I hear from a lot of concerned parents who feel their teenage girls dress too seductively.  They wonder how to deal with the issue of modesty when young ladies are pressured to show off their physical attributes.

Teens today live in a world of sexual innuendo… where outward packaging and presentation is all important.  And if your teen jumps on the bandwagon, it doesn’t necessarily mean that her character is flawed.  It just means she’s following a fad… trying on a role during the stage of adolescence.  Maybe she’s following a fad.

My advice to parents is this:  Don’t flip out when your daughter is just trying to fit in.  Rather, calmly and consistently address the more important issue of modesty.  Then, make sure she understands that your family values won’t be compromised.  No matter how cool the fad!
