Thanks! I appreciate everyone's comments. I just think it's ashame how some girls choose to dress immodestly and ruin certain privileges for all girls.I guess that's just how the world is..

Cross Errosion of Values

From SuzieQ9109:

I guess that's just how the world is...
The agenda of Satan is to slowly whittle away at those values that Christians hold dear.

As time goes on, more and more persons fall away from God and follow the doctrines of Satan. When this happens to those around us, we can see the differences in them and this is very disappointing. We try our best to bring them back to God, but it seems that once they have drifted away there is very little that we can do to bring them back. Do not judge them or be angry with them... but pray for them. They will have to reconcile their decisions when they meet Our Father and they will be judged accordingly by Him.

Always do your very best to set a proper Christian example for others, and let them see how your faith and love for God sustains you. Perhaps, then, they will not stray...

In my opinion its not a bad thing for girls to wear shorts. In fact, it could be a good thing because it is your choice whether or not you committ sin with lust. If you dont see it like that when you see a girl in shorts than you just prove to yourself and somewhat to God that he is the most important thing in your life and you put him before things like that.

As a dad here is my take: Shorts ok- short shorts not ok- and you are responsible for your actions and God holds us to account if and when we cause others to stumble.
If we have the mind of Christ we are careful in what we do as we are conscience of how our actions may cause a weak person to fall. If I as a christian decide to say go to a casino for the buffet and I cause someone with a weakness for gambling to go in because " Larry did it and he's a christian" - if that person gets into trouble I have contributed in making my brother stumble- this principle also applies to what you are talking about. Dressing imodestly can not only cause problems for others but can bring undesired attention to yourself- something to be considered in this day and age.
I hope you make your decisions wisely and based on love- your older brother Larry

I also know that shorts can be too short on girls. But they do make shorts that go almost to our knees that are also in fashion for the summer. Why couldn't they be allowed to wear those? How do you feel?
Okay Suzie, I may get a lot of heat on this one. Boys and girls

bodies are not equal. Wife has the fingertip add 3 inches rule. Put

your hands to your sides. Add 3 inches. My daughter's clothing

comes down that far. Short arms? Add 5. Boys no speedos.

Our school district recently added to the dress code for the Middle School. It's as follows:

When purchasing school clothes, please keep in mind the dress code: NO midriff shirts,
tops with spaghetti straps, hip-hugger pants below the hipbone, or shorts with less than a 4-inch inseam.


They also told the girls to drop their hands to their sides and if they can touch skin, their shorts or skirts are too short. (Similar to the add three inches rule).

I cringe when I see what some of the kids are wearing these days. Thankfully, my daughter's tastes tend to run towards the more modest and she keeps herself fairly well covered. She does wear shorts, but nothing SHORT short.

I have overheard the men talking and say they don't like tight shorts on women. (I'm sure that is just some of the men...) Alot of women wear them too.
Just an FYI

My kiddo is self concious about what she calls her "badonkey" (her behind) so she doesn't wear her shorts tight at ALL. Me neither. No one needs to see what I've got. Mind tend to be long and somewhat baggy!
