Her personality is oppisite of her music tastes , movie choices and book choices. Normally she's like....like....uh, Massie Block.

She knows curse words, so she doesnt listen to clean versions.

Also, she watches movies like this:

Mean Girls (PG-13)

The Scary Movies (PG-13, I think ones R)

The Orphanage (R)

Epic Movie (PG-13)

Sweeny Todd (Not sure...)

and movies like that.

What do you think of this?

Explain why you think it too.

Answer 1

That's normal, I like those bands and movies too. We're almost the same age.

Answer 2

One simple word: peers.

Tweens and teens mostly operate in this fashion. I'll like what I really like away from my friends and like what my friends like around them.

Answer 3

is she emo?

Answer 4

For 11yrs old, I think this is about normal especially if she has older siblings perhaps or anyone older to look up to interested in this music. My high school starts at 7th grade, and I know when i was in 7th grade about 5yrs ago, I had no idea what any of those bands were. It's not a bad thing she likes that music, it express her creativity and imagination, you can't change somebodys interest in music, nor movies.

Every pre-teen to late-teenagers love movies like the Epic Movie, Mean Girls and the series of Scary Movies, it's how society taught us to grow up, there is no changing that.

I wouldn't worry so much about it, you can't change her view on things like that, she's a kid, let her grow up with freedom of picking out her own movies and music, but there is an exception to stay away from rated R and X movies, the PG13s are just for uptight parents i know i watched PG13 when i was 11.

Answer 5

Makes no difference what I think or what YOU think.  You are not this child's parent so it's none of your business.
