My step-daughter is turning sixteen on Friday. Ever since I can remember we have been at odds about clothing. Like a typical teenager, she wants to display as much of herself as the law will allow. Tank tops that are damn near transparent; shorts that expose her bottom globes and wearing thongs with mini skirts.
Well recently her mother argued with me about the micro jean shorts that stores sell. Both pebbles and her mother expressed that everyone wears them, and my response is because the public buys them. If people don't buy them the stores wont sell them. There are warehouses filled with styles that the public disliked, and were recalled for a lack of sales.
I find it difficult at best to gain an understanding about purchasing things or doing things that everyone else does. Popularity doesn't mean you have to be apart of the masses.
While I am a protective father, I also worry about the display young ladies have today. Hoochie mama shorts, tank tops and hair dyeing. I see girls as young as 12 years old, with a tank top (no bra), booty shorts and platinum blonde hair. WTF??? What are you teaching a preteen if you buy that shit and then let her parade around in that. You are not pretty enough to attract attention, but if you wear this or that and dye your hair you will get all the attention you want. Is that the kind of attention you want for her?
My bottom line is that if you don't buy it, they industry won't sell it
