It's a mom/parent thing. I don't think any good parent will ever understand, respect, or condone such desires from their (young) children.
That does NOT make it wrong though. If you only want it to boost your self esteem then by all means.
For things like this, you're just going to have to find your own way. Here's my golden rule: You feel okay with it: you do it, you don't REALLY feel okay with it: you don't. EVER. You're in charge.

I can understand wanting to wear things that make you "feel" sexy... but seriously you're 16, listen your mother. There will be plenty of time for this kind of thing when you're older. Childhood doesn't last that long dont wish it away and dont waste your time or your energy worrying about this kind of thing... focus on your school work and plan for your future.
Do it!
We all love someone with a good self esteem, although don't go over the top. Always do things for yourself, if you don't feel sexy, do what YOU want to feel more sexy.
Get the lingerie, age doesn't really matter as long as if it's for YOU!
But, most parents see their childern as perfect. So try to understand your mothers point of view, but also attend to your needs and wants for you and you only.
No it’s not ok. You’re a child, a teen, you have no business being ”sexy”. Calm down and stop trying to grow up too soon, you’ll be an adult soon enough.

It is about your self confidence. Your mom may never understand or she may if you can communicate your feelings properly. Chances are she had a different experience when she was younger, hence the questions.
Well its yout mom does not get it. She does not think that way.
Tell her your a growing young woman and you want to look and feel hot for you. Improving your confidence in yourself !Yeah, That’s the most common age that teens, especially girls develop a more mature view of themselves and want to explore and find themselves. As long as teens are prepared with proper precautions in case things happen then parents loosen the leash a bit.
Talk openly with your mother about this, I'd say. It's not cool from her to do so now, but definetely not wrong either. She's worried about you ans that's good. Show her, that she doesn't have to.
If it legitimately makes you feel happy to wear lingerie and you're not walking through the streets naked in it or something wack like that, then buy the lingerie. Maybe not with your mom's money though
I think it's pretty weird how concerned your Mum is about you showing anybody
I mean you're 16, not 12, I think it's okay if you feel like it's going to make you feel better
Try to explain to her that you want to feel more comfortable and confident in your own skin and how the stuff you're currently wearing is making you feel
Teenage years are tough good luckYou don't have one now but that doesn't mean you won't, soon. It just means you currently don't have one.
I don't think there's anything wrong with having it, however, thongs at your age, are where I draw the line. I still think that she should be 18, when she starts wearing thongsIt's a parents job to be protective. But no, there is nothing wrong with being sexy. Do you have any money of your own to spend?
Seems legit to me. I don't know how you'd show her this other than having a conversation with her and pointing out that it would most likely make her feel the same way
Listen to me...
You need to get that lingerie. Life is too short not to live it to it's fullest. Did you know that humanity is projected to collapse before 2050?
Yeah... so you don't have much time. You need to get your jimmies in order and start behaving like a real woman and have lots of sex. SrsTalk with your mom. She will have some answers but not all. After all she's not you. you're 16. you're still growing lol. If you want to feel better then change things up until you do.
No why can’t young girls just be young girls. Why do girl want to act like such whores nowadays. This is why girls shouldn’t be allowed to have social media it brainwashes them
Mother knows best. and if you want to live in her house, you should be abiding by her rules.
Sure nobody can tell you what you can and can't wear
My girlfriend got a lot of black bras and panties to feel sexy. I was the first guy who saw this, we've been dating for almost 17 months. Tell her it'll make you feel sexier and more self confident
I don't know if I have any say, but you should be able to express yourself any way you want. Do you feel self conscious?
I totally understand where your coming from. Wearing sexy clothing isn't bad at all l. It can actually boost your self esteem. The stuff girls do aren't always for the guys.
Now you're not just lying to your mom, you're lying to yourself. You know damn well guys are gunna see those panties on you if you buy em.
don't do this, its not okay at all.
Yes you can.
