I know some people can say “if she was my daughter...” I’d do this or that. But as my real-life experience with my troubled daughter of 15 years ago or so, even the best of rearings and intentions cannot dictate the outcome. The forces against you and the roll of the dice on hormones, peer pressure, school environ, et al just don’t allow that sometimes. So, for me, knowing what I know now, what I said I’d do is what I would have done with my daughter then.

Well said. There are a lot of powerful people seeking the attention of our young children. Many of them do not have good intentions.

I remember my dad using this illustration in a sermon to show God's love for us...
two farmers were talking across the fence about the latest outrage one of their sons had just done, once again breaking his father's heart. The other farmer said, “if he was my son I'd kick him out of the house.” The other farmer thought for a moment and said, “If he was your son I guess I'd kick him out too.”

What makes you so sure you’re correct? That parents can’t direct how their kids will live? The notion that exterior forces will lead kids away from their upbringing is a self fulfilling prophecy. The Bible is full of wisdom, which applied in even the smallest way, will ensure successful parenting.

Unique with Miss Cyrus is her dad did some sexually suggestive stuff in concert for many yrs...I had the misfortune of seeing Billy Ray in concert one time. Lets just say this twrrking is “ like father like daughter”.

There are youth with real problems. The younger Cyrus is trying to sell her music
