Actions speak louder than words, and the fact that the older bheortr skinnydips with his family speaks volumes. He's not a typical nudist teen dropout, then.Of course in the bubble universe that this reporter portrayed, I feel like I'm watching the ONLY nudist family in the world.  There doesn't seem to be any reference to the youth director (who happens to be on my facebook if not on the news), nor are there references to other nudist teens or youth activity outside the family.And what's up with not interviewing the daughter? Or was she Alex's playmate?I've talked to many nudist kids, and I'm also sorry to say that Alex isn't particularly insightful, he's just a regular kid.  Does he excel in any particular subject? Does he have any special talents? Guess we'll never know from this report.Most nudist kids I know are extremely creative, have a well developed sense of humor and can read body language.  They can look at a naturist photo and a Playboy photo and tell you the difference in what that image conveys.  But there is no sign of that anywhere in the broadcast. People are so concerned that nudist kids lose something by living outside of the textile world, but why don't we show them what they gain?

I'm glad you're doing well with the health pragorm!  I have been following your blog since the Penn. days, and really enjoy reading your comments.  I have moved to Middle Tn. on some land in the last year from the Pacific NW, and have also lost weight due to labor on the farm.  My wife is an excellent cook and we have been watching what we eat for many years.  Now we can also grow some of what we eat!

I'm with you Melisa I tell everyone I'm a nuidst. Ssimply because I refuse to be ashamed of something that has been so good for me. I love it, it has cut way down on my stress levels. At first my family and friends were like uhh, okay, I guess? But as they have learned more about it from me they realize it is just a part of who I am. I think this is the only way to legitimize social nudism in the eyes of the public one person at a time through interaction with real people who just so happen to enjoy social nudism. Simple when you think of it. I mean how to a lot of us learn about the world? Through interaction it is the things that are unknown that are mysterious and weird. So let the cat out of the bag you never know who else might be one too.
