  Anything that is not of God is of the world, really. And man, even if her mom was forbidding Sarah McLaughlin or something, I cannot empathize with this girl. If the worst of her home life is that her mother forbids petty things like short skirts and secular music, then the female teen is acting like a self-obsessed infant from Jersey Shore. There are children who get molested by their uncles and beaten by their parents who face the world with more decorum. Don't get me wrong, I think the mother could afford to be more lenient... But I don't think this lack of leniency can account for a hatred of religion or Christ. The mother doesn't keep the daughter from loving Christ and valuing the cross; that is just how the daughter is and will be unless and until God gives her grace enough to react otherwise...

  Well, for all we know, she could be listening to a soft rock song. Even some Christians think thats evil.

  While I agree with the sentiment, a little leaven that leavens a whole lump refers - unless I am sorely mistaken - to pride... not all things that aren't otherwise considered explicitly ungodly. Nevertheless, the female teenager is obviously a very self-centered and boring individual. That she would lash out in such an overly dramatic manner because she can't listen to Britney Spears or whatever, makes me care so very little about the character and her first world problems. I would be fine with this arc ending with her getting hit by a bus :-D.

  ewww. This was my life when my daughter was a "tween". Now that she is going into her late teens we have to let her make her own decisions. She noticed that when she listened to particular songs her behavior and attitude became horrible. She learned the hard way in a few instances how "a little leaven" ruined her "whole loaf". But we were there to love her through it.
