No, this is not another blog post about Gabby's hair. That is not an "issue" I choose to speak on. However, I would like to speak about how proud I am of her, and all the other female teen athletes who participated in the Olympics and brought home medals for the USA.

Today, all we as a people hear is the negative aspects of teenage life. We hear about how careless, selfish, self-absorbed and lazy our country's teenagers are. We rarely hear about the great things these teens are doing in their lives to help not only themselves, but others as well. This could be because mainstream culture and the media only show us the negative. The poor excuses we have for role models on reality tv, that show that women getting ahead by making fools of themselves and using other's for their own material gain have led us to believe that teen girls will end up with the same fate. This however, is not true as we have seen throughout these Olympic games. Our teens have hope and now they have some beautiful and talented young athletes to look up to. I'm proud of our Olympic teen athletes for not falling prey to the nonsense that has consumed popular culture and our televisions. I'm happy that these young women found role models in other incredible women and athletes, that they have broken records and set new ones, that they have become the inspiration for young gymnasts, swimmers, runners, etc.
