With so many negatives, your observations are a boost up. Our future is in the hands of these kids, and they'll handle it all just fine. Also, you nailed it with your description of how things used to be. I, too, have memories that would make you cringe---stuff that was considered "the norm." We've come a long way, baby!Lisa Ricard Clarohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05048410207952052295noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7795370529696691543.post-36297360384440572242013-04-09T11:06:40.800-05:002013-04-09T11:06:40.800-05:00I LOVE the depth of your observations.

I tried it, too, and it go laughs. <br />But by high school, smart was cool - maybe b/c I was at an all-girl school. I am trying to raise my daughter to be proud of who and what she is - she already tells me about how two boys at school constantly tell her she "can't like blue" and "can't be good at sports, because that's for boys." GRRR - I want to know who is raising these narrow minded little boys!! <br />Beth M.

It wasn't even an option for my generation. I was with a group of women in their <br />20's-40's yesterday, and I felt exactly about them as the way you describe the highschoolers: confident and in control. They come into their own so much sooner.Linda O'Connellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15982895073903619018noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7795370529696691543.post-21160890796369039082013-04-08T18:38:18.885-05:002013-04-08T18:38:18.885-05:00Tammy--This is too deep to leave it as just a post...Tammy--This is too deep to leave it as just a post. Your observations would make a wonderful essay for a magazine.<br /><br />And once again, you made me look at something that I sometimes think of as a negative (the girls who let all their "girlness" hang way out) with "new" eyes.Sioux Roslawskihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17924021828536277618noreply@blogger.com
