This is why I always warn parents that their children were not created by cookie-cutters. Each child is different as is their maturity level.
BTW...Allison, you were still in the "boys have cooties" stage. *L* Hugs, Maithe----- Original Message ----- From: "Allison Hilliker" <bookshare_girl@xxxxxxx>

Hi, I saw Grease for the first time when I was ten. I watched it with threefriends who were my age. They loved it and sang along. I did not. At thetime, I thought it was dumb because it showed how ridiculous girls can getover boys. I thought Sandy was just silly. I'm not sure what that says about me. <smile>.Today, I like the movie and find the story and the music fun, but I think it's interesting to look at how children each react to aspects of popular culture differently. As adults, we try to carefully monitor books, movies, games, and music, and guess which things will have negative and/or positive impacts on kids, but in the end, they're all just guesses. Sometimes you can get ten different kids and get ten different perceptions of a thing. It's interesting I think.Best, Allison----- Original Message ----- From: "liz halperin" <lizzersagain@xxxxxxxxxxx>To: <bksvol-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Friday, January 04, 2008 6:57 PM Subject: [bksvol-discuss] OT: GREASEIt's now in it's 30th anniversary year, and was just re-released as aSing-A-Long version with the lyrics scrolling at the bottom of the screen.Oops, is opening in theatres TONIGHT.

Cindy,I saw Grease when I was 7 or 8 and the message I got from it was that loveovercomes everything. *G* I found it to be a fun movie and when I left the theater, I was singing and dancing with myself. I think that was the message most of the kids got. My friends just concentrated on the music and learning all the lyrics. *L* Ah, the good old days.

I hadn't come across any like that, but I'm glad to hear it, but also glad to hear that parents can arrange for their teenagers to have access to a particular book or to any book at all if they feel they are mature enough. When my girls were in their preteens, I wouldn't let them watch All in the Family, because I didn't want them to hear some of the language or to get the idea that Archie Bunker's opinions were o.k. Also, I think my husband was wrong in this, he wouldn't let them see Grease, when they were 7 and 8, because he didn't want them to get the idea that it was good to change and conform just for the sake of others. Maybe he and a point. I do think teenagers are less impressionable and more able to distinguish right from wrong, and satire from seriousness, at least with parental discussions.
