Hello World. Prom, graduation, and Memorial Day . . . summer 08 is here. Let us celebrate, and or take pause.

Some of the prom apparel is unbelievable. Girls . . . where are you going? Now look, I am not a prude. I love a good LBD, great shoes (on sale and fabulous), after five bag, hair and nails done, make up applied to perfection. I get it. Did it . . . and still love it.

However, with modern accessibility of the Internet, and intensity of media messages, many young girls and teenagers are dressing very provocative today with no hesitation . . . very little modesty.

Women, we are so busy doing our thing, maybe we do not see the impact we are having on others. I hate to be so blunt . . . but here goes. We moms, and women without children too . . . have not been the best role models for the young women growing up. A modern era "slack" has definitely taken place. Somewhere . . . we dropped the ball. As I view this (just my opinion) our entire society has been dumbed, tramped, and exploited.

Whatever has your mind has you. Where have our minds been?

We have young girls walking around like they are loose and bold young women. Our young boys are being played, pimped, and pickled to act and behave like thugs and gangsters. We turn our heads. It is very difficult to go up against the social pressures out there, this I realize. You are right . . . it is very tough . . . and extremely necessary.

Our families are scattered and many shattered. "Man flipping" women, and butt chasing males . . . will not sit their butts down and commit to a family structure. Look we are not even displaying we have a concept of "family structure."

We have to toughen up our own standards as parents and adults. Give our nations kids an alternative example of womanhood and manhood. A positive strong, structured, loving, and imperfect example of womanhood and manhood.

The media images of "tramp and thug" are so tired . . . and can only (regardless of how cute or cool it may look at first) reduce the respect for oneself.

You can attend the prom (get that dress on sale girl) and look fabulous, without looking like a "fried mind" fool!!! Let the summer begin.
