I see them also and but I also see mothers that refuse to buy those cloths.
I'm not saying we parents don't have battles with the our kids over cloths .. but there comes a time when parents should act like adults and say No.
If these kids don't have any self respect for themselves .. they will never learn to show respect for others
And having a daughter or a son that dresses like a tramp and curses like a truck driver (nothing against truck drivers, but you know what I mean) .. then they will go through life with no respect You are right but I think in the minority. The idea of self-respect is lost on these people. They confuse "self-esteem" and self-respect and end up having neither.
