[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 91385, member: 84"] I think it's impressive that at this point kt isn't inclined to go along with the crowd head first. Which is something most 13 yr old girls tend to do before they start to figure things out for themselves. Sounds like what you've been teaching kt has been sinking in to some level. Which is a good sign, most especially given her background. From my own experience with abuse, the whole not liking the way her body's changing and how boys are treating her....well I shared that one. It made me so uncomfortable that I shied away from boys in any dating sense til I was about 16ish, and even then I tended to pick boys I felt were "safe". (yeah, I did the opposite of what most psychiatrists say to expect) While kt might think the skimpy fashions she sees are all the rage, and they might be at school, she may find that she is uncomfortable wearing them no matter how fashionable they are. I know in high school I couldn't wear much of what teen nowdays wear cuz I'd have been too afraid of the attention it would've drawn from boys. None of this had anything to do with the fact that I was still attracted to them. lol I had a rough time socially thru school from kt's age upward. In so many areas I knew waaaaay too much more than my peers. Yet in others I lagged way behind. (on purpose, I didn't really want to grow up) Lucky for me I had my gramma to give me the solid foundation your giving to kt. Awesome advice. Somewhat similar to what gramma told me. :smile: As far as the clothes...Stick to your guns. You can have fashion that's not trampy. Both my girls managed it. They didn't have a choice. lol Anything that didn't meet with Mom's critical eye suddenly disappeared mysteriously. :rofl: I think you're doing a wonderful job with kt. Hugs [/QUOTE]
