Just leave well enough alone. Let her tell you when she's ready for a bra.

It might make you feel awkward but if she's not feeling awkward don't impose stress on her.

If she wants to wear thick, non-clingy fabrics it’s fine. But so many shirts these days are thin and clingy and that would not work for me. When my DD was in this phase we discussed which tops needed a bra and which ones didn’t. But it’s like deodorant and toothpaste - it’s not a suggestion.

What on earth? Who really cares? I'm a b cup who occasionally goes braless. Why is this even a big deal?

10 year olds wear bras now?!

I've noticed a lot less bra wearing since covid. I don't usually force my kids to wear one but I encourage it because of leering men.

Oh please. No one is looking or caring whether your 10 yr old has a bra on.

I hope you don’t have a daughter because you are negligently naive if you believe that.

Why does she need to wear one? Let her be.

This! I know plenty of small-breasted adult women who eschew bras, and I doubt your daughter is even an A cup.

Gross. No thanks.

Not wearing a bra is gross? Women's bodies are gross?

Please don't teach your daughter that without a bra, her body is gross.

Don't we wish that was the world we lived in.

Teens sometimes make poor clothing choices.

Do you choose to parent your teen? Or just abdicate?

Wow, these comments are so interesting to me. When I started middle school in 6th grade and we had to change in the locker rooms I was mortified to learn I was the only one without a bra (and got looks/teasing). I went out and bought myself bc my mom was being weird about it. I really didn’t need it but wanted it for changing purposes and to fit in.

I wish they’d come up with a new word for “breast buds.” We use the words “vagina” and “penis” at my house but we won’t be using “breast buds.”

And so? No one is hurting you bc they looked at you. I’m a woman and I have two daughters. I don’t notice or care about leering.
