1. They are in high school so not pre-teens 2. Are you really saying young woman who wear micro dresses to hoco are prostitutes or sluts? You are raising your own kids to believe this sexist, shallow, and superficial theory but yet you think you are a good parent? Ouch 3. Most teens with strict parents rebel. As a HS teacher girls change clothes in school and dances all the time. |
You are so disturbing. I truly hope you are a troll. |
A confident girl would skip the biker shorts and go commando. ClUTcHiNG PeARllllSsss. |
Yup, you're just saying things for shock value. Got it. |
We got my daughter’s HoCo dress at Windsor. She looks great in it and she loves it! |
Those dresses look like underwear. If girls don't want to be objectified they shouldn't put all the goods on display. It's trashy. |
FFS, why do some of you care so much about what my kid is wearing? If it doesn’t bother me, it shouldn’t bother you. She’s wearing what she likes and it’s not like she’s naked. Un-clutch the damn pearls, people. |
Are you saying your daughter has confidence issues? I am glad you admitted that. In that case, I agree she should not wear a little mini dress!! Many of our daughters feel confident and comfortable wearing short homecoming dresses. I live in a warm climate and kids wear shorts, tank tops, halters all the time. Plus, bathing suits and bikinis the whole summer. There is not the sense one should cover up her body. Perhaps it’s cultural, I don’t know, but please don’t extract your situation and apply it to others. |
What do you think is appropriate for homecoming? Show us what you deem acceptable. |
This is a hilarious conversation to me. I’m a conservative (generally), have a 14 year old daughter, and think the people in this thread attempting to body shame teenagers are disgusting. For God’s sake, they are young and figuring things out. Let them be. If they want to wear a short dress, let them. I’ll let my daughter wear what she wants. If it’s short enough that she needs biker shorts, then I’ll suggest them. I wish I had her confidence at her age. She has the right to wear whatever she wants to (it’s still America!) |
How exactly are they being pimped out? |
All this. My senior girl dresses modestly for religious reasons, but doesn’t shame anyone for dressing differently. It’s a personal choice. |
Northwood’s theme was Vegas. Plenty of sequins. |
Your DD can wear whatever she likes. What most PPs are saying is that we are all judged for what we wear and teen girls are no exception. I see a teen girl dressed per your description and I usually think that they are vapid and don't have much to offer. In my experience, that has not been far off the mark and I've told my DD that you can usually tell which girls have something to offer and those that don't. If you're wrapped up in selling yourself as a sexual object don't be surprised when you are not viewed as anything else. The idea is to try to instill a greater sense of self worth for young girls and promote the idea that they have a purpose beyond male attention seeking. No one has said to cover your entire body. We're not pushing burkas. But the masses seem to think that the Kim Kardashians of this world are a great role model for girls and that's precisely the issue. Girls (and their mothers) support the notion that women have no place in this world unless you've sold yourself half naked. Shame. |
This. So young yet so sexust and ignorant. |
