The Editor,
Re: "Rodeo reveals who can parent," the Now, May 22.
I am a 14-year-old girl and I live in Cloverdale. If Beau Simpson is trying to make Surrey seem like a place people won't want to live, then he is doing a good job. Surrey is an amazing place. Writing this stuff for anyone wanting to come to Surrey to read - like young families - won't help our community grow.
It's the rodeo - teens have been doing this stuff ever since it started.It's not going to change.Girls will dress inappropriately, teens will get drunk, teens will have sex, teens will swear - and you need to live with it. We aren't going to change.
We aren't trying to hurt anyone - we are trying to make memories. No good memory starts with "I was eating a salad. It starts with, "This one time I was so drunk."
Preach to someone else. Doing illegal things once in awhile with a group of friends is fine.
