Another thing my daughter likes on the Disney Channel is the High School Musical movies. They movies are really cute and the teens are really talented. Yes, we know about the scandals linked to some of them--but I don't want to ban the whole ensemble because of that. The phenomenon behind these movies is amazing! My daughter isn't a HUGE fan, but she does enjoy watching them and sometimes dancing or singing along. Mostly, she likes to read about the cast members in the celebrity gossip magazines (that is where we learned about the scandals!). To her, the boys are cute and she wants to meet boys that look like them--and the girls are pretty and she wants to wear clothes like they do. And, since she isn't in high school yet, she talks about some of the things she wants to do when she is--especially dating! The movies are sweet and innocent--a refreshing change from most teen movies. So I am perfectly fine with her liking these--much better than some of the other choices out there. No, they won't always stay innocent, but I want to try to surround them with good things as much as possible before they are bombarded with all of the bad things out there in the world. So, as the song says, "We're all in this together..."--let's support more movies for teens like these! :)
