    Teaches morals and values. I like that for my kids. hide show

    I reviewed it and I loved it especially the, "Tween Idol" music (Never Give Up). I teach my children that same thing. Believe it or not, it just so happen that I composed and wrote the music for that particular scene. However, that's not why I like the episode. It's such a good influence for children to know that no matter how you look or what people think of you. You can really be and do anything that you choose to do in life. As long as you believe in yourself and stay focused on your dream. You also have to have good parenting and gr8 support.
