Hey YG. I need your experience =)


Question Posted Thursday January 3 2008, 11:40 pm

Well, experience living life. And I'd appreciate it.

I'm sixteen years old, and a female. I love my parents to death & we have a really good, open relationship. There's one thing we can absolutely never agree on- clothing.

I lost a lot of weight two years ago, and had to get all new clothes (I grew six inches, too, so tehre was so way of salvaging anything via alterations; it was al too short & four sizes too big) Problem is they made me keep it for awhile.

My dad especially says that I don't need new clothes, but doesn't understand that when I buy NEW clothes, I'm replacing old & worn out clothes (I'm talking so worn out/old I can't even donate it to goodwill)

For example, I bought four new pairs of jeans to replace ripped, three-inches-too-short jeans from middle school. He got upset when I got rid of the old pairs.

How can I explain to my parents that I can't wear every shirt & pants I ever buy for ever and ever?

Oh my, of course you can't wear rags.
If they are worried you might spend a
lot of money there are good second hand
stores you can shop in. They may not
have all the latest fashions, but it
beats rags. So maybe they would consider
a couple of new outfits and a few more
from used clothes stores.

You know, if you have lost a lot of
weight, dear old dad may be having a
rough time adjusting to the new you!
Boys may be even more attracted to you
now. Sometimes they have a little trouble
believing their young daughters are
turning into young women.

Go gather up those old clothes. Throw
them in a pile at his feet and point
out what is wrong with them all. Better
yet, give him a fashion show!

Good luck! :)
