This is the resulty of Britney Spears and that ilk.

Before anybody starts asking for pics...

That's what happened to a 13-year-old girl

[glorgau]

A teenage girl crying about something is news?

[fishtank]

Don't blame the 13 year old.

Blame the BimboMom.

[Blue Highway]

I wouldn't let my 13 year old daughter wear this.

Her mother should act like a mother:
13 is too young to show cleavage.

[Eva]

Is that the thirteen year old?

[Dacus943]

DITO!!!

I don't think nothing was wrong with the dress," eighth-grader Dannielle Fuqua said. But she was told otherwise because the dress was too revealing, according to the principal.

Sure is something wrong with the grammar, though..

"There's cleavage, but when you're as big as Dannielle, there's going to be cleavage," Meyer said. "There's nothing I can do about that."

oh, I don't know...maybe buy her a dress that isn't cut so low?

[savedbygrace]

If that's a pic of the girl, I'd say I would've sent her home, too. Or given her a sweater or something to wear over the top.

Where's the girl's father in all this? As a father, I wouldn't let my daughter leave the house looking like that.

[Blue Highway]

Yes thats the girl, and I am guessing thats the mother sitting behind her.

[SoftballMominVA]

Jeeez, is she showing enough?

Look, I sympathize with her, as it is frustrating to be over developed (my daughter has a similiar problem--and yes it is a PROBLEM). It is very hard to find clothing that fits well--but it can be found. We looked over 2 hours on Saturday to find a confirmation dress that didn't make her look like a 5 buck whore.

The school would have put the place on lockdown if they saw what John Kerry's daughter was wearing in Cannes over the weekend!!! :o

OK, warning, this is a "when I was 13" posting, 42 years ago when I was 13, and on through high school, if we showed up with our knees showing, our hems were ripped out. If we showed up with hair that measured more than one inch (this was the days of Hairspray), it was wet down and bobby pins were applied. We wore saddle shoes, sport shows were not allowed. We wore plan cotton socks, bobby socks and "popcorn" socks were not allowed. Cleavage??? no one knew what that meant but I imagine that if someone showed up with it showing, she would have to wear a habit.

Poor little baby. I do know, however, that when my daughter was that age, 10 years ago, it was really hard to find clothes that didn't make her look like a whore and I'm sure it's worse now.

I don't think nothing was wrong with the dress," eighth-grader Dannielle Fuqua said.

Hmmm. Sounds like she needs to spend less time shopping and more time studying.

Most Catholic schools have dress codes. If mom wants to raise her kid as a typical undisciplined, narcissistic brat who likes to wear the latest slutwear, she should send her kid to the guvmint skools.

[Thinkin' Gal]

Is that a double wide?

"I don't think nothing was wrong with the dress," eighth-grader Dannielle Fuqua said.

[Blue Highway]

This is just wrong. She's barely a teenager.

[antaresequity]

So why didn't she just put on a gym shirt or something, and get on with it?

Ridiculous for her to cry her way home and then take it to the media...
