I have two words….CRE-EPY.

In my experience, my friends that had the most sheltered homes and the most overprotective parents were the ones who went away to college and went nuts. To think that your children are not going to make thier own mistakes makes you nothing but willfully ignorant.

I’d like to kick some of these parents in their purity balls.

HIV, HPV and HSV don’t discriminate but parents do because of lack of knowledge and faith. As Buddha says Virus power is strong.

Oh my God. This makes every hair on my body stand up. This quote from a 19 year old girl especially:

“Something I need from dad is affirmation, being told I’m beautiful,” said Jordyn Wilson, 19, another daughter of Randy and Lisa. “If we don’t get it from home, we will go out to the culture and get it from them.”

WE WILL GO OUT TO THE CULTURE AND GET IT FROM THEM?!!?

What?? “The culture??” And what culture is that?? The huge world outside of their small, small closed minds??? Seriously, could they send their duaghters out into “the culture” more ill-equipped? And is it bad if another man aside from her father tells her that she is beautiful? Does it mean that she has such little self-control that she’ll immediately drop her pants in a compliment induced haze?

I was tired and getting ready to go to bed. Now I’m all fired up LG. Ugh. It’s just creepy.

Wonder if we’ll hear from Ken…

Messing up is a part of growing up. They are sealing their children in cocoons and when they finally break free they will be more f’ed up than if they never hid them away.
