Agreed. And known. I strive to make sure she knows her value is NOT in a boyfriend, it's in her. Mom and dad love her, and show it. Sports is a big thing for her, so we do that. Shooting is a big thing for her (to my surprise and delight), so we do that. Church is big. Boys? Their second fiddle, if even that high.

She has a few friends that are boy crazy....and it's one drama after another. We talk about it. I'm doing the best I can, and I just hope it's enough.

You guys sound like awesome parents with an awesome daughter.

How much is she involved trying to figure out different media messages if she's busy being the person she is?

I suppose it's the same with boys. Give them a life that fulfills their character and they wont see the need to dominate some girl to feel better about themselves.

Anyway, you've made me feel better. I feel like you've turned on a light to something that was always there and maybe I was just over-come with depression with some of the stories in the news these days.

i don't get the point of the article

The point is that schools overstep their bounds and need to be put in their place. This is not nazi Germany and it's not the 1940's

Oh please, Nazi Germany? Really?


From a study at Sam Houston University..
http://www.shsu.edu/~pin_www/T@S/2001/DressCode.html

"It is possible, based on our findings, that the benefits of a standardized dress code implemented and maintained over time may very well have a positive effect on student achievement," she said.

Creel said their study showed a number of positive benefits, including "improved campus morale and reduced discipline violations, increased school pride, improved collaboration and teamwork among students...

Also, "enhanced image of students and the school in the community, minimization of the effects of economic variations among students, and reduction in the overall cost of student wardrobes."

How do you convince a teen girl that any guy that only wants to go out with her because she shows half her ass or boobs and appears to be an easy sexual conquest isn't a guy she should want to go out with anyway?

Have a good parental relationship. (mom and dad)
Establish a good family relationship with your daughter or son.
Make sure your daughter knows her worth lies in much more than her looks.
Don't let your daughter go out looking like trash.
From a young, young age, build your daughter's self esteem not based on looks, but on qualities (not t and a qualities)
And, have the young man enter your home when taking your daughter out on a date. Make sure he sees the family.

Does that ensure anything? No. But it gets you half way.

WHY NOT MAKE ALL FEMALES WEAR BERKAS? I find this very disturbing. I can see making sure girls don't wear revealing clothes, but until they make the boys pull their damn pants up... leave the girls alone.
