6th grader wants to wear off shoulder and belly button showing tops

[Anonymous]

She insists that this is the fashion in her school.

Do middle schoolers that young actually wear these things? The kids I have seen haven't in the bus stops.

I don’t care what others are doing - not happening with my daughter.

Yes my sixth grader wears such things. Though generally an off the shoulder top would be worn with a tank top under. And no super shirt crop tops but yes her midriff is sometimes exposed an inch or two

I don’t believe in weird policing or over sexualizing of girls bodies.

Always thought it odd in the USA how dress codes for kids are so strict for regular students, but cheerleaders get to wear super short skirts and do flips showing off their undies and such, and the later is acceptable.

They are doing a sport. Similar to dance. Requires a certain uniform.

I take and pick up my 6th grader to her private every day. Not one girl dresses like that. But in publics, they are mini-adults.

They are wearing shorts under the cheerleading skirt.

Exposing midriff not at all sexualizing. Dumb ass.

You aren't too bright, are you? I agree there is nothing sexual about a little exposed midriff in a young girl. I think forcing your child to never ever expose their midriff because you see it as a sexual thing is warped. We are aligned, moron.

Yes this is what middle school girls wear at middle schools for the poor. (Ie where the cheapest house on the block is 1.4M).

At the beginning of sixth, I didn’t see this. But by end of 6th and into 7th, yes, most the girls dress like this. None of it looks inappropriate to me. The cropped shirts aren’t super cropped. And either the off the shoulder look is generally over a tank top or a sports bra with think straps. I think it is fine. I wore less in 7th grade in 1985s

I hope you enjoy being a grandma.

Yes the middle school girls in my kid’s UMC middle school have their midriffs showing and their actual behind cheeks hanging out of their shorts.

Nothing that they do requires bare legs and stomaches does it? They could just as easily wear leggings.

That’s trashy behavior and days much about your parenting if you freely allow it. During the summer at home by themselves fine, but in school around pubescent boys? Hell no!

I don’t think a belly button is sexual. Nor a shoulder. I let my dd wear these things because she’s comfortable in her body and I never was, I’m glad she has that confidence. If another kid gets turned on by her shoulder that’s not something I can control. People have foot fetishes but we all wear sandals and flip flops in the summer.
