Lolita is a character in the scandalous novel of the same name by Nabokov. However, recently the term "Lolita syndrome" has appeared in modern psychology. It is called a mental disorder in young ladies who too early strive to enter adulthood.
What is Lolita Syndrome?
A lolita or nymphet girl is a young person who has just entered adolescence, who is already clearly showing signs of puberty. "Puberty" is not the easiest moment in the life of any person, characterized by certain physiological processes. If hormonal changes in girls during puberty begin about 8 years old, then it is considered premature. However, according to the results of modern research, at present, premature hormonal changes in the body are observed in every sixth girl. This is especially true for overweight young ladies.
Since young girls are not entirely aware of their sex drive and do not know how to control themselves, they often become easy prey for older members of the opposite sex. For some of them, adolescent promiscuity is even characteristic - a frequent change of sexual partners at such a young age. And some, in addition, along with this begin to try other "adult" hobbies - alcohol and drugs.
Causes of "Lolita syndrome"
Often, "Lolita syndrome" manifests itself in girls who do not receive due attention from their parents. From an early age they are left to themselves, therefore they taste adult life ahead of time.
There are girls for whom the care of their adult boyfriends replaces the father's love that was not received in childhood. It also boosts their self-esteem considerably. If earlier they wanted to feel beautiful and loved, now there is a person who cares about them and constantly gives compliments. Realizing their attractiveness, girls discover new ways to manipulate sexuality. Although more often "Lolita" are not manipulators, but victims. Adult fans take advantage of them and drop them whenever they want.
Some girls want to grow up quickly, looking at their idols - beautiful models, actresses, or even the beloved Barbie doll. They want to start using makeup, walk in heels and behave as befits of adult women as soon as possible. In this regard, a number of scientists even thought about the admissibility of the production of toys with such an ideal, attractive appearance as Barbie's.
The media also add fuel to the fire - advertising posters are full of half-naked beauties, so on a subconscious level it seems to girls that without aggressive sexuality they simply will not achieve anything in life.
If you notice the manifestation of "Lolita syndrome" in your child, then you should pay more attention to him, and, if necessary, take him to a conversation with a psychologist.
