It's
prom season. Bathing suit season is around the corner. These
seasons strike fear in the hearts of parents of girls everywhere.
The seasons should also strike fear in the hearts of the parents of
the boys whom those girls will date. And, it isn't because of the
price tag that comes with the seasons (that's a topic for another
article). If you log into Facebook, you may be shocked to see the
dresses that adorn the bodies of the girls next door. Strapless,
backless, necklines that are too low, hemlines that are too short.
(Let's also not forget the tanning, manis and pedis, hairstyles,
and make-up sessions that make these young ladies look years beyond

Hope.
It's a word we hear often spoken by children around the time of
their birthdays and Christmas ("I hope I get ________!") It's also
a pretty girl's name. But, hope is so much more. Hope is a very
powerful word and an even more powerful emotion.
Think of the times when you had hope. Perhaps it was at your

Pornography has been around for centuries. One of the earliest
forms of pornography consisted of sexually explicit
engravings[i]. Today,
pornography ranges from magazines, to movies, to downloads on your
handheld device. What was considered extreme in the early 1900's
