The VMA's

It is my blog so I am going to talk about Miley Cyrus.  I don't watch the VMA's and I have only seen the bits and pieces of the performance that have been blasted all over the news.  Not to long ago my baby girl was a Hannah Montana fan.  She was wholesome, cute, and the program the few times I could bring myself to watch it seemed harmless enough.  I took her to the movie and even I begrudgingly liked it.  Of course now Victoria is over Miley,  Hannah,and Justin Bieber. She has never liked One Direction.  I remember being a little older then she is now and having little crushes on the teen idols of my time.  It is shocking to a parent of any age and any generation when a teen idol falls from grace.  You think we would have learned by now that they quite often do fall from grace.  So many young stars are on the news not for their talent, or craft, no they make the news for the train wreck they have let their lives become.  We are just as guilty, because we watch it.  We love watching these young people make complete fools out of themselves which in turn sells, making them very rich and increasingly very troubled.  It does seem that if these stars have parents they do nothing to help their children, they defend their hideous choices.  Billy Ray Cyrus has been on the news defending his daughter's behavior.  It is sickening!  She used to be a darling girl, very pretty, but somehow, somewhere, being a hero to little girls wasn't enough and desperate to grow up she has made some horrible choices.  She dresses and acts like a tramp.  Ladies listen please if you walk around being provocative you will get lots of attention, a lot of negative attention.  You might attract men for sure, but they won't treat you like a lady they will treat you like meat.  Young girls everywhere need to know you are so much more then this.  There are good, kind, decent, men who want more then a sex kitten.  Good, decent, men want a lady they can talk to, be friends with, a partner in life.    

   Miley wasn't alone on that stage she was with a guy that should have known better, but didn't his songs are filled with sex and innuendo.  I heard he was married, I don't know if he has children yet but I sure hope they never see that performance. Ironically his dad played a dad to my teenage crush Kirk Cameron, now there is a teen idol that to this day I like.  A decent, Christian, family man.  A man who has devoted his life to Christ.  

   Men is this want you want, women who think nothing of ripping off their clothes and grinding over anybody.  If you think for a moment I think you don't.  You want a woman who treasures you and herself.  I have sons also.  I am doing my level best to teach them to respect themselves and women they might date enough to save themselves for marriage.  It is a really hard sell these days when the media glorifies everything opposite of that standard.  Pregnancy isn't seen as bringing forth a life it is portrayed as a problem, you can easily solve.  So many shows on TV bring forth the unintended pregnancy story line.  It cheapens the whole experience, even the most powerful man in the nation talks about a baby as a burden he does not want his daughters to have to bear.  But yet the act that starts a life is seen as fun, and harmless.  My boys were born out of love to a man and a woman committed to a life together in the covenant of marriage.  I know so many people  who are going to get angry about that statement but that is the truth, it is the ideal.  I want that ideal for my boys.  I want them to find a woman who will treasure my son's as I have.  I dearly hope and pray that one day someone that cares about Miley Cyrus the person will talk to her about her choices and maybe she will return to the beautiful young woman she once was and the performance at the VMA's will be a a memory made in bad judgement.  I pray that Robin Thicke will apologize for his part.  Of course it is hollyweird and they have a bad habit of just dishing out more of what sells and who cares who gets hurt in the process.  The whole mess is sad.
