I've seen so many pictures where the girl looks uncomfortable because their dress is too short and showing too much cleavage. They are uncomfortable and it shows. There are fat girls wearing these tiny dresses in baby pink and or baby blue. Their stomach and rolls are just unattractive. I said it. Fight me. Wear black, it hides a lot of things. A little black dress is a woman's best friend. Young girls need to learn that.

Girls don’t need to learn anything to please you. Wear what you want and leave them alone.

Shame on all of you. Worry about yourselves and your kids. And it's fine to not like it, but to slap labels on these girls is revolting.

Yes, it's definitely sexism to wear clothes meant to attract male attention. I'm glad you agree!

I am not a prude and not religious, etc - generally not a judgy person - but I am feeling like an old person with my reaction to these revealing dresses on young girls.

Am I alone?! Asking anonymously because I know I’ll sound judgy if I ask my friends who are parents of these girls. Dreading my daughter entering this scene and not sure how I’ll deal!

Just curious for thoughts on this topic.

Sorry, I quoted the wrong post before. Here’s my comment:

No, you are not alone. It’s really quite appalling. Basically glorified loincloths passing for “dresses”.

I love you.

Women have the right to expose as much of their erogenous zones as they choose.

ITS A WOMANS CHOICE!

Exactly. Exposing your booty is how you attract and hook up with a boyfriend. Or a girlfriend.

Has it really been so long that you’ve forgotten the point of prom and Homecoming? The point is to get laid.

That's so white of you, you don't speak for everybody. There are people on this earth that find that to be very attractive and actually preferred.

Yeah I think this is so strange too. If you want to post pics of your teens, post your annual holiday photo with everyone in jeans and sweaters!

You think it’s strange that parents are posting pics of high school dances that their kids are attending? To me, it’s no different than posting first or last day of school pics. It’s documenting an event in their kids’ lives.

I actually do think it's weird to post pix of your kids in skimpy clothing. Yes I judge - it makes it look like the clothing has the parent seal of approval and the parent is showing it off.

I am not judging the kids and if they take their own pix and share with friends, post etc that's one thing. But the parent part showing this off to older adult friends feels icky.

Many girls just like the way they look and don't care what guys or Karens think.

Boys see girls in volleyball shorts, they aren't really phased by these dresses.

That is because you have a disordered way of looking at young girls.
