[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Unfortunately you are at a disadvantage since her mother has no problem with it. I see so many teen girls who look like trash. Skirts are way too short, bra straps showing, black bra under white top, bad make up. I just feel bad for these girls because they look awful, and they do not have a mother who is helping them look appropriate.[/quote] If you don't have a teenage daughter, you really, really shouldn't judge. Once they reach a certain age, you cannot dictate what they wear. You can try, I suppose, but unless you have a particularly pliable child there's nothing you can do. Tell a 16 year-old to wear her makeup differently? That makes me laugh. At this age its their developmental task to create their own identity and it isn't always pretty in the process. But the girls with the controlling parents have a much tougher time down the road. If you have a younger daughter you will find out soon enough.[/quote]
