The Kim Kardashian, Paris Hilton Role Models and the Wrong Female Image of Self-Worth

Parents who strive to keep their daughters chaste are battling social media and a celebrity culture that rewards women who gain fame and fortune by over-sexualizing themselves at a young age.

With the accessibility of social media on iPhones, Skype, and sex-texting and videos, an increasing number of women, especially young girls, are being negatively impacted by their bad decisions.
