Change the lives of the members of a high school marching band!

Hey guys. I'm Jessica and I'm from Indiana.I'm a sophomore alto saxophone player in the marching band at Terre Haute North Vigo High School in Terre Haute, Indiana.

"When I was growing up there was a clear divide between boys and girls. Being the only girl in a large family, I enjoyed growing up with boys and playing their games, with their toys, etc. Then we entered grade school and learned that boys and girls…"

"That first shirt is appalling. I don't know how you missed the very implied domestic violence. If you've ever been a victim of domestic violence, those lines would be easily recognized. The second shirt, I recall, also got flack for being…"

Marilla replied to Jessica's discussion What are we teaching our children?
"I don't think (at least in my own case) that it was anything created by my parents. It's just that when we were younger the boys were taught to have stereotypical male interests and the girls were taught to have stereotypical girl…"

Michael Lee replied to Jessica's discussion What are we teaching our children?
"the cold truth is most of the time it can be hard to tell who is good and who is bad. parents just want to take all precautions and not have their kid end up dead or raped."

Jeevi replied to Jessica's discussion What are we teaching our children?
"I think it's fairly natural for a child to be a bit wary of something different from themselves, but i think it's a shame and adults can do a lot to try to break down these barriers and sterotypes if they try. I like to think…"

"My grandaughter wouldn't kiss me today. She said I was a boy and she doesn't like boys. She is 3 1/2. Dang that sucked."

Kathryn Foley replied to Jessica's discussion What are we teaching our children?
"I don't see that as being a good thing, the two genders do eventually mix and get a long but still to hate is a different thing from just not getting a long. I'm sure there are exceptions to anything, but if that is the case that's…"

Ash Phillips replied to Jessica's discussion What are we teaching our children?
"When your hormones kick in will you turn into a respectful human being? Way to be a sexist pig, you talk about having a wife and children but show very few signs of maturity. "

Julia Chapman replied to Jessica's discussion What are we teaching our children?
"WHat's good for the goose is good for the gander. If it is intended to be lighthearted, don't take offense. If it is legitimately sexist (to either sex, not just women) then take offense. I believe in equal rights, but really? Laugh a…"

Danno replied to Jessica's discussion What are we teaching our children?
"true.  if there really is a strong anti-boy attitude, i suspect it's more coming from peers than parents.  though, the parents aren't helping if they aren't at least trying to socialize their daughters with boys a little bit."

"I'd say it's fairly normal when young but a lot of kids in my school were 'dating' in 3rd grade/by age 9. "

"Speaking of teaching kids. I used to teach my kids to beg and roll over and play dead for cookies. Used to piss the wife off. Me and the kids would laugh. Good times. I love pissing the spouse off."
