"Dirty Dancing"

How many parents think that this movie has corrupted our kids?

Well, let me say this, I watched this movie when i was 16 or 17yrs old (about 15yrs ago). I totally enjoyed the movie and i felt i wished I could dance that good. It however did not make me go out and get laid!

Watching this again now though made me realise the very quiet message that "Baby" in that movie trusted her father (the doctor) so much that she went to him when her friend was in need. She know she might get in trouble with her father but her trust & faith in her dad, that he will help, made her go straight to him. The father, upheld her trust by treating her friend even though later he had words with his daughter.

The lesson here was we parents need to have our children belive in us before they will come to us.

Just shoving moral studies down their throat is not going to be enough. Blaming and finger pointing is so not going to help.
 
That's just my two cents worth.
