Whenever my parents go out to "buy" me clothes, that's when the problem starts. They always buy me things like plaid skinny leg pants or big, oversized T-shirts, and that just isn't my style- I prefer jeans and a nice, form-fitting tee. Is there a way to tell then that I don't wear things that I used to wear as a little girl without hurting their feelings?

All you need to say is how much you appreciate them spending there time buying you colthes all the time but maybe it would be fun if you went with them. Suggest going with the to shop. Not only will you get to pick out the clothes yourslef, but you can spend "quality time" with them. You could also just tell them how you feel, the only reason why they are probably still buying you this stuff is because you haven't spoken up about it and they think you like it.

Say you dotn always like all the clothes they buy so it will be a waste of money, and if at least you buy them it wont bbecause you will wear them. Hope fully they will undesrtand your no t a little kid any more and you want your own style in clothing. You and your mom maybe could go on a shopping spree and get some new clothes for your warddrobe and if your mom wnats to buy you something next time she will know what type of things you like. Or when you go shopping point out the clothes you like then they can come and get them another time. Hope they understand. Good Luck!!! [ Poppsie's advice column | Ask Poppsie A Question ]
