Reminds me of Purity Balls, which I find a bit disturbing. [huffingtonpost.com]

There are still some f'ed up people out there. Maybe not at that extreme, but I have witnessed parents getting involved in their kids' lives. When I taught, a man, Spanish teacher and father to high school age son, worked in conjunction with a woman, a counselor (yes, sounds like out of a soap opera) with a high school daughter to manipulate their kids who had recent broken up as boy/girl friend and worked to get the two back together again. Of course, in time, they finally spiltvup for good.

No, that is not normal!

No that’s definitely weird

sorry but that is not what all or even most straight people say. all the straight people i know say be who you are, and teach kids to accept people for who they are. being straight doesn't automatically make someone an asshole.

This ... this ... this is why the aliens don't contact us.

Not a clue. . .

Rather doubt this is a norm . . .

looks more like a parent's photo shoot to try to show how cute their kids are.

I bet the same people who do this are the ones who put their kids in those beauty pageants. Terrible.
