[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] I HATE that some of the girls wear such skimpy clothing. Super short shorts and crop tops.   I don't let my DD out of the house wearing that kind of thing, BUT, I can't control what she does when she leaves the house.  I know she rolls up her shorts and ties up her shirt when she leaves the house. I'm not happy about it, but I can't stop it.

My older DS (now in HS)  told me that a lot of girls dress that way in MS, and that the way DD dresses is not out of the ordinary and is also much more tame than some of the other girls in MS.  I hate it.  I do wish they wore uniforms.  It would be so much easier, but when I think back to when I was in MS, I would've hated uniforms, so I don't blame kids who don't want strict uniforms. I just wish they didn't dress like that.[/quote]

Wouldn't it be great if society, collectively, spent less time condemning the clothing choices of girls and young women? Just imagine what we could do with the mental energy that would free up.[/quote]

[b]Wouldn't it be great for society if people like you would teach girls that their worth comes from their mind and character and not from their booty?  [/b]

What a girl wears on her own time should be her choice.  What she wears in a government funded site for learning should reflect her task, which is to improve her mind.  Professionalism, please.  It won't hurt to teach it earlier.[/quote]

I do. And you know what really helps with that? When people don't obsess about the clothing choices of girls and young women. Please focus on their mind and character, not their clothing choices. Thank you.[/quote]
goes hand in hand.. girls wear skimpy clothing because of their self esteem.  How many seriously studious girls wear skimpy clothing?  Would you be ok with your DD wearing her underwear to school?[/quote]
