Well, I can share with you how difficult it is to raise a 13 year old female. There was a time when she was 8 9 or ten, and we were carefree, and joyous of life. Now, I am finding that in order to get her to survive with some kind of good moral code, I really need to think hard, and sometimes act hard. One thing I find missing, grossly missing in a lot of kids her age, is respect. Respect to what she owns, how she treats others, how she respects her environment. By eliminating as much outside influence, its like dancing on the edge of a double blade. If I eliminate too far, I shelter too much, if I don't, she is exposed to a kind of ungodly blatant sexuality that is horrendously abusive to a young psyche. After hearing females on this award show be referred to as "bitches" constantly, and this expose of in your face teenage flesh, I think the decision should be a fairly easy one.
