We live in a lower-class trailer park (and conservative area). We have middle school girls. It isn't nearly that bad here. People are close to their families and their religion. There might be one or two "bad girls"; the rest are OK. Strong Hispanic family influence.
So glad your daughters are doing so well. Perhaps you could send some advice up this way for parents with daughters. It’s not that families here do not attend church because many do, but parents don’t seem to be noticing their behavior of their children. Too busy maybe.
I do not understand how these young ladies can cut themselves up with razor blades and their parents not notice. It is one of those things that would tend to jump out at you if you were paying any attention at all. Does anyone else see this happening in their area?
