Indian Actress Juhi Parmar decided to take her 10 year-old daughter to see the new PG-13 Barbie movie. Parmar ended up leaving the theater 10-15 minutes after the movie started because she was outraged by the content. She decided to pen the following letter to the producers of the movie. It read: "Dear Barbie, I start with owning up to my mistake, I took my 10 year old daughter Samairra to watch your film without researching the fact that it was a ‘PG-13' movie. 10 minutes into the movie, inappropriate language, sexual connotations and I was anxiously running out of the theater wondering what had I just exposed my child to. She had been waiting to watch your film and here I was just shocked, disappointed and heartbroken with what I had just exposed her to. I was the first one to walk out of the movie within 10/15 minutes and by the time I reached out, I saw other parents following with their little ones crying, while some parents chose to stay back to watch the entire movie. I’m glad though that I chose to walk out within 10-15 minutes as I didn’t even want to think about how much worse it would have gotten…. In fact I would say leave Pg-13, the language and content in your film Barbie is inappropriate even for children 13 and above." I must admit I didn't see the film. Is it really as bad as Parmar makes it out to be though?

Yes, it was a high school elective.

I'm almost finished with the first draft of the fourth Trisha Carson mystery. Then comes the editing. What's harder for you? Writing? Editing? #writers #writersoftwitter #writerscommunity
