MINI SKIRTS

I dont think young children even teens should wear these type of clothes it will send the wrong message to the wrong people. They may not realize it , just want to wear it because they think its cute or the fashion. I would not let my child wear this b.c I would not want someone to get the wrong idea and be looking at my kid that way.

Parents are too busy being their childs best friend and never even looks at the outfits before they leave home. My child prefers the longer lenghths ~~ Thank God. I have a freind, who allows her child to wear the minis, but she has to have shorts on underneath. The hoochie wear is what they see on tv, ect.. I think it is making them too much of a tease at too young of an age and the kids have no idea of how to handle the attention. The clothing industry needs to make the lengths longer.

People like u are so conservative.... U dont like freedom... They wear what they like..... who are u to tell not to wear...those clothes.. If they are not feeling discomfort...over wearing those...what urges u....to pose a questioning them.. Let them express their freedom.....

Your not her father....and your not married to her mother...the situation would be different if you were married....Her mother should be the one to tell her what to wear...i think it's uncomfortable for a man to tell a 12yr old that her skirt is too short....

I don't know that I would necessarily tell the daughter myself, rather tell the parent and have her talk to the daughter. My husband has two children, one of which is a nine year old girl, and I don't tell her what to wear. I just talk to her father and express my concern to him, and let him do the talking. It's sort of his job and her mother's job to have that kind of conversation. I think it's totally okay for you to have an opinion on the situation because you care about your girlfriend's daughter. But just so that she is less defensive hearing it from a parent, I would leave the actual conversation up to her.

Firstly you do not have the right to tell this young lady what she can, or cannot, wear if you are not living together. That is up to her mother and father. All teens do rebel a little and possibly she acts the way she does because she knows what your reaction will be. When I was much younger and still living with my parents I used to wear mini skirts and my father set the rules. The length, or shortness of them if you prefer, was determined by whether or not I could reach up high without showing my undies. If they showed, the skirt was too short but if not then I could wear the outfit. Also I was taught that I should kneel/bend down to pick something up and not bend over.

I don't think this child should be wearing such things, but only her parent can tell her what to do, I would talk to her parents, I mean they should starte realizing the thing that can happen to her wearing such a thing.

I think parents don't pay attention to their children as much as they should and the young girls want attention and they follow what they see on t.v. . Im 22 and I don't even wear skirts like that I don't want to send the wrong messages besides being married and I also don't want rude comments being yelled out to me. It is so good that you don't allow her to wear those clothes , my daughter is 9 months when she is older she will not be allowed to wear clothes like that at all.

I don't think teens or anyone younger should wear revealing clothes. When they do and some weird guy hits on them, they wonder why. I'm 24 and I don't wear short skirts or anything that reveals to much. Stuff like that does say "come get me" or something worse.

In response to Sailor and anyone who suggests he is wrong or old-fashioned for his beliefs and behaviours, let me say that I applaud you for being a man of integrity and dignity, and preparing this girl for the world. People should not be worried that you are "limiting" this young girl's self-expression;I would be more concerned by the man who ISN'T disturbed by a 12 year old wearing a mini-skirt outside. What's more, she's 12 years old, and at 12 years old, a GIRL is nowhere near mature enough to understand what sexy or revealing clothing suggests, nor should they have to learn. We need to let children be children, and neither push them nor allow them to grow-up too fast. Childhood is short enough.

I've noticed kids doing this too and it is kinda disturbing. Where I live it seems to be more of a cultural thing to dress revealingly.

first like to say thanks for caring enough to not let her wear them outside. When my husband see's these young girls coming down the street he goes here comes the ho patrol or something like that. No one has the right to touch these girls no matter how they dress. But parents and the girls don't realise when they dress this way they are basically saying come and get it even if that is not what they mean. like my gosh some of the shorts they have in the stores are like underwear... A parent that lets their child go out looking like a ho should be whipped

all are attracted by western tradition

HEY GUY YOUR ARE NOT MARRIED HER MOTHER WHO YOU TELL LIKE THIS. I THINK 12 YEAR BABY IS NO PROBLEM WEARING SKIRTS

I don't know why some parents let their very young daughters go out with mini skirts and other inappropriate clothing. I guess it is because of the changing of the times. Parents today do not have the same values as parents of yesterday, and are much more lenient. I know I would not allow my daughter out dressed inappropriately.

They just haven't been taught any better. I have a 15 yr old and you wouldn't dare catch her dressed like that.

there is nothing wrong with mini skirts, peolpe got dirty minds. When cannot make people wear clothes that are not comfortable or should i say your preffered dressing style.

I wore mini skirts as a young teen, and that was 40 years ago. I can't say that it did me any harm. I gave up mini skirts long ago.

Around the turn of the 21st century, hipster trousers became highly fashionable for women. The micro has been reworked as an even less substantial "beltskirt", which is more an evocation of the idea of a skirt than something that covers anything substantial. It may perhaps also provide rhythm for the hipline. Due to its revealing nature, the "beltskirt" is rarely worn in public. Miniskirts are also seen worn over trousers or jeans, or with strap-on trouser "leggings" that provide coverage of each leg from above the knee. Although "floaty" skirts were most closely associated with the "boho" look of the mid noughties, short skirts also featured in some outfits and in London, for example, minis were more widespread during the hot summer of 2006 than for several years.

there is no way my kid would be wearing that anywhere .....that just wont happen in my house.
