So I am torn here. My daughter wanted to try out for the local Football Dance Team, she loves to dance and is 15. I thought ok sure until I saw the requirements to try out. First they had to take a head shot of themselves to the audition. I did not agree with that because why don't they find out if the girls can even dance, is that not the point of the whole thing? Whatever I put my thoughts and feelings aside because I know my daughter is in it for the right reasons, she just likes to dance. So off we go to the auditions and my daughter took her high school picture with her from this year. The girls show up and they want their pictures and to take their measurements right away. WTF? We still have not seen if they can even dance, this is a dance team is it not? So the girls show up and it is a beauty contest and to see who is the smallest? All of the girls were very pretty and young but is this really what a dance team is about? I thought it was about dancing, guess I was wrong.
Anyhow to make a long story short my daughter made the team. She was so excited and happy that she tried something and accomplished it and I was proud of her too. Now they are learning dances with Sexy in the title and going to do a car wash in their cheer outfits which we all know what those are like. Makes me sick to think of all of these men and most of them a lot older than my daughter pulling in to get their car washed but mainly just to oggle my kid. Disgusting!!!! What can I do though? This is our society now and I am one Mom out of 1000 that think this is ok, those other Mom's are doing the same stuff, hanging their asses out to get attention too because that is the only way that they think they can get it. My daughter just likes to dance and I can't take that away from her, all I can do is instill good values in her and make sure she knows that she is so much more than tits and ass!!!
