Few days ago my younger sister came home dressed in a miniskirt and a blouse.?

Question

i was really annoyed at her,that dress would have made even a stripper ashamed.When I asked her,she told that everyone of her friends was wearing one like that and she had to do the same so that she was not left out.do u think women r under pressure to wear scanty clothing.Recently the cloths have got even outrageous,Can u tell how to advice her politly to wear something modest ?Why are'nt girls ashamed to wear such scanty clothing ?
Don't u think it time parents took notice of it?

Answer 1

lol.... this is really kinda funny!!!!! (if it wasn't so sad).

If parents were home in the mornings before the kids leave for school and home in the afternoons when they get home.. they would see what their little princess is wearing to and from school and be able to better guide her decisions in attire. But they aren't so she wears whatever... its really kinda sad.... grade school girls wearing thongs to school... high school girls wearing tops where their breasts are jutting out of to the point of exploding.... its really sad.

Now. once you are out of your parents home and out of the "school system" hey.. dress however you want.. hopefully by then you would have learned that people do judge you by what you wear and how you present yourself.... but until then.. that "lesson" should be taught by your parents.

Try not to worry about it! You are her older brother after all [well I assume so with a name like Roger, so if you're a girl I'm sorry but I will refer to you as a male from this point forwards lolz], so it is natural for you to be protected. You will feel paranoid about her getting involved in sexual situations, the perverts that might be eyeing her up etc, and the reasons she started to wear clothes like that in the first place [trying to catch the eye of a certain guy perhaps?].

I dunno how old you sister is, but the fact is she is growing up! You are her older brother so of course you are going to look out for her, but if a girl your age wore a mini skirt like that would you be complaining?! I think not! Haha.. Talk to her, try and find out if there are any reasons why she is dressing that way, she might be doing it for attention, or simply because she likes the way she looks in those outfits.. If the outfits become more revealing then you should perhaps intervene, make sure she isn't hanging around with the wrong sort, or getting involved with perverted guys who only want her for her body..

And yes, I think there is a kind of pressure for us girls to wear clothing like that, or at least look good. If you don't look "right" then you are bound to face some kind of ridicule. But at the same time if you wear clothing like that you are going to be called a whore or jeered at. It's pathetic really. People should just wear the clothes they like! =D

Answer 3

well you never said how old your sister is... Depending on the age depends on how you should handle it.. Over the age of 18 i would say stay out of it.. Under the age try this.. do you have a "girlfriend" or a close girl friend that knows your sister? If yes to either have her go shopping with her and teach her the fine line between sexy and slutty... there is a fine line between them both! She will be able to stay in style with her friends but learn how to do it with class. I went shopping with an older but cool relative and she taught me about the line and it gave me more respect for my self which in turn got me more respect form others.
About the parents line... it is a tough call bc of the role of parents now a days.. I wouldn't have been let out of the house in anything that my father though was in appropriate there was always a middle ground met. The schools should def the ones held responsible for it now. They need to set harder ground rules for the dress code and what is appropriate in the classroom setting.

You're her brother, not her parent. So you don't really have the right to tell her what she can and can't wear. If it really bothers you, you should tell your parents about it and encourage them to restrict her.

I'm assuming your sister is a teen. She's learning the power of her sexuality - how to express herself and control those expressions appropriately. It's a natural phase of exploration - she's testing her boundaries, and needs to experience for herself where those limits are. She needs to discover for herself the difference between attention and respect, between slutty and sexy.
Trying to enforce your rules and your tastes on her won't work, and isn't fair. Instead, you need to be supportive, and encourage her in more positive directions. Instead of condemning when she dresses slutty, try praising her when she dresses modestly. She'll respond to that much better.

Answer 5

ya it's hard though being in the society we are in today cuz girls are being pressured to dress a certain way...do certain things...and all b/c of the media!just look at tv! alot of girls don't understand that the way they dress/act can really affect the people around them. since ur a guy, u should try to talk to her about the affect that short skirts have on guys cuz she might not know. try to explain to her that she doesnt' need to dress in certain ways to get attention cuz it'll attract the WRONG kind of attention. its hard to b modest wen all u see is immodesty.i know many parents are aware of it (my parents being some)it's just hard to control it when there are other parents who don't even care...so ya i hear u and being a girl in a "dress-so-u-can-get -attention" society i kno wat ur sister's deal is and how hard it is to dress modestly but there are cute things that are modest and attractive so mayb u could also take her shopping or something just to show her that u do care about her image and how she dresses...well i hope this helped!...

Answer 6

Why aren't you talking to your parents?

You didn't say how old your sister is, if she could be considered an adult then it's none of your business..
