The Perfect “BAD” Examples

As my girls were flipping through the TV channels last night they stopped on a show that made me think.

I don’t know if it is still called “The Simple Life,” but it features Paris Hilton and Nicole Richie touring middle-America in a bright pink truck and trailer.
As we watched, to me it left the perfect example of what I DON”T want my girls to be;rude, vulgar, spoiled, selfish, perverted. The list could go on with the bad impression I got of these 2 young women.

I wonder if their parents watch the show and are horrified to witness their girls’ behavior and lack of respect for everyone else on the planet, or are their parents the same way?

I wonder if these girls have such a lack of self-esteem that they make fun of everyone else around them to boost themselves, or do they really think money is the ultimate ranking status of self-worth?

I truly believe these girls will never find happiness, as they live lives filled of “themselves” and any kind of “feels good” from vulgar humor, perverted sex and drugs and other substances to escape their reality.

I talked with my teenage girls about this perfect “BAD” example of what I want for them. I need to do some more thinking of the good examples in the media of teens they can look up to and respect.

So far…
…I haven’t thought of any.
