The Little Prince(ss)

The article "Clothes encounter provides poignant lesson for son," was almost heartbreaking.  The three year old boy loves all his clothes and toys, whether they were meant to be for a boy or a girl. He loves dressing up like a construction worker the exact same amount that he loves dressing up like a princess.  However, society has told him that it's not okay for a little boy to like princess things. I believe the individuality in the kid's interests should be embraced and he should be able to wear the clothes he likes without being teased or judged by other kids. People in today's society care to much about judging what other's do. Too often people are put down for not following society's rules about gender roles. If everybody replaced their criticisms with compliments, the world would be a much better place for today's youth to grow up in.
