News: Sexy Clothes Worn By Teens

My daughter and I just returned from a week of camping with the young women of our church - 120 girls from age 12 to 17. Dress standards include shorts to the knee, and shirts that cover the midriff and have at least a cap sleeve, and bathing suits that cover the midriff. It was refreshing not to have to deal with a lot of exposed skin all week! I know there were a few who felt it was too much, but really - only a few. When girls are taught to dress modestly, it teaches them to respect themselves and their own bodies. It's not just about self-esteem, but about respect, too. Mom - yes, it is often true that how the mother dresses, the daughter will dress also. Not just because the mother sets the example, but often because the mother buys the clothes! I think that's a sad situation when the mother is dressing inappropriately and immodestly - and I see that a lot. I'm trying my best to teach my daughter a different path, and I hope she can be an example to her circle of friends. [See Similar Topics]
