Dear Daughter...

[billysgirl5]

Dear daughter, let Miley Cyrus be a lesson to you.

Yes, this is what happens when you constantly hear everything you do is awesome. This is what happens when people fawn over your every Tweet and Instagram photo. This is what happens when no responsible adult has ever said the word “no,” made you change your clothes before leaving the house, or never spanked your butt for deliberate defiance.

If you ever even consider doing something like that, I promise you that I will run up and twerk so you will see how ridiculous twerking looks. I will duct tape your mouth shut so your tongue doesn’t hangout like an overheated hound dog. I will smack any male whom you decide to smash against his pelvis – after I first knock you on your butt for forgetting how a lady acts in public.

Why would I do that? Because I love you and I want you to respect yourself. Miley Cyrus is not edgy or cool or sexy. She’s a desperate girl screaming for attention: Notice me. Tell me I’m pretty. See how hot I am. I know all the guys want me. All the girls want to be me.

You probably know girls who will emulate this behavior at the next school dance. Don’t do it with them. You are far too valuable to sell yourself so cheaply. Walk away. Let the boys gawk and know in your heart that they see only a body that can be used for their pleasure and then forgotten.

I’m sorry if you’ve ever felt sad because I haven’t gushed over everything you’ve done. My role is to praise when praise is due, but also to offer constructive criticism and correction when it is needed as well. I’m sorry if you’ve ever felt demoralized because your Instagram following isn’t in the thousands, and I’m sorry those “selfies” can never capture how amazingly beautiful you truly are. I’m sorry if you’ve ever wished you had a friend instead of a mom, and I promise you that I will probably get worse when you hit high school.

Dear daughter, I am going to fight or die trying to keep you from becoming like the Miley Cyruses of the world.

You can thank me later.

Wel said, and very very true. I cannot watch this new Miley Cyrus. She seems like a little girl play acting, and as you say, with a defiant attitude. Seeing her supposedly provocative clothes and poses is like watching one of those cringe worthy YouTube vids of some five year old doing a sexy dance.

I must be getting old, but I am so tired of attractive talented women who prance around on stage in their undies and then want us to take them seriously. We don't even need men turning us into sex objects these days - we do it to ourselves.

Nicely said.

Thank you (that last part)! I'm so sick of seeing all these young, beautiful women dress so scandalously and act like whores (pardon my French, lol), and wonder why people don't treat them well.

So much truth. I actually went and subscribed to the woman who made that video, because there's so much truth.

The lady has a bunch of good vids to watch!

Very well said. :)

I'd never even heard of this until my dentist actually mentioned it when I was there yesterday, lol. I looked it up and... no words. This person has it right - it's all about her being desperate for attention. But it's just so... trashy IMO.

It's beyond trashy. It's despicable, and so many younger girls/women look up to this as a role model. WHY?!
