I feel disgusted by the way my teenage daughter dresses up. She wears very tight and revealing clothing. I have tried before to talk to her about modesty but she continues to dress that way.

Hello, how is your feeling now?

Question
I feel very bad right now. I don't know how I should make my daughter understand that her dressing is not appropriate

It sounds like your daughter does not understand your feelings.
assistant
Restatement or Paraphrasing
I think she does but is only being rebellious due to peer pressure. She is a good sensible girl.

I had similar situations. I had to tell my son to dress appropriately too.

Should I take her for counselling so that she can understand that she doesn't have to dress like her friends in order to be with them?
user

Before you do that, d id you communicate with her directly and express your concerns?
assistant
Question
I have tried that before and have even asked her grandmother to have a chat with her.

I totally understand how you feel. Take a deep breath and it can help you feel better.

Its been quite a challenge to play both mom and dad in her life. Sometimes I feel inadequate to deal with female issues.

From our short conversation, I can feel the weights on your shoulder.

So do you suggest I seek professional help for her?
user

Yes, please do. I also suggest youself watch some motivation videos online such as Jon Jandia's "life is easy". Life is easy. We made it too complicated.

I will take your suggestion. And do you think its a good idea to take her shopping and show her some of the outfits that I approve off?
user
null
Yes, it is a good idea. Also tell her those clothes do not make her a different person. She can look at the mirror and she will see she is still the same no matter what clothes she wears.
