Too much skin showing at school?

LOVE most of what Eddie Bauer makes. Good quality, flattering, durable clothing.

I bought a great jacket from LL Bean this winter. Very similar to Eddie Bauer. I have some Eddie Bauer stuff- great for doing stuff outdoors.

When at a Denny's I took my daughter to the bathroom. While in there I saw a teenage girl who was changing out of cute jeans and a sweatshirt into something that looked... Well, you can imagine. I actually felt sad for the parents she was obviously duping (although, we've probably all done that as teenagers. it's just sad when you get to the age of the tables being turned). I noticed her belly and realized it was as big as mine. The difference being (1)I am a 30 year old who has had four children and (2) I don't wear low-rise jeans.

Three of the most useless things in the world: boobs on a dyke, balls on a fag, and the opinion of a teenager.

Hey ......I have no problem with boobs on a dyke (as long as she is pretty).

Thinking about baseball always worked faster than anything I tried

LOL!

My God, if someone provided a satisfactory answer to that question I'd be a much saner man!

Hmmm. Just one picture of an attractively dressed highschool girl. I don't think there's any cause for alarm.

Last weekend I took my 6yo girl to see the Clifford movie (which happened to be playing at the mall).

I seldom go to the mall.

Thankfully our movie houses are separate.

Last time I went to the mall. I thought that the red light district had moved indoors.

The clothes that are offered for teenage girls these days are awlful. We refused to buy most of them for our daughter, and she refused to wear anything from LL Bean or Land's End ( because WE wore clothes from them, making them taboo in teenage girl land), so we bought her a sewing machine.

She learned to sew so well that she just accepted an internship making costumes for a family theater company, and is planning to go to fashion design school in a few years. And I made her promise to design a line of DECENT and MODEST young girls clothing first thing.

There are schoolgirl uniforms, and then there are schoolgirl uniforms...

"Last time I went to the mall. I thought that the red light district had moved indoors."

LOL- sooooo true. I never go there to shop, just happened it was the only local theater showing the movie. That just cracked me up because it is so accurate....

"She learned to sew so well that she just accepted an internship making costumes for a family theater company, and is planning to go to fashion design school in a few years. And I made her promise to design a line of DECENT and MODEST young girls clothing first thing."

That is just fabulous. Good for you for putting your foot down, and good for you daughter's stunning accomplishment!

Thanks Skooz, I do my best to enjoy every minute. I know that "suddenly", she will be a teenager. I'm girding my loins because she is already a drama queen - I can only imagine how it will be with the addition of hormones-lol. But right now she wants to be like mommy, and I'm wallowing in it while I can!

Being a student at a high school (and rural, too!), I can, unfortunately, confirm these allegations. Being your typical teenage male, it's not ALL bad ;) - but still, it's been taken way too far.

Blame the liberals for destroying this country's ethics and morality. Blame Hollywood for peddling smut and glamourizing sex. Blame Hollywood again for promoting anorexia. It's sad, really...

No.

What is insane, are today's standards.

"I'm 16. I can legally drive. But people are going to tell me (what's) appropriate for school?"

Anyone who posts in Free Republic and doesn't see the pathetically extreme disconnect from reality in this statement, should stop posting.

Parenthetically, this might be the best argument for reconsidering allowing 16-year-olds to drive.

Good for her. Our daughter is homeschooled, so doesn't have the pressure from other girls to conform. But even when she WAS in school, she thought all that 'lastest fashion' stuff was stupid. Needless to say, she didn't have a lot of friends.
