“with so many mixed messages out there” No kidding.
Not excuse bad/criminal behavior on the part of young men but last night I was going home with my young teenaged son from an event and we stopped to get a soda. There were 5 girls in there and everyone of them had on shorts up to their crotch and tight fitting a-frame t-shirts and their bra straps hanging out and more make-up than a rodeo clown. What exactly do these girls want and expect when it doesn’t quite go the way the thought it would?
We had a 16 yr. old foster daughter years ago that we bought nice jeans for. We let her wear them to school. My wife gets a call saying that the girls attire was inappropriate, that her shorts were to short. When my wife got to the school she found out that the "little Angel" had snuck a pair of Daisy Dukes and changed into those.
My wife had her change into a pair of my baggy sweats and red hunting suspenders. She then informed the child in front of the school nurse, Principal, and Guidance counselor, that if she pulled a stunt like this again; the sweats and suspenders would be her normal school attire.
Problem solved.
Not to mention many girls now send pictures of themselves wearing even less or nothing to boys, along with sexy messages. It seems to be a very confusing time for kids to grow up- everything goes, but then not really. If attention is wanted it is all good but if there is no interest in the person doing it then it is criminal...
