A Future Of What(Basis Of Loving Yourself)

I am sitting in a parking lot waiting on my daughter to leave the JROTC military ball as I wait I watch these young kids and try to understand what future will they have if any. I try and teach my daughter to be a classy lady as I am said to be one myself. Some may say what is classy and for me the definition is carrying yourself a certain way. What I mean by certain way, speaking as a women, you act like a lady you will be treated like a lady. A lady carries herself in a way that she never has to doubt rather or not what she is doing is right or wrong. I pride myself on teaching my daughter these things and hope she cherish what I have taught her. I watch these kids come out this ball and wonder the way some of the girls are acting, if they themselves was taught this lesson by their parents and put this act on in front of them and put another act on in front of their friends. It has me wondering about my own daughter and what would she do if I was not sitting in this parking lot waiting on her. The reason I sit so long and wait on her is because she ask me too and if this is what it takes too make her feel secure than that is what I have to do. There are now two couples walking back and forth in the dark from one end of the school building to the other and I sit here wondering what they are doing. Are they just kissing? A lot of alone time with the opposite sex is something that can be dangerous in my opinion. Why are the kids today so ready to have sex? Why do girls give there bodies so freely? Do they not understand that God created them and their bodies as gifts and not tools. Their bodies are to be treasured in a way that only comes from one who respects them. That someone should be that person willing to wait. Laughter all around me and kids coming out but still not my daughter, I have been sitting for two hours and now I am wondering how great of a time is she having and why won't she come out. My daughter did not want to go to this ball but I think her first serg, as they call him, is getting her a little out tha shell she is in. While I am waiting I will continue to think about the young people around me, and what I need to do as a parent to make sure my daughter understand that at her age she has to learn to love herself before she can love anyone else.
