Confident enough to buck the "popular" and support those who were treated poorly by the "popular". To me, it's just heels. It doesn't say anything about who these girls are or will be.Ms. Understoodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17862534289021543850noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6386759355610512412.post-7259789790272457562010-03-03T12:08:58.356-05:002010-03-03T12:08:58.356-05:00When I was 10, I thought getting a pair of Dr. Sch...When I was 10, I thought getting a pair of Dr. Scholl's was a big deal. I say this time and time again, if kids(I stress the word kids) do all of this now, what is there to look forward to?

Secondly I am ahppy that you are guiding your girls in a different path than those who are growing up waaay too fast.

The TV, peer pressure and unhealthy aquaintances are raising our children.
