Social Acceptance

This is a Guest Post by my Daughter, Jessica.

Has anybody noticed how superficial and judgemental the youth of today is?

Being a teenager myself I am surrounded by it every day of the week. Why do people feel the need to follow the crowd, and judge those who dare to differ?

Just the other day one of my own friends called me 'a pathetic excuse for a girl' because I like motorbikes and cars. Yes, I may like motorbikes, but I also like dresses, make-up and pink! Same as any other teenage girl.

And why do teenagers think that all adults should be hated - especially teachers? I happen to find a lot of my teachers very interesting people. I find myself preferring to spend my time with adults rather than with people my own age.

What about all this size zero business. This I really cant understand. Two words - ROAST DINNER!!!

And my last point - SMILE! Its not difficult. If I pass somebody in the street my own age and smile at them they look at me like I'm a crazy person! Whats wrong with spreading a little happiness?

Daughters 2nd Motorbike Lesson

We finally found a motorcross bike for my daughter. It's a 2002 Honda CR 80 'Big Wheel'. After a good clean it looks very well, never been raced and in great condition.

Saturday was spent with her getting used to riding round the field. The first thing she did was flip it completely, I thought that would have destroyed her confidence but by the end of the session she was riding it around the field, admittedly only in first gear at the moment. I'm proud of how she got back on and got on with it, Here's a picture:

The bike itself is a 2 stroke motorcross bike. Despite being only 80cc It goes like stink ... capable of pulling the front wheel up in third gear under hard accelearation and thats with me on it. A cracking little bike.

We had been out that morning to finish off shopping for her motorcycle kit. She now has boots and body armour so everything she needs is sorted, it's just practice and more practice now Happy
