[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 567516, member: 1550"] Janet, I agree with you 100%. My oldest daughter, who abused drugs, horrified me with her neverending different colored hair (she dyed it red, white and blue for July 4th one year and it was colored differently every week) and she had a pierced face that she had paid for but that I didn't approve of. The drugs were the priority then. I couldn't even force her to do well in school or even go. But I tried. Figured she'd outgrow the strange fashion statements and uber-rebellion and she has mellowed A LOT. She only has one piercing left because she's not allowed to have piercings at work. Her hair is always her natural color now...lol. But it's really hard to try to get a difficult child to be a conformist, unless THEY decide to be one. Safety in my opinion is definitely the #1 issue. Malika, I never WANTED my kids to be conformists though. I don't think it's a good trait...to be just like all the other robots. JMO :) [/QUOTE]
