Michael Jackson: A Parent’s Perspective

The King of Pop will live on forever. The gravity-defying moonwalk, the sequined glove, the cropped pants, and black loafers – Michael defined my generation. I can document my life by his music. When the news broke of his sudden death, I (like the rest of the world) was stunned, shocked and saddened – now a week later, I still can’t believe Michael Jackson is gone!

When I returned home from work on June 25, I told my 14-year-old daughter about his death. …To which she replied, “Why are you upset about him? Isn’t he the creepy guy who slept with young boys?”

My daughter’s reaction shocked me!

While, I am not here to debate Michael’s addiction to painkillers, his questionable relationship with children, or his gasp-worthy plastic surgery, I do believe there are many life lessons we as parents can pass on to our children about Michael’s complicated and seemingly very lonely life.
