Embedded Video - Mean Teens Steal Girl Scout’s Cookie Money
I wish I knew how to insert the soundtrack to Mamas, Don’t Let Your Babies Grow Up To Be Cowboys. That’s a techie job for another day.
Anyway, that song was going through my head as I watched this video from Empowered For Life.
This “shocking” video covers an interview of two Teen Girls who snatched a 9-year-old Girl Scout’s cookie money. On camera, these attractive young women explain their crime by saying that “money is money … it was $150 in that envelope and I wanted it.” So, their excuse is that they wanted it and it was easy money.
What?!
All righty, then. I guess that explains it. Yeah.
Once again, mean girls (or boys) demonstrate appalling behavior due to a sense of entitlement.
Contrast this to the selfless giving demonstrated by the girls in the Girl Scouts Rock! video.
Now, I’m not going to tell you that encouraging girls to stay in Girl Scouts as they go through those difficult middle school years is the only way to discourage a self-centered attitude. It’s not.
Lots of girls find their own moral compass, and a road that leads to positive change, without Girl Scouts.
I’m just saying I’d rather parent the child that is selling Girl Scout cookies, than the one stealing the cookie money.
