I consider myself a pretty liberal parent but some things bother me about the way teen girls dress these days. I can relate to the issue of thongs because 2 weeks ago i went shopping with my 14 yr old, 8th grade daughter for her new school clothes and she went right toward the super low jeans and short skirts. I dont know what i was thinking when i bought her jeans but when she wore them the other day for the first time for school it looked like she was going clubbing in vegas. My husband basically flipped out when she was sitting there and her thong was showing, and everyday since has been a battle over what she wears to school. I'm not prude at all and even when she was 13 i didnt say anything about her clothes, i didnt see anything wrong with a little bit of tummy showing. But it's so hard now to regulate, mainly because she has friends that are of the rebellious type and being that we have 2 working parents its tough to keep an eye on her. I just wish her school would enforce tougher rules on the way the kids dress. For instance, my daughter is a cheerleader and even her cheerleading uniform crosses the line a bit. Indeed it's not slutty looking but it does have a shorter than normal skirt with a top that shows her stomach slightly. I agree thats the way those uniforms are meant to be but i can't believe they let these girls wear them to school. so anyway......theres my rant.
