It was a stupid idea for her parents to let her do it.
I admire her courage. The future belongs to the bold and the daring.
All children should be the same. No one should be allowed to do anything that the general public disapproves of.
Meanwhile, half the kids graduating public schools are functional illiterates, but at least they aren't doing anything risky and stupid, other than drugs and sex and...
I agree, and for those who are criticizing the parents, how many sixteen year olds are killing in car accidents? She apparently has lots of safety equipment and we don't know she's lost yet. God save her.
Eternal Father, strong to save,
Whose arm hath bound the restless wave,
Who biddest the mighty ocean deep
Its own appointed limits keep;
Oh, hear us when we cry to Thee,
For those in peril on the sea!
O Christ! Whose voice the waters heard
And hushed their raging at Thy Word,
Who walked on the foaming deep,
And calm amidst its rage didst sleep;
Oh, hear us when we cry to Thee,
For those in peril on the sea!
Most Holy Spirit! Who didst brood
Upon the chaos dark and rude,
And bid its angry tumult cease,
And give, for wild confusion, peace;
Oh, hear us when we cry to Thee,
For those in peril on the sea!
O Trinity of love and power!
Our family shield in danger’s hour;
From rock and tempest, fire and foe,
Protect us wheresoever we go;
Thus evermore shall rise to Thee
Glad hymns of praise from land and sea.
Let's pray that it belongs to this 16 y/o and that her future has not been stolen by overcompensated sublimating parents.
