Rachel, I was appaled at the pictures at first, but ultimately I blame her parents. She’s a child. Children do not make wise decisions. I teach teenagers and teenagers make MANY stupid decisions. They need guidance, and her parents should have stepped up and stopped it. My biggest problem with the pictures is truly that her fan base is YOUNG girls and this is not setting a very good example. I’ve read recent speculation though that i might have all been a very deliberate act to move her into the adult world as she is now coming out with this Miley CD and such and moving away from Hannah Montana.
