When summers get hot,young girls (and it seems they are getting younger and younger) are wearing less and less.
Today on my way from work, saw these 14/15-year-olds out and about in outfits that did not cover much.I'm not judgemental or anything like that, l also put on less fabric when it`s hot,but should parents accept teens going out half naked?
We had discussions here if such outfits should be allowed in schools last year,l dont know how it ended but parents should have some say how teen girls go out.
I know some will not agree but this is how l feel,you do not want some sleazy person looking at your 13-year-old in the wrong way because of how she`s dressed.

Some parents may be okay with their kids wearing clothes that barely cover much, but I'm not. At the moment, my kids are at the age where we still have a large say in their clothes, but when they hit those teenage years, I still won't let them go out looking like a **** (you can fill the blank). Sorry, but I want my kids to look decent and wear clothes that are appropriate, no matter their age. At the end of the day, I am still their mom. They don't have to like it, but it's just how I feel.

I agree. I feel that a lot of clothes now a days are made to be skimpy, less fabric, revealing. To the beach it is okay or the pool. But in general public area I cannot.

@miniam Sometimes the kids will buy on their own without their parents knowledge.

Makes me wonder what the parents were thinking when they buy their kids such outfits.

I have seen little girls in very skimpy outfits. You can wear summer clothing without it being sexualized and I think that parents are to blame for not enforcing decency standards in their daughters.

@miniam I know, I always dressed my daughter modestly, she had shorts and tank tops but nothing revealing.

@BelleStarr
How/why would a parent buy such an outfit in the first place?

It`s more for keeping them safe, if not for anything else

@miniam I know that some say that you have the right to dress like you want and to be respect, but this is the theory. Throw a steak to a hungry lion and pretend that he does not touch it. People should be more realistic and parents more caring.

In all ages, young people have tried to dress differently than their elders. I would need a picture to reply exactly your post. But I remember when I was young and the mini skirt came into being. It was the time of Mary Quant (now Dame Mary Quant), model Twiggy and The Beatles (parents did not like them because of their long hair). Now everyone is tattooed and they have earrings everywhere. If I were a parent, I would prefer they wore scant clothes (they can outgrow that) to being tattooed completly for life.

Can see your point, l dont know how it is in Chile, but in the summer here,it`S common to see Bu**** cheeks hanging out from some mono skirt,remember these are young people using public transport, our buses and trains have seats so people seat facing each other, it gets very uncomfortable when one of these girls are sitting next to you, l dont want to sit and be looking at someone`s privates

Sensible dress is acceptable, non sensible dress is nothing but insensible

Thank goodness I don't have a daughter lol! Seriously, I wouldn't allow my daughter, if i had one to dress up like that. The girls in my son's schools don't wear such clothes at all. The school is very strict about the dress code when they're having parties at school. They wear uniforms on school days.

Dressing properly/appropriately when out the window with manners.

What worry me is when you see some much older men looking at these innocent and nà ive girls in a way that`s not so nice at all.
