As parents adn adult care givers we just have to give our kids a good dose of what life is really like and give them something positive to hold on to.

It is because we as a society place way too much value on people in Hollywood and the roles that they play and ultimately we are all trying to live up to this false vision of what we should wear, look like, and drive. It is not reality for most of us and we need to keep our kids grounded so that they do not get caught up in this nonsense.
