Obviously, you don’t, and that’s fine. So there’s your answer.

Re – the story:

Yes… I found it a bit disturbing as well. Nothing wrong with a young girl getting noticed, and getting into a “scene”… but I think her mother is totally fortunate that she was able to get Cory into a program at all. At 15, 16 years old – dating a young man 5 years older isn’t necessarily uncommon (it happens a lot), and the story pointedly stayed away from getting into anything like a discussion about sexual contact – which is like saying “don’t pay attention to that pink elephant” – and the getting into the adult parties is a series of possibly huge problems… but for me the real ugly thing that comes out of this is the absolute commodification of our kids. Yeah, I said kids. JonBenet Ramsey is only the most notorious of these examples. What’s next? Sexually oriented advertisements featuring 10 year olds? It is a slippery slope, it is real predatory, and it is ugly.

That said, it doesn’t seem like Cory was anyone’s victim – and that says a lot about her particular composition. I get the feeling she’s going to be something big in a few years. Go girl!
