I feel that parents do too much for their kids, like selling GS Cookies for their daughters. It is time for their kids to learn how to get off their fat asses, in most cases, and learn how to make a presentation to strangers and have the joy of getting an order without a parent doing all the work.

Shoot down all the “Hovering” Parents in the US and let kids do responsible things on their own, so they learn how to stand on their own feet and learn how to make their own decisions.

2. I not only think it’s hypocritical for Girl Scouts of America to tout their entrepreneurial value while discouraging a young girl from thinking outside the box and adapting to a new trend, but I also think it’s sad that a girl with good intentions and good ideas cannot try new things. People are afaraid to try social media because it’s new, different, and not the traditional way to sell cookies. This could have been a great opportunity to teach girls that what’s been done in the past is not always the best solution (An key concept in the women’s rights movement!) — Instead it was a major FAIL.
