computers, or did nothing. The children studying the piano were better at the puzzles．Also, high
school students with a musical background seem to do better in their SATs，Whether it's natural
intelligence that helps the children do better in both music and math，or the music that helps
develop other areas, you can't deny the benefits of a musical background.
    On the other hand, it's possible that some music and lyrics（歌词）could be had for children
and teenagers．The lyrics of today's popular music are stated more and more clearly. A study oil
mass media and teenagers showed that a group of 14- to 16-year-olds in 10 different southeastern
cities listened to music an average of 40 hours per week. Obviously, the music they are listening
to plays a large part in their lives，and especially influences self-identity. So any bad influences
in the music will have a very direct effect on the teenagers.
　　Several other experiments mentioned in the American Academy of Pediatrics' policy statement on the "Effect of Music Lyrics and Music Videos on Children and Youth" supported this idea. One study from Sweden found that children who developed a preference to rock music were more likely to be influenced by their peers than by their parents. Others showed links between a predilection for heavy metal and detrimental behaviors, including taking drugs, self-killing risk,  and other risk-taking habits. The American Acajeny of Pediatries (AAP)  doesn't support the idea of censorship（检查制度）, but strongly encourages parents to monitor what their children are listening to.

　　"Ok," I said to my daughter as she bent over her afternoon bowl of rice. "What's going on with you and your friend I?" J. is the leader of a group of third-graders at her camp—a position Lucy herself occupied the previous summer. Now she's the one on the outs, and every day at snack time, she tells me all about it, while I offer up the unhelpful advice all summer long.
"She's fond of giving orders ," Lucy complained. "She's fat," Lucy mumbled（含糊地说） ineo he bowl "We are going upstairs," I said, my voice cold, "We are going to discuss this." And up we went.
    I'd spent the nine years since her birth getting ready for this day, the day we'd have to have
the conversation about this horrible word. I knew exactly what to say to the girl on the receiving
end of the teasing（嘲笑），but in all of my imaginings, it never once occurred to me that my
daughter would be the one who used the F word一Fat.
    My daughter sat on her bed, and I sat beside her.“How would you feel if someone made fun
of you for something that wasn't your fault?”I began.“She could stop eating so much,”Lucy
mumbled, mouthing the simple advice a thousand doctors and well-meaning friends and relatives
have given overweight women for years．
    "It's not always that easy,”I said.“Everyone's different in terns of how they treat food”
Lucy looked at me, waiting for me to go on. I opened my mouth，then closed it. Should I tell her
that, in teasing a woman's weight, she's joined the long, proud tradition of critics who go after any
woman with whom they disagree by starting with "you're ugly" and ending with“no man would
want you and there must be something wrong with any man who does"？Should I tell her I didn't
cry when someone posted my picture and commented,“I'm sorry, but aren't authors who write
books marketed to young women supposed to be pretty?”
    Does she need to know, now, that life isn't fair? I feel her eyes on me，waiting for an answer
I don't have. Words are my tools．Stories are my job．It's possible she'll remember what I say
forever, and I have no idea what to say.
    So I tell her the only thing I can come up with that is absolutely true．I say to my daughter,
“I love you，and there is nothing you could ever do to make me not love you，But I'm disappointed in you right now. There are plenty of reasons for not liking someone．What she looks like isn't one of them.”
    Lucy nods，tears on her cheeks．“I won't say that again,”she tells me，and I pull her close,
pressing my nose against her hair. We are both quiet, and I don't know if I have said the right
thing. So as we sit there together, shoulder to shoulder, I pray for her to be smart．I pray for her to
be strong. I pray for her to find friends，work she loves, a partner who loves her, and for the world
not to deprive（剥夺）her of the things that make her who she is，for her life to be easy, and for
her to have the strength to handle it when it's not. And still, always，I pray that she will never
struggle as I've struggled, that weight will never be her cross to bear. She may not be able to use
the word in our home, but I can use it in my head．I pray that she will never get fat．
