Right before family reunion last year I had this dream. In the dream I walked in to a room where several adults were sitting discussing Victoria’s decisions to wear talk tops. In the dream I lost my cool. Victoria told me this week that she had walked into a room during reunion where several adults were discussing her dyed hair and said it was against church teachings. She said she didn’t mention it at the time because she knew I would be upset. I am beyond upset. I don’t understand why adults feel the need to criticize a 12 year old girl. Who gets good grades in honor classes who loves dreaming big. Who serves in class presidency and is working hard to get her young women’s in excellence. Who is an amazing big sister. Who is compassionate and is learning to speak up for the wrong in the world. A girl who can see both sides of an argument and come to her own conclusion. Why would anybody judge this girl for the color of her hair?
I am letting it be for now and taking several steps back.
