How short should shorts be?

I'm half asian and half latina. I've lived most of my years in Asia and from my hometown, people are more conservative than here in Peru. Though I try to adapt or at least get used to the culture, there are just some things that quite bother me. Other than the fact that latinas have bigger body size and evident curves, they are proud to show it in public. I admire their guts to wear tight jeans and low neck tops. If I were to wear that back in my hometown, people would be thinking I'm a hooker or something. But here, it's very normal. Women know they look good and they're owning it, which is great until... I was walking back home from work when I saw two teenage girls walking towards me. I remember so well that it was almost summer, so seeing them wearing summer clothes--very soft and light fabric for the top and shorts--I thought was normal. Just before they passed right by me, they had turned to the right to cross the road. For some reason I looked at them from behind and my eyes almost popped out of my eye sockets. Both of them were wearing shorts, right? One of them was wearing a pair of shorts that was sooo short, you can see her butt crease. That was just as short as an underwear to me. I've seen female singers and dancers wearing those really short shorts, especially those women who dance twerk on trap music. A lot of young people get inspired by the way celebs look and wear. But damn! That girl is only around 13 to 15. I wondered what her parents were thinking. Or, haven't they even noticed what she was wearing? I doubt that parents are unaware of the fact that Peru is one of the countries where men molesting women is something prevalent. But then again, I wonder if parents, especially mothers, like how they see their daughters being proud of their bodies to the point where they expose too much skin at a very young age. Mom is peruvian and yet she teaches us how to be discreet not only in our words and actions, but also in how we look. I bet Mom would tear those shorts and burn them if she were that girl's mother. Anyway, let me know what you think if you were that girl and/or her parent.
