My parents don't let me where shorts and I can't wear tanks to school.

I'm completely with @Alice and @Nadia on this except I'm just a sophomore though. I despise the term modesty is the best policy because not every likes to dress that way. Sure some guys have "one thing on their mind" but not every one does and you should be able to tell if a guy likes you for you or just for your body. Clothes are just clothes it doesn't matter if there's a lot of them or if there's a little bit of them on you.

I am skinny and I don't wear much crop tops because sometimes my ribs show. I'm not anorexic or anything just a really high metabolism, but I wear shorts a little higher than mid thigh.

I was shopping the other day and some of the denim shorts literally looked like underwear. I hate when girls wear these super low cut tanks with their bra showing...and then posts a picture on Facebook that was taken from an upward angle for an even better look down their shirt. It's trashy and I don't know why they want to get that kind of attention.
Overall, I don't pay that much attention to what people are wearing, but I think there is a way to dress cute without showing off your privates.

I don't necessarily think modesty is better. Whatever makes a girl (or boy!) feel good about themselves is all that should matter. :) I personally don't like to wear crop tops because they make me feel uncomfortable, but I've had friends who are bigger than me wear them and look flawless! Confidence is definitely key! :)

You can be sexy and beautiful just like you can be modest and beautiful. :)

One of my favorite quotes is "The less you reveal, the more people can wonder" (Emma Watson) I feel like dressing a little modest just makes me feel classy I guess. I also do it because I pretty much hate my body haha, a lot of the way I dress has to do with confidence. If I had a frame to show off I probably wouldnt dress as modest :P.

In the summer I will wear short shorts and a singlet but that's where I draw the line.

I think you guys will appreciate it when your older that your parents were strict that they cared about you. because they know how people think, esp men. and you guys are right about when you are older you will be more able to make good choices. it will benefit you I think and you will respect yourself a lot more. xx

I looooooove wearing shorts in the summer and I'm not skinny, at all so I can keep it to an appropriate length sometimes but I will never EVER wear a crop top with out and undershirt I feel like its still cute and summer but nice and conservative at the same time.

I am weird about my body, I guess. No dresses without tights, no crop tops, no leggings without an oversize top. I do a little cleavage though, and lots of heels.

Well even if I wear modest clothes, my parents really judge my clothes. If I wear a nice shirt that goes a little low, then I put a tank top under it I get set at a table to "talk" about my "bad clothing choices" and how me wearing skinny jeans might attract the "wrong guys". I'm sitting there thinking " I'm in the friggin 7th grade, I can take care of myself. And I can dress myself too". Well they aren't even satisfied when I wear boot cut jeans! I don't show cleavage, but my parents literally told me I look like a

( please excuse for bad language) "slut" one day! I couldn't believe that! I went out back into our woods and cried my eyes out! And then when I wear anything besides mascara they say I look like a "hooker". Is it just me, or are they being really harsh?

Let's just put it this way, don't give out free entertainment. I think it comes to your own judgement on how you think other people will view you. Some girls think that just because they are skinny they can wear whatever they want, I am by no means skinny which is why I don't have the confidence to pull of what skinny girls can. But, the main thing is, if you have to question yourself on whether your clothing is showing too much, it is probably showing too much.

I think it often depends on your body type and the way you wear it. If you have a bigger bust and ass then really low shirts an short shorts can look really slutty. Also if your dressing to flaunt your stuff and are acting slutty in the clothing then it's inappropriate, I wear short shorts and tank tops but I just wear them like I would wear any other clothing if that makes sense.

Showing some skin does attract attention, but it's not always the attention that you want. Most of the time it's negative. Some girls legit all hang out and when they do meet someone special, that person has already seen it all! Sometimes, modesty is just about self respect.

I hate when girls boobs are about to fall out of their shirt. It attracts the wrong types of attention.

I think my limit is showing my bra, or wearing see through shirts that don't apply very much coverage. :)
