Well I suppose if your parents are okay with her dressing in such a way, then I guess that's where it ends. Does she know how you feel about this? Perhaps if you make it clear to her exactly HOW MUCH you fear for her safety and well being, she will hopefully try to dress alittle more conservatively to ease your mind. But if not, I guess you're just going to have to accept it. By then, you would have TRIED to change things; you would have TRIED to help her, she would just have none of it. Also, I think she'll be upset with you no matter HOW you tell her, so just be honest, while still showing respect and support. Just make shore you don't beat yourself up over this; be proud of your attempts.

PrettyLady16 answered Saturday August 20 2005, 12:31 am: Maybe you could buy her some clothes that cover her up a little more. Be like i got you a gift, and i really hope you like it and if she appreciates it then she will most likely wear it. That way you can have the advantage to make her wear it you can be like why dont you wear the shirt I bought you? Ok well i hope she gets to dressing better.

Smartblonde? answered Saturday August 20 2005, 12:31 am: Just calmly tell her that you love her so much. NAd you want to care for her. And tell her that if she dresses that way that boys think they can get what ever you want and they will do any thing to get it so you would like to help her bye telling her not to dress like that.

TheTeenGirl answered Friday August 19 2005, 11:44 pm: Do your parents know about the way she dresses? If not, tell them. But you need to sit down with her and say, "I don't want to hurt your feelings, but you really need to start wearing nicer clothes instead of this. I have some jeans/shirts you could borrow, or we could go shopping and I can help you pick out really nice clothes." Offer her things she could wear, I know you may not want to go shopping with her or let her borrow your clothes, but you need to try everything you can do to stop her from wearing clothes that are nasty. It can really make her behave in the way she looks sooner later. And if she ends up still dressing the way she does, then try not to worry of you being embarrassed about it. Pretty much what matters is that you aren't embarrassing yourself by dressing the same way. You can't control her, but you can control yourself in these situations.
