I hope I have a Boy….
Because frankly, Luke Skywalker makes a far better role model than this:
Look as the girls in the background watch wistfully as their hero Hanna Montana works the pole. How old is she again? Nevermind the already losing battle with the portrayal of women in the media, the endless march of underweight, over plastic fuckwits such as Jordan, Paris Hilton, etc being worshipped by every teen girl… but then to have a Disney kid march out on stage in short shorts and begin a pole dance on top of an ice cream cart at the TEEN Choice Awards really goes a long way to show how doomed we are.
You can certainly try to raise them as best you can but then what is stopping their poorly raised peers from shoving these types of values down their throats at school?
Do you know what 15 year old girls are doing nowadays? Having co’ed sleepovers that they’ve coined “shagovers” and drinking until the point of black out.
How am I supposed to raise another human being in this kind of world?!?

…males aren’t too much better these days either but judging by the kids in my street they aren’t bad at all probably get stereotyped to often.
likely though these days it’s alot harder to raise kids i imagine you are bombarded left and right from the media, advertising, magazines etc etc oh and yes peers.
though they say teens with hobbies are much less likely to fall into that sorta stuff so maybe video games can save the day or well something else (i was gonna mention soccer but for some reason it doesn’t seem right to me reminds me of pushy parents)
any who good luck.

“How am I supposed to raise another human being in this kind of world?!?”
Don’t take this the wrong way, and forgive me for the apparent overbearing negative tone, but rural Ohio would be infinitely preferable; I’ve lived in both places. The prolonged and persistent erosion of family values in British society, trash media reinforcing trash culture and khazi-values, and a pervasive, ever-growing state-dependent subculture will create a peer group whose influence you’ll find it difficult, in 10 years impossible, to avoid.

Im inclined to agree on several points. Whilst Ohio isn’t as interesting as Europe is and the USA as a whole lacks basics such as proper medical care, there is something to be said about small town, white picket fence America… where I grew up.
