[b]The OP is right. [/b] A few years ago, my middle school neighbor ran into this.  She was much more developed than the other girls but wore pants that were to short and too tight, tees that were too small, etc.  She appeared babyish and was a magnet for unwanted male attention because they thought she was naive.

Fortunately, the neighborhood girls really liked her and  took her shopping with her mom's approval and it made all the difference in her appearance.  She fit in with her peers and was no longer a target.  [/quote]

+ 1 Fellow educator here.  So some of you cannot fight this battle, and that is fine - but some of you who are reading this can fight it and need to be realistic. School is not Utopia for G-d's sale.  (Neither is your place of work, the neighborhood pub, or even your Christian church!).  Hygiene and appropriate appearance matter.   It may be one more thing you have to care about in an already overwhelming situation, but yeah - it's one more thing you have to care about. Sorry. [/quote]

Don't you get it? You're preaching to the choir. Ridiculous to think we don't know that this matters or it could make s huge difference. It's not a question of being right. It's a question of what's possible.[/quote]
