrus these days, what with that video of her smoking up with a bong, etc. Another nail in the coffin of her good girl image, more proof she's just a teenager, not like every teen - I certainly wasn't smoking up hallucinogenic herbs, legal or otherwise at just 18 - but like many. More proof that teenagers will be teenagers, whether they're world-famous pop stars or 16 and pregnant. The video made me feel badly for Miley, for the people she surrounds herself with, who would film her doing things that get her in the news again, that prompt her dad to post heartbreaking tweets. Honestly, I think a lot of it comes down to parenting. Even down to the things she wears, the ones that get her in the scandal sheets, the provocative outfits and dancing. Someone is allowing her to do those things, to wear those clothes. When I was 17, no way would my parents have let me out of the house like that.

But whatever you think of Miley's wild child ways, cry for help, or 'normal teen behavior', or both...

I have a question.

One comment I've seen over and over, on new posts, on YouTube videos (what, 'Who Owns My Hearts' is a good pop song) is people bashing Miley for being a 'slut'.

Really? Last time I checked, provocative clothes, or even dancing did not a slut make. All of those things are performances, an image that Miley wants to project to the world. She's had a few steady boyfriends, but last time I checked, she's not out with a different guy every night.
How exactly is she a slut?

I'm sick of this culture that makes girls feel like the only way to show they're an adult is to take their clothes off, and then, once they've done that, bashes them and calls them a slut for it. It's the reason I deleted the Brokencydes album off my iPod. You don't get to ask a girl to have sex with you, and then call her a slut when she does it.
