Teenage Girls and Being Judgemental

As each day passes i learn more about my teenage girl then I ever imagined. As we were sitting at school this afternoon for cheerleading pratice, my daughter said some things that just have nagged at me till we got home. There was different pratices going on and alot of other teenage girls on the field. As we sat there with her 5 friends I realized my daughter and her friends are very judgemental of other people. As they sat there I think they had something to say about each girl that walked past. Lets see, you know she lives in a trailer park, her mama and daddy are poor, she is wearing clothes from last year, her parents are ugly thats where she gets it from, her mom picked her up in a junkie car, you should see her house, and they just kept on. Finally at six o'clock it was over. Thank goodness. On the way home i kept thinking how i was going to handle this. In a way I was hurt and disappointed that my daughter was so materialistic. Its not like she is well off, we are a typical middle class family. Girls judge other girls by their clothes, where they live, how they look, what they major in at school, by their activities. Teenage girls think and believe the world revolves aound them. Newsflash it doesnt. I had a talk with my daughter about being judgemental, though she didnt see anything wrong in what she said, I did. Girls need to appreciate what they have and have compassion for those that dont have the spoiled life. My solution to this judgemental, better than you attitude she has now, Saturday yes I mean her day off, her special day to go to the mall, go shopping, eat out all the wonderful things she as a judgemental person doesnt appreciate will be spent at a homeless shelter for families. She sees nothing wrong with her way of thinking so its reality time. She has to learn not to judge people for what they wear, where they live, how they look and by what they have in material possesions. Hopefully Saturdays trip to the homeless shelter will open her eyes and she wll see all people are the same inside and the outside or material possesions doesnt make the person, THE HEART THE PERSON HAS MAKES THE PERSON. I will let you know how it turns out. I wish her a very tough learning experience in this world.
