Well, what to talk about today. Let's pick the crazy influences on T.V. Britney Spears, Paris Hilton, and Lindsay Lohan to name a few. These people are not little girls anymore. They are women now. Rich women with a lot of power over the little girls in our society. I am not blameless. I as a parent realize that children do not become who they are because of music or because of the people that they see on T.V. I know that children become who they are because of what type of parent we are. Reguardless, these women on T.V. are unfortunately not people that our little girls should look up to. Reality is, some little girls want to be like Hilton or Spears. They want to live the life of luxury. They want to be superstars just like them. They want to go to the clubs, have the cameras flashing in their faces, and live in a house the size of a hotel! I am all for dreams. I hope all my children follow their hearts and reach for the stars. I also want them to use their future success for something great. These women are getting arrested, getting pictures taken of them getting out of cars without underwear, partying every night, and the list could go on and on. These women have power. I wish that they would show our little girls that they can have all this success and still be good mothers. Mothers that protect their children and spend time with their children. I wish that these women would show our little girls that you can have a little meat on your bones and still be beautiful. My wish list goes on and on. I want those women to show my little girls that alcohol and drugs are a waste of time and power. I want my girls to know that these things are not pre-reqs for being famous. These three women have the opportunity to show the world that women can be strong and beautiful. They can be successful and intelligent. You can go through your whole life without smoking pot and still win an Emmy when you are older. If these women were listening I would beg them to show my little girls that women are wonderful people. Use your money and power for all the little girls that think you are so great! Paris, show my little girls that you can be someone to look up to. Stop wasting your life! Appreciate the women that did so much to pave the way for you. 100 years ago this would not have been possible for women!
