The swords are a symbol of the fathers' warring for their daughters, saying they will be there for them in life.

Hmm.  I always thought the sword was a phallic symbol.  How ironic!

I like this post.  I do think a lot of people do hide from the truth.  They only want to see what they want to see and I think that will only cause more problems in the future. 

Thank you for being honest and open.  Just because someone makes a vow, does not mean they will commit to it.

Exactly.  I never let no boy do the thinking for me.

And I was the one who initiated sex, not my boyfriend (husband now).  He respected me enough to wait until I was ready.  If a girl truly is smart she will wait to have sex until she is ready, not when her boyfriend is ready.

How do you know you daughter will not kiss until she's married?  If she did, would you tell she was not pure?

I sure hope not.

Where are the mothers???  What do they think of this?

Doesn't Dr. Phil say that the strongest role model in a child's life is the same sex parent? 

I have to disagree and say that not all of the kids are brats, I think it's more the parents that are being unreasonable than their child.  I think that some of the kids are there purely for the reason that it's their parents dream, not really their own.

I personally think that Gracie could make it in hollywood.  Why anyone would want to is another question, but I do think that she has talent.  And her mother actually encourages her, she doesn't berate her.  Also, they seem to be taking the appropriate actions to get noticed.

Go Gracie!
