She's already done it again! Seriously,
Lindsay!
Don't you just wish she was still as cute, sweet, and wholesome as she was here:
Oh, for the love of those
Parent Trap days???
This is just another incident that reaffirms the moral filth of young Hollywood. It makes me so sad to see what these young girls are doing to themselves. It also makes me sad that our young teens are trying to look, dress, and party like these girls.
Friday night, while I was at my Harry Potter Release Party (te-he), I was perusing the shelves of Young Adult literature at Borders. During the past couple of years, I have learned how invaluable it is to know about and read what other teens are reading--to incorporate it in my classes, help a kid find a love for reading, and satisfy my curiosity about what's out there. I investigated the
Gossip Girl series and skimmed/speed read through the first book. Ashamedly, I was hooked. The writing is enticing, suspenseful, and just awful--enough so to keep you turning page after page. I don't think I'm old-fogey enough or quite far-removed enough to think that high school is actually like that, but, man! These kids were border-line alcoholics, drug users, and very sexually active. While I enjoyed satisfying my curiosity and have looser opinions on censoring, I would NOT want a teenage daughter of mine to be influenced by this type of literature...
Teens today are growing up in a much different world than we were not so many years ago!
I'm afraid that one of these Hollywood "It" girls is going to bite the dust sooner or later! (who are you betting on? J/K) Seriously, though, isn't that sad to think about? Do you think it will take something like that to make *us* wake up? Do you worry about raising teenagers in our world today?

I cannot get over what that girl has turned in to. It is so sad. You are right, teenagers today are growing up in a TOTALLY different world than we did. It makes you think twice about wanting to have children...
Yes, I definitely miss the "Parent Trap" Lindsay! It really is sad, and it's scary to think about what the next generation of teens will be going through...
