I can understand and see why girls may follow their mothers, and grandmothers. But just like in a "Secular" or "public School", there is still Peer Pressure within a church, social organization and even "home school groups". (Personally, I don't agree with Home school groups, even there a child's heart needs Grown adult guidance!).
Just like in public organized socialism: Schools, churches, etc... so it is to be seen this --"I wanna wear my clothes like Susie because it's so cool, and Mary is doing it too! Syndromes!
And truly, doesn't it look like a contagious cold/flu to you? LOL I mean, really, and please hear my sincerity, who are we to please? Who's Home Coming are we to "prepare" for? As many as know this, daily will forget, but we are here to yield our hearts, minds, bodies, souls, closets, clothing, and Hairbrushes to God, our Creator.
You are going to see many people from your youth to way over middle age, following the neatly trampled path before them. However, that path that is still covered with moss and twine will be barely marred!
It's an interesting discussion to you, but it's an untouched discussion between most families. As little as a hairdo seems, to some, it's an intimate "thing" between them and their Lord! And others, it's just a hairdo, and they'll roll their eyes when it's mentioned too!
LOL
Wow, what are you an expert at reading the hearts and emotions expressed in these posts. Can you see thru to the other side of the screen. As a Christian, share with others their mistakes in all humility, but to point and jester isn't loving. Neither is it "Christlike".
Indeed, you'll find my remark above, "ARROGANT", however, if Biblical and Christ like understanding, and compassion, or empathy are "Arrogant & Bumptious"? I'd hardly take that lieing down.
I'd just as soon as walk up to you shake your hand, thank you for the compliment, hug you and say I love you, and walk away smiling and Praising Jesus!
:o)
Ah, well. My oldest daughter (19) is something of a "geek chick." She and her older brother (21) are attending public school together, now -- NC State University -- and taking a class in science fiction together. Despite my best efforts to saturate them in the literary classics, they share my guilty taste for science fiction. I think I ended up imparting to them my love for juvenile literature and adult theology. Speaking of fantasy -- my daughter met a guy at both SCA events, and at the campus calvinist club. They're engaged, now.
