		<title>"So What" Music Discussion</title>
		<description>
            Do your kids know how to respond to hurt... in a healthy way? One of the most popular songs and videos our 
            kids are watching right now shows a great example of how NOT to deal with hurt. Pink's edgy "So What" video 
            is a great discussion starter to get kids talking.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
            
            &lt;b&gt;Main Point of Discussion:&lt;/b&gt; Dealing with hurt... in a way that doesn't hurt more in the long 
            run!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
            
            &lt;b&gt;The Music Video:&lt;/b&gt; "So What"&lt;br /&gt;
            Pink's "So What" song is #1 on iTunes this week and #2 on Billboard's hot 100. Pink performed it live at the 
            MTV Video Music Awards last month. Most kids are familiar with the song. The question is... have they really 
            weighed out the message that this song is communicating?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
            
            Today's youth are being taught to just react, disregarding the consequences. Their role models react this way, 
            why should they act any different...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
            
            &lt;i&gt;(CAUTION: Read our warning about using this video for a discussion starter- it's very 
            edgy)&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
