My mom and I must have gone to five different dress stores. Why was this necessary? Everything either flashed my chest off or came out way too short. A modest dress was not going to be found.
This year modesty has been especially important to me. Problem is, I can't find much! Then everyday I see girls coming to school in see-through shirts, with only a bra cover underneath! Yes, even the fourteen-year-old girls. I keep thinking to myself "what's the problem here?".
Our society has put a high importance on beauty, and always has. Models went from being beautiful the way they were, to needing to be skinny and idolized. Young girls have started worrying about their "fashion" and weight at only 5, following the influences around them (don't get me started on how well Disney promotes this mentality). Now, girls are going out of their way to show off their "beauty", and it seems they just keeping taking more clothes off! Parents (for the most part) are OK with this either because they grew up recently, during the rapid moral drop, or they feel they don't have to care; "everyone is doing it, so it must be OK and why bother?".
It's gotten to the point where a majority of young people are dressing this way, so a majority of stores limit cute to clothes like this or tee-shirts. I can't even find a pair of shorts that cover my butt at most stores, so iv'e reverted to only buying shorts at Old Navy. Truth is, I don't want to have to wear tee-shirts all summer. I just want a tank top that doesn't make me feel undressed, same going for dresses. The evil of the world is making this awfully difficult. What happened to everyone being christian and fearing even bathing suits? Do most of our youth even know what modesty means anymore?
