Would you allow your teenage daughter to dress like this out in public? Why or why not?

Question

JRICHARDS1996 · Accepted Answer

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.

Prettygurl12 · Accepted Answer

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.

Rocket_Queen · Accepted Answer

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.

alaysatlorp · Accepted Answer

Yes why not she looks good if she likes it. I'd dress like that if I looked that good.

Luci92 · Answer

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.

Anonymous · Answer

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.

ChampagneeMami · Answer

No, I wouldn't even dress like that. If it was like this then yeah.

Bee2000 · Answer

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 !

Reallio · Answer

No. Just no. My daughter will dress modestly if she's still living under my roof, under my rules.

cinderelli · Answer

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

Gnana · Answer

No, only on the beach. It shows too much. I don't want to be a grandmother yet xD

Soulife · Answer

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.

Zendrya · Answer

at the beach yes anywhere else? no. a little class is nice.

Kacik · Answer

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?

Ellarabbaa1 · Answer

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

ksoma · Answer

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.

Maik567 · Answer

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.

Alexandra80 · Answer

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

SvetlanaSavachenko · Answer

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?

fauchelevent · Answer

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.

Foxxtrot · Answer

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.

SovereignessofVamps · Answer

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.

Intraluminal · Answer

She looks 11 or 12. I'd allow it at the beach. otherwise too sexualized.

Sarahprincess · Answer

At the beach would be ok but not out in the city or school

anonman32 · Answer

Can i even tell her what to wear as a father? Seems like nobody cares nowadays, its always her body her rules and all of that.  I would not let her wear that, only at the beach i will allow it.

Dingsbums · Answer

If she is going to the beach or something sure. by the way she is holding something in her hand which looks like a blouse so she probably undressed after she left the house. U can't control that as a parent

I_Can_Help · Answer

Yes. I want to have a sexy daughter who I can lust after just like our president Donald Trump wants to eff his hot daughter Ivanka. Who doesn't want to be like the Prez of the USA?

Anonymous · Answer

Looks like I better work harder cos my daughter can't afford no clothes.

In all seriousness , only at the beach but knowing teens , like she wouldn't take off whatever I made her wear as soon as she's out of sight lol

Blonde401 · Answer

If she's at the beach or pool, yeah. If she was over 18 she could wear whatever she wanted but I would tell her to put some sun cream on at least.

CheerGirl38139 · Answer

Where she is going and what the event or occasion is would determine for me if that was or wasn't appropriate attire.

Hopefuldreamer8 · Answer

Depends on where she is. If it's at a pool or beach is fine. I wouldn't like it if it's just to go out somewhere.

Xseed · Answer

depends on the girl's age and what kind of person she is. if she's over 16 and has proven I can trust her then yes.

abc3643 · Answer

The girl in the picture is Ekaterina Rybova and she's 19.

TheEnd2 · Answer

No. Dressing like a slut will not attract good quality guy's. It is crazy that girls think they will attract a good guy with this behavior. It's crazy to sexually objectify yourself and expect to attract a guy that will not do the same.

CHARismatic110 · Answer

To goto the beach, pool, or water park? Yes. Other than that, no.

JRH1991 · Answer

Lol, No. Heavens no. Put on a less revealing shirt and I'd be ok with it.

Kaylyne · Answer

Wow. I find it hard to believe that, that is actually Ekaterina Dmitrievna "Katya" Ryabova a 19yr old Russian singer!

babeeeone · Answer

I have mixed feelings on this because I know this is something I'd like to do (at that age) but I know the kind of attention it would bring to her and that's make me not want to allow it

lazermazer · Answer

Yes, but only if she wants too and only after i give her professional UFC fighting training. I m not joking, i would give fighting lessons before sex education. Moreover, i would let my daughter learn , i will always be there for her.

ScaryCool · Answer

No because she needs to learn to be modest with her body. I don't want to grow up superficial.

Superchick123 · Answer

If you're at the beach or something, sure. If not, no

ElissaDido · Answer

My parents didn't let me and I won't let my daughter dress like that.

Mesonfielde · Answer

I'm not sure. I mean, it doesn't cover *less* than a bikini

Errhh · Answer

Sure if we are at a beach or pool.. There is no reason to be that naked in other public places.

Xfitchick · Answer

Depends on the location. Ok at seaside, pool or festival, not in a city

xkellier94x · Answer

Only at the beach. Going around the street, no way.

Snarkymalarkey · Answer

At holiday world on a hot day? Sure that's fine. At school or walking around the mall? No I'd tell to put a shirt over it.

Blanchmess · Answer

It depends  If she was in the beach i would allow. Otherwise no.

Aqualung · Answer

I think no matter what that little cutie wears she's jail bait. Not her fault - she's blessed with a womanly body at such a young age. I'd be flipping out if I was her Dad

Oxi112094 · Answer

Yes, if it was to the beach or something. But as a regular outfit, no.

TheButterfly · Answer

If she was going swimming. It's a bit too revealing otherwise

rgb008 · Answer

That's a bikini top If she were swimming that day, it's not innapropriate.

neoagent1 · Answer

If it wss to the beach only I think I'd be OK with it. Walking down a public street or going around town, probably not.

BusinessMegan · Answer

Yep for many reasons. I want her to have freedom. Also it's a wonderful outfit for the summer. Also for the beach and a pool party.

Anonymous · Answer

Depends on her age (she does look to young). I wouldn't love the fact that she's wearing it. But you have to pick your battles. I'd probably team with her mother on this.

Hollywood-Glam · Answer

There is no way I would let my daughter dress like that. Shorts and bikini tops are a no no for me.

Miezko · Answer

If she was at the beach, pool, or water park, yea. Just to hang out though, no.

Shawn58 · Answer

Not if she looked like that lol that's just asking for trouble.

4465loveyou5577 · Answer

I would let her wear a bikini so I don't see why I'd have a problem with that.

Deadpool7699 · Answer

I'd feel very uncomfortable about it but i wouldn't forbid it. I'd fucking hate it but it's really her choice in the end

SuitAndTie · Answer

No, she will receive negative attention and won't attract the right kind of guy (s). I wouldn't even want her to dress like that to a club.

RedneckCowgirl · Answer

Only in the summer. If she tries to wear it in the winter. She will freeze to death. Ohio winters are awful.

iFarted · Answer

To go to the beach? Sure, if thats what she really wanted I can't really stop her. Id give her my 2 cents though.

GDHDJAGGSDHJFBD1977 · Answer

Yes, i would allow my teenage daughter to dress like that in public, because she looks good in this outfit, and she wears it for the whole summer
