Why fit in when you were born to stand out?

My 16 year old was doing her homework late on Sunday night and asked me, "Is capitalism bad?"
Sigh.
Public schools... I constantly have to re-teach...
Another problem? She is obsessing over competitive cheerleaders. She follows the "stars" on Instagram and Twitter, and they have more followers than "movie stars." One of the guy cheerleaders that all these girls are crushing on, has had to get a bodyguard! DD said that one of her best friends from our town was at a cheer competition in Dallas two weeks ago, and the audience girls rushed the stage like he was Justin Bieber. They are all like clones with their heavy spray tans, heavily sprayed and dyed hair, and skinny with 6 pack abs. They even have to all follow the same diet to look uniform.
We have a sick society....
