H and I went to a theme park this week to ride roller coasters. We saw MULTIPLE teenage girls (probably 13-17?) wearing jeans shorts that were so short their a** cheeks were hanging out the bottom. Actual curvature and underside of cheek hanging out the bottom of shorts. In public. On teenagers. One of them was actually WITH her mother and younger sister, so clearly the mother knew that her kid left the house dressed like that.
I would have to speak to at least 2 girls per day about their butt cheeks hanging out of their shorts. These girls are 12-14 years old.
Teeny tiny yoga/running shorts are all the rage too. I tell them it looks too much like underwear and they need to change into something more appropriate for school.
Unfortunately it is a thing. I see it here all the time. I'm just glad we caught the guy that was sneaking photos of young girls in the store I work at months ago or he would be having a hay day now that it's summer.
My future daughter is going to be made fun of for being uncool because she will not be leaving my house in skimpy clothing. I don't care how pearl clutchy or prudish that makes me.
I have a serious issue on how teens and young teens dress; more so young teens. I guess even pre-teens now. Husband and I saw a girl who had to have been around 11 or 12 in some skimpy ass tank tops and short shorts. We both kind of looked at each other with a "why did someone let her out of the house like that?!" expression.
I just posted about this very thing on my FB feed. I work at a college and this girl was complaining about how cold the classroom was. Of course it was cold! you're wearing a wife beater, flip flops and crotch-length shorts!
Andplusalso, the girls who wear crotch-length skirts? HTF do they sit down without flashing everyone?

This has always been a thing. I wore them in my early teens. My aunts also wore them in the early 70's. It doesn't bother me on teenage girls. I do look at grown women funny when I see them sporting the look.
I'm in my thirties and also lived somewhere that never got cold at all.

I admit I used to let my ass cheeks hang out too remember the store Contempo Casuals? and the show In Living Color? lots of girls at my store shopped there to dress like the Fly Girls

They cross their legs before they sit down.
And therefor flash their entire thigh - stopping just at the cheek - to God and everyone!
See, I probably wouldn't care if it was just butt grazing, but in my sil's case, it's about a good 1/3 off her ass, if not more, totally hanging out. And the women in my H's family have rather large booties, so there is a whole lot of giggleage going on. I admit, it squiks me out.

I am clutching my pearls at this. If I have a girl, and she wants to follow this trend or any future trend that shows too much skin, she will have to sneak and change while out of the house.
most of you are fuddy duddies. as gypsy said, this has been a 'thing', like, forever. if you have a good ass, then butt grazing shorts are a must. i'm happy to know that some girls have the foresight to do it right away instead of waiting until they are proper adults (b/c by then, they may ot have the body for it).
Yah, but at 14?
I can agree that an older teenager, like 16/17/18, whatever. But 12-15, no.
Also, if I had the body/ass for it, I'd wear skimpy clothing....I might not leave my house but I'd wear them!
