Would you allow your teenage daughter to dress like this out in public? Why or why not?
Yes. I cannot believe that I am saying that, but yes. And I am one of the most conservative members on this board. I think that as a parent, you need to pick and choose your battles. Ideally I would not want my daughter to dress like that, but more than anything I want her to remain a virgin until marriage and trust me on more important matters like the utter depravity of teenage males who will inevitably hurt her. That said, I would be more willing to turn a blind eye to things that other parents may freak out about. I would know that it is because she wants to feel sexy and have fun with the opposite sex, but I would be sure to teach her that there is such a thing as boundaries, and that sexy fun has to remain just that: sexy fun. She cannot derive her values or sense of self from it.

Of course not. That's only acceptable if you're at the beach or swimming pool, but going around the city dressed like that is completely unacceptable.
I will teach my daughter to know how to present herself in a positive way.

I mean...
I dress like that on my property/at the beach/on vacation all the time.
Plus... if she could pull it off and was a mature, responsible person and didn't wear it like... in the grocery store or at church or to school or something... then I don't care.
Also... what kind of teenager? Like...15 and under? Probably not. Sixteen and over? Sure. And if she were 18 or 19 (technically still teenagers) I kind of have no business telling her how to dress. Ya know?
-
If she wanted to wear this sort of outfit as casual wear, she would need to sit down with me and tell me why, and if she understands the image she is putting out for herself. And, unfortunately, if she is still very young, id tell her to put a tshirt on no matter how good her argument is. Way too young for this kind of behavior, and teen pregnancies are still a thing you know. And the age seems to get younger these days.
-
My mother would not definitely unless I was going to the pool and then it would be iffy. I wouldn't myself because I'm more of a prude (I'm quite self-conscious) but if she is comfortable in her choice and isn't seeking any negative attention I believe it would be reasonable for her to wear it as long as it was of her parents consent.
-
Absolutely would not. As a parent it's my job to teach her to reapect herself and her body, and that is she is freakin gorgeous without having to show off her entire body to the world.
-
Yes why not she looks good if she likes it. I'd dress like that if I looked that good.

I wouldn't even dress like that myself!
The only time that's acceptable in my eyes is when you're going swimming.
I wouldn't allow my hypothetical teenage daughter to wear that when she's younger, but if she's over 18, those sort of decisions about what to wear are up to her. -
Yes if she was going to a pool, beach, or any other body of water. If she tried to wear that anywhere else I drag her back in the house by her hair and make her wear a sweatshirt, sweatpants, and some crocs with socks. Just because a girl dresses very revealing doesn't make her a hoe, but that is a hoe's uniform and that will attract the wrong kind of attention.
-
No, I wouldn't even dress like that.

If it was like this then yeah. -
Depends on the age ! You can`t really do anything about it when they get older, but I´d say for the beach ok, otherwise never !
-
No. Just no. My daughter will dress modestly if she's still living under my roof, under my rules.
-
Over my dead body.. 😑 I don't want perverts or any sick people to harm my kids or even look at them in a bad way
-
No, only on the beach. It shows too much. I don't want to be a grandmother yet xD
-
Depends. Depends on the purpose and intention the teenager had with that outfit. If the intention was to show a certain style or something or something she thought was pretty aesthetically, then sure I would let her. If the intention was to show her body and put it on display for the pure sake of bringing attention, then I wouldn't let her, as I do not defend narcissism and self-centered behavior.

at the beach yes anywhere else? no. a little class is nice.
-
Depending on climate, weather, neighbourhood, age, her sensibility... Certainly not in some sharia law-ridden country or anything...
The question is - Would you let your teenage SON go without shirt in public on a hot day? -
I won't raise bitches neither want one, if she wants to wear these clothes she better don't get back home bc i won't accept her
-
Yes. Because that is swimwear, and not inappropriate.
I'd love more angles from that pic, because if we had them, we'd likely see she was either at, coming, or going to, a beach. -
No she's too young and I wouldn't let my daughter dress like a prostitute. But honestly I'd hope to raise her well enough that she wouldn't want to wear that in the first place.
-
This is most likely a vacation pic or she is near water. She doesn't casually dress that like this... or at that time. This is Russian singer Katya Ryabova. She is was about no more than 14 or 15 here. She is now 23 going on 24. She got married at 19 going on 20 and she now has a 3 year old son. He'll be 4 this year
-
As a teenager I dressed like that except I wore miniskirts rather than shorts. Why would I tell my daughter she couldn't dress the way I did at her age?

I'd be a little concerned because we really don't wear that stuff in England, it's a bit too cold, but I don't really have the right to control something as small as my child's clothing.
-
Women and girls are sexualized so much in the media and magazines... I'm all for teaching my kids to feel comfortable in their skin, but be modest. Let someone love your mind, not lust your body.
-
At a beach or at least beach community. I've seen girls/women jogging in sports bras and minishorts... it's fine if it was that and she was like at least 16.
-
She looks 11 or 12. I'd allow it at the beach. otherwise too sexualized.
-
At the beach would be ok but not out in the city or school
