Bible Question:
My daughter is 14 and is starting to dress inappropriately (ex.. bikinis, short shorts, low rise and tight jeans). Most of the family think that this is fine because it's what all the girls are wearing and, "she's just being a girl". I'm having a hard time explaining to her why it's wrong. It's especially hard because other family membrs think it's fine. How can I explain to her and if you know of scripture to back it up, please tell me. Thank you. |
Bible Answer: Hi. I can relate to your concerns. We have 2 teenage daughters, but thankfully, they don't dress like all the others do. Our pastor said something on Sunday that reminded me of your plight. He said, "Just because the rest of society is doing a certain thing, doesn't mean that it's right, and God has a better plan for your life." |
