a hoodrat, is just a girl who needs love.
i had a dream. a dream that every little girl had a positive male role model & influence in her life. that she had someone to protect her. someone to direct her. someone to love her, the right way. someone who made her look at herself, and see strength. someone who made her want, expect, need better for every aspect of her life. someone who let her know it's okay to depend on someone, as long as they have your best interest at heart. she needs someone to tell her she's beautiful, but not to lead her to believe that's all she has going for herself. she needs a man to show her how men are suppose to treat a woman: their daughters, their wives, their mothers, their sisters, their nieces, any woman.
little boys aren't the only one's that need their fathers. they aren't the only one's who lose direction without a male role model in their life. little girls fall victim to not knowing what makes a man a man. it isn't tattoos. it isn't their stature. it has very little to do with their physical appearance. it's their upbringing. it's their values. it's the things that have been instilled in them that makes them different from all the other guys who never did you right. a hoodrat is a victim of a bad mentality. and it doesn't always correlate to not having a good father. there are plenty of good fathers out there with wild ass misguided daughters. just saying, if there were MORE fathers who cared enough about their daughters there would be less women who cared so little about themselves.
love your daughters.

this is beautiful and the truth!!Girls suffer too from not having their fathers, I have always had mine but some of my female cousins didn't and there an big difference between me and them.
@sunshinestar110: thanks. yea...i hear so many chicks think so low of themselves. and to me i think, why hasn't someone reassured you that you're better? i know if i had a little girl, i'd never let her look down on herself. would never let her not know what it feels like to be loved. i think a lot of girls search for that feeling from guys who don't even have the ability to show them.
