Its nice when you come out of the shadows Bluebird.
I agree, none of our kids are perfect. My kids have never "been the popular ones" and I thank God for that every day because I think that actually takes pressure off of them to "fit in". One of the saddest parts is that its gotten way down (no pun intended) to the elementary school. Anyone who thinks the younger kids are sweet and innocent hasn't stepped foot in one of those schools for a long, long time. While some S&I kids still remain, popularity, status and yes, hypersexualization have reared their ugly heads as well and it gets vicious. I am amazed at the rudeness and disrespect I hear coming out of some of these kids mouths. If I ever talked like that to a teacher I wouldn't be typing this today. My parents would have taken care of that.
