I believe education is trying to do, and probably in some instance is doing, a much better job and a very good job. If it's not within the actual walls of the school, there are all kinds of organizations now. It's not kind of Girl Guides and Boy Scouts anymore. There are absolute groups that focus on young girls and engaging them more in sport and in activities other than what has been traditional.
I actually do think the education system is moving forward, and socially we now can all do our part. If I'm asked to attend something in Banff with young girls, I make sure I'm there. You need to put yourself out as a role model. I feel pretty hopeful. I feel pretty hopeful with what Jenelle said, that maybe in another generation from now we will be talking about “remember when?” I really encourage us in the education system and it has to start before ages 14 and 15. I've had 14- and 15-year-old girls around my house, and we really need to start sooner than that.
My sons are 26 and 23, and it still shocks me when sometimes we have some young ladies in the house and how attached they are to their looks and social media and that's what makes them popular. For me, that part is still really disturbing. I would like to think maybe it's our five-, six-, and seven-year-olds and those new baby girls who are being born who won't have to be subjected to that.
