'something' is just not getting through to alot of these young ladies these days....Natalee ? Taylor?
What more can parents do to get through into their little secret worlds they start creating at about age 12 or 13?
How can true life wisdom and interest in doing the right thing
and maintaining virtue be cultivated ?
Girls these days , some of them, just seem to want to throw it all away as quickly as possible. Don't they know they will spend their lives regretting it? If they make it....

What gets through to them is peer pressure. By 13 many are dressing like hookers and dancing like strippers .. because "everyone does it".

They turn themselves into sexual objects. The really sad part of all this is that they are placing such a low value on themselves. How can anyone else place a high value on them, if they don't place a high value on themselves. My mother used to tell me, "Maybe if you start a little later .. you'll last a little longer".

Guys are not innocent in this. They are starting earlier and treating women just the way they do it in the rap songs.

I was in Borders Books yesterday and overheard a little girl, 8 or so, read "Holly Bibble" off a shelf.

"No, honey, her dad said, it's 'Holy Bible'".

"Daddy, what's a Bible?"

Maybe we can start there.
