You have a good dad :) ! And you&#...3rd grade? omg! You have a good dad :) ! And you're right, there is hope. This is an inspiring blog/website. Thanks for sharing your story here. I truly believe that kids are born the way they are meant to be, sure, we can 'mess them up' or 'improve them', but we can't change who they are. I'm a mom, and have watched my own kids fall right into their specific gender roles without our doing anything. The boy is all boy, the girl is all girl. They just are. Their other personality traits -stubbornness, seriousness, logic, creativity, independence, etc. - these also showed VERY early as well. In the 1st months of life. <br /><br />The difference for them, for kids nowadays, I think, is schooling. It's not perfect, but the counselors and teachers in schools seem to take a much more active role these days. They don't just preach anti-bullying, they do workshops and other activities! Kids are rewarded for being 'caught' doing kind acts. Teachers are also trained better. I remember teachers who would tease, name-call, and belittle kids. I believe that our modern teachers have better training these days, and kids learn by example. Kids also have more protection in that regard too.<br /><br />My 5th grade son was appalled when he learned about "Don't ask, don't tell" in the military (the President's recent speech). He was shocked that this sort of discrimination even existed! Change is happening :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4907869562100366569.post-44092186738386049562011-02-05T22:27:26.581-08:002011-02-05T22:27:26.581-08:00Awesome post!

Lavar Christensen is quite clear in his breakdown of the new rules. Just awful. I LOVE this blog, btw.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
