Saving our Heritage and our Legacy

Today, I found out my 13 year old daughter is reading a book entitled, "Thugs, and the women who love them." Though I am happy she is reading (!!*#$%), my standard for her choice of literature is MUCH higher than the prose she has chosen. She is a beautiful, sharp, smart, witty young lady who wants to be a lawyer. My challenge for her, and it's the same challenge I see for many of our youth, is how to keep her interested in "right choices" and ensure "right choices" are grounded within her such that she sees the lawyer in her and gravitates toward that person in her thinking and her choices versus toward the person much of society, her peers, etc. would try to pull her to become - the woman who...loves thugs. Thoughts ladies?
