Teen Kicked Out of Prom for Skimpy Dress

I've been hearing people talk about this dress and had them asking me if I've seen it. So, I come on the net looking for the story and a glimpse of this "OMG I can't believe she would even think of wearing that" dress. Mind you, I do think the dress is a tragedy in the way it is styled and pieced together, like a curtain from the 70's chopped up and gone wrong, but what is she showing that we don't see everyday on tv? I see more than that on a soap opera, music video, or commercial for that matter. I see more than that hanging out on ten year olds walking around in the mall. If the school had a swim party at the pool or at the beach would she not be allowed to wear a bikini or a bathing suit? All I see are her tummy and her legs, so if she had covered up her tummy would they have let her in? Look at all the girls who go and have their tummy covered but the material is sheer! Look at all the girls who go and have their gowns backless! What about the ones who have long skirts but slits up to their waisteline! If they're going to make such a big deal about things like this then they should just have prom dresses issued. This whole double standard of a female not being allowed to wear what she wants because if she reveals too much that gives people the right to judge her and look down on her is outrageous (mind you I realize she is a teenager but that kind of mentallity sets in at an early age)! I don't see anyone talking down about guys who walk around with their shirts off all day grabbing their genitals hooting and hollering at every female that crosses their path. It's so sad when you have to be in fear of expressing yourself because of the backlash you might receive from society. Hopefully she does not let the general public's viewpoints and opinions get her down. Who knows, one day she might look into studying fashion and design clothes for some "shall remain nameless" celebrities seen on the E channel.

Least the girl doing the football team isn't trying to announce it by the way she's dressed. There's this thing called self-respect and respect for others. Self-respect means you try to avoid behaviors that could lead others to think negatively about you. If you're going to dress provocatively, chances are people are going to view you in the same light as other women who dress provocatively - for a living.
Respect for others means that you don't go cruising into your high school prom dressed in a way that guarantees you'll cause a scene and garner 100% attention. Did you ever think that the rest of the girls at prom spent hours picking out a dress, having their hair done, trying to look beautiful and then Lil' Miss walks in half-naked and all of a sudden there's not another girl in the place who can compete with that.
It's hard for me to believe that any young woman with even a margin of respect for herself and others would consider prancing into her high school prom looking like that. For what it's worth, she's not all that attractive, and IMO her decision to wear such attire demonstrates a pathetic need for attention.

I agree that it was way too revealing. My only question is did the school let them know this would be an issue before she showed up? Did they have a dress code and she just didn't follow it? If not, they are in the wrong and ruined her senior prom.

Why do you care if she has respect for herself? It is not your business.
You are correct. But, who doesn't want attention now and then?
That is their problem. If they have self respect, like you say they should- it wouldn't matter to them or the dates they are with. Something called CONFIDENCE
She is not that attractive, that doesn't matter though. Maybe she thinks she is attractive, and she has confidence. Good for her

That's the best summary of the viewpoint of the "moral majority" I've ever seen. Thank you very much for that enlightening post.
"We don't care if you're a $2 whore sleeping with 50 men at a time. We only care that you LOOK respectable."
"We don't care if you're blowing guys in public restrooms so often that a line forms when you walk in. We only care that you VOTE against gay rights."
"We don't care about a girl who was raped and impregnated. We only care that abortion SOUNDS bad."
"We don't care if our Church harbors, protects and enables pedophiles. We only care that you go to church and sit in your pew."
"We don't care about hunger, poverty or lack of education. We want your tax dollars spent making the neighborhood surrounding our gated community LOOK clean and safe."
"We don't care about reality. We are too busy policing how things appear."
It's so refreshing to hear you people admit it every now and then.
