Last week, a viral video caught a Colorado man harassing a group of teenage girls at the beach, chastising them for their bathing suits. They were wearing run-of-the-mill bikinis. It never occurs to this man that the problem is him. As a parent of an eleven-year old girl, this is something I think about a lot—especially as my daughter gets older and experiments with her clothing and style. Because when you start to notice that men—grown men— are looking at your child who still sleeps with a teddy , you become hyper-aware of what they might be seeing. A sliver of stomach?

A truly staggerring display of bad taste, eyewateringly expensive but ultimately pointless birthday celebrations, and ruined kids. Seeing My Super Sweet Sixteen can be best compared to witnessing a freight train hitting a bus full of children or watching a suicide bombing unfold. If these girls were in the Bitch Olympics , they'd be disqualified for bad sportsmanship. A disturbing reality show on MTV. The parents should be in jail for child abuse. Don't blame the kids. Blame the ridiculously weak parents! My super Sweet 16 is a pointless reality show on MTV where stuck-up cunts get to have the birthday party of their dreams. The show always plays out the same, some spoiled bitchy girl gets to have a ridiculous birthday party, which costs hundred of thousands of dollars, and the girl still bitches about the party. These girls and their parents should all be shot.

As the parent of a teenage girl, you need to prepare for a range of noxious and rebellious behaviors that can make us say things we later regret. Your daughter is experiencing a surge of hormones that make her weep one minute and laugh hysterically the next. Most teens—about 86 percent—know other kids who drink, smoke or do drugs during the school day , while 47 percent of teens in had used an illegal drug before graduating high school, according to the National Center for Drug Abuse Statistics. Tread gently, or your daughter will feel judged and criticized for simply trying to grow up. Teenage girls need to feel efficacy, strength and pride in their abilities. Being beautiful is a fluke of nature, not an accomplishment. Aim to shift your compliments toward characteristics and actions that will serve her far beyond the momentary joy of feeling attractive.
