When Will They Learn
When will they learn?
What they see in the magazines and music videos aren't what real look like.
Real women are educated, respected, and admired.
When will they learn?
They aren't abused, called female dogs, called our their name, or belittled.
They aren't glorified for being the baddest chick, the party girl, the girl down to give it up on the first night.
When will they learn?
Dating someone with goals, drive, and ambition, isn't a bad thing.
The thug whonever finished grade school, lazy, won't get a job, thinks someone else should pay their bills, went to jail, makes babies and don't raise them isn't the right one.
When will they learn?
Education is the most powerful thing you can obtain.
They are more valued for their thoughts, their education, than for what is between their legs.
Young ladies respect yourselves.
