[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Firstly, even if you're 75, you should not be using the word "brassiere". Just retire that word.

[b]Secondly, my kids said by the spring of 6th grade, EVERY girl was wearing a bralette whether or not they needed one, except for the one really weird girl. 
[/b]
Thirdly, she can just wear whatever kind of top they have to wear on gym days so she doesn't have to change. My DD got two white t-shirts and wore them all day. She didn't care because "Nobody sweats in gym, and anyway it's my 2nd to last class of the day." [/quote]

OP here.

See, it's because of people like you and your children that I'm mildly worried. 
And I use the word brassiere, OP, because in my native language that's the actual word. I thought it was also used in English. [/quote]

I didn't realize English wasn't your first language. Here, it's considered a very old -lady term. Our grandmas used that word. My grandma has been dead since 1994. Don't worry about your kid being The Weird Kid. Get her a bralette and put it in her room (Target is great for this, as is Aerie or Gap Body or Old Navy) and if she notices everyone else is wearing one, she'll decide to wear hers. [/quote]
