I don't want my kid to come home crying everyday cuz someone girls made fun of her or someguys made fun of her for doing something she loves! I just don't see how I could let me daughter go and do something that could hurt her! I didn't saythat i wouldn't encourage her cuz I would But all I'm saying is that I wouldn't want her hurt!!!!!!!!
