I Need Help

Blue Virgo

So, I'm supposed to be doing this thing with 7th & 8th grade girls where I give them songs and they try to decipher the meaning behind them. The whole "class" is geared towards girls sticking together, learning to value themselves, and other things along those lines.

So far I've only come up with "A Rose is Still a Rose". I think that song has a very positive message and I need others like it.

please help me.

I forgot to bring my headphones in the lab so I'll listen when I get home.

depends the mix of your class

Maybe I don't have enough faith in my kids, but I doubt that I can get them to pay attention to this for 8 1/2 minutes without a catchy beat or something to keep them interested.

Thanks for all the suggestions! I'm adding them to a playlist as I see them. I need about 13-15.

I was also thinking "Unpretty" by TLC would be a good pick.

Good list.
We're doing a joint class where the male & female staff will have a list for the boys & girls and they'll discuss Lauryn's song.
Thanks for the suggestions.
