I do care about what i wear, all the time. I do put limits on myself because i don't want to turn out looking horrible i know what i don't want to wear and i will have the random days where i have to go to tech and think oh the hell with it and put on anything comfy but I'm not old enough to wear the gorgeous things people where when they are twenty something, and i don't wanna be that type of girl who dress's older than she should, i dress the way i want now. My boyfriend likes the way i am and so do my friends. I just think other girls shouldn't dress like they are 25 and really they are 15.

I believe it is extremely important to dress modestly for boys and girls, as well as acting modestly so as to not draw sexual attention to em. I believe that it's okay to wear shorts and miniskirts as long as they're not tight or transparent or ripped and other forms of clothing as long as they're not low-rise.

My granddaughter has a picture of her in a small bottomed bikini...I told her that I felt the way she was dressed was not modest. She ask me how was she dressed immodest...She says she is a Christian. I love her with all my heart and think she is being persuaded by immature people. What should I do? Stay out of it, or what? Oh, her parents are divorced and she lives with her mother. I do not know if her mother approves of low blouses, scant bikinis. Help me, and pray for my granddaughter. I love her and hate to see her persuaded from what God says in the Bible how a woman should dress.

ellen, welcome to the Family Lobby community. Can I ask why you didn't talk to her mother about it? I'm assuming she bought your granddaughter the bikini or has seen her in it so doesn't object to it. You didn't say how old your granddaughter is or if her mother is your daughter or ex-daughter in law. If your granddaughter is a teen, she's going to wear a bikini if she's by a pool or at a beach like any other teenage girl would. You can't expect her to go in an ankle length skirt. She'd be ridiculed and I'm sure you love your granddaughter too much to wish that humiliation upon her.
Times change and the Bible teachings have been reinterpreted many times over the centuries. Some parts are given more weight than others. How many women in your church have short hair for example when the Bible teaches a woman's hair should be long? That's the same kind of thing. Did your pastor turn them away because of that? Of course not. They were welcomed into the house of God.
Very few Christians follow the Bible dress code for women nowadays. Is it not what's in their heart that matters anyway, rather than what's on their back? I think so.
Would you rather your granddaughter decided to stop being a Christian than have such a limiting dress code forced upon her? Because that's the chance you take if you pressure her. She may turn away from the church altogether.
I don't recall Adam and Eve wearing anything more than a fig leaf either. :) Honestly, I think it's best to let sleeping dogs lie and count yourself blessed that you have such a good relationship with your granddaughter.

We shoud seriously takeup dress code in general, particularly for teen age girls, the dress should be modest, covering the whole body.Just look at the increasing statistics of reported number of rapes, the dress is getting shorter and number of rapes are getting higher.

Would you actually read what your writeing please? wearing clothing is suppose to express who you are and the fact is its NOT the 1950's anymore. the average rate for a girl to " lose her virginity" is 18 STILL and it has been that way for a while. If you dont let your teen dress how they would like to (mostly) and become there own person then they arn't going to treat you nicely. It is that persons choice when they lose there virginity, not yours. You may be there parent but your not them. If you act this way they will Rebl against you at some point.

Well hello enraged teen. I understand your point, so perhaps you might explain as a teen why the tight clothes? Why the mid drift showing and the low cuts blouses. The fact of the matter is you can express yourself without that, and that only shows your body, not your self.
I'm not sure where you got your stats but perhaps you might look up abduction, rape, stalking and other stats...quite sure you will see on the rise.

I'm sorry but the fact is, teenagers are not any different from those in the fifties. They swore back then and statistics show that 'relations' between boys and girls happened at the same age too. However, I think children shouldn't be encouraged to dress like clubbers. The fact that from first grade or before girls idolise scantily dressed pop singers and soon learn the double meaning of the lyrics from friends with older siblings if not their own older siblings is highly disturbing but true. Wake up grownups., thank you

This article, though trying to be helpful, is nothing new. Dress modestly. That's all you hear, but no one wants to show what modesty is unless they're advocating for the long jean skirt long plain shirt look (that's fine, but there's plenty more you can wear modestly that people don't talk about). AND CAN SOMEONE PLEASE TELL ME WHY IT IS ALWAYS THE WOMEN WHO GET THE MODESTY TALK? If rape is what you're so concerned about (and by the way, most rapes take place between people who are acquainted with each other, not total strangers who take one look at your outfit and jump you), then why not teach guys to keep it in their pants? Men are dressing just as provacative if not more so than women now a days and it's distracting. BOTH parties need examples as to what is moral dress.

I am a Christian teen and have mixed views on this topic. I understand we have to dress in a way that doesn't bring glory to ourselves and draw unmannerly attention from males but I really don't understand how the women are constantly told to not wear that revealing bikini, wear longer skirts, cover up your cleavage but the guys are fine to wear no top etc. That really get to me sometimes. And also, isnt it about whats in our heart, rather than what we are wearing. God is the only one that knows our heart, and it seems sometimes articles like this are giving out a different message- that we do care what other people think of us, and we are trying to please them instead of trying to please God. Overall, I do agree that we shouldnt dress to purposefully attract attention to our bodies in the wrong way but I also thik guys need to be addressed more often and if we aren't doing it on purpose and have faith in Christ, living for him, we shouldn;t be so harshly judged by our own family.

Sorry, but I am NOT going to teach my daughter that the world wants to make her into trash. In fact i am going to teach her that no matter what she wears she is not trah, or even trashy. that said, more can be ..well more. I would certainly teach her that as wonderful as she is she can wear comfortable, and decent clothing and still attract all the attention she needs just because she is that great.

I have seen both ends of the spectrum, girls at my school that have been very very modest and girls that wear more make up then clothing. I feel like society now is a big part of this. It really effects girls when people or magazines say you must be thin to be beautiful or people in skimpy clothes is advertised. I also feel like people should not be judged AT ALL. No matter the amount of clothing they are wearing, it should just be encouraged to be more modest, teenagers mostly care about pleasing others opposed to God. What is advertised and what is the majority is what most are most likely to sway towards.
