Third, any parent should be concerned if their kids are over or underweight. It's not generally considered healthy. I didn't mean to imply that I was overly upset about it and I love her no matter what. She has a million other qualities that exceed any of her faults. Fourth, teenage girls(and boys) are exceptionally evil when it comes to demeaning each other, which most people get over, but some never do. Kids can be cruel as evidenced by an earlier thread I came across on this board about laughing at the special needs kids in school.
And fifth, it's the whole thing about the perception of beauty in our culture and the effect it has on young people. (and older folks too...hence the huge market for beauty products, cosmetic surgery, lipo, etc etc etc)
Hope that clears it up a bit.

Ah right, got ya :thumbsup:

I was just wondering. But as long as you love your children thats all that matters ;)


Yes. I am a bit stoned. Just incase u thought i spunded weird....

Rawr, here I am.

I'm going to prom in a tutu and combat boots. I say fuck the stereotype that all chicks gotta be 97 lbs and 5'11. That's not me. I love my body and while I'm not Lindsay Lohan i.e anorexic, I'm still pretty fuckin' hot. Haha, no but seriously..I hate dress shopping, or clothes shopping for that matter because of all the hype about how you have to dress/look a certian way. I don't feel comfortable in skirts 2 inches from my cooter and shirts that might as well be a thong.

BUT the dresses are made to attract the boys at prom, I mean come on..almost ever teen at prom is going to go to some beach house or a hotel..get smashed and sexed up. It's kind of like, right of passage.

The thing with dress shopping is though, it seems hopeless for like, weeks, and then when you think you aren't going to get a dress and just stay at home watching I Love Lucy re-runs or something, you find the perfect dress and are all excited again.

P.S

Cher is scary.

Fuck girls having to get dresses to look like a whore! What about the crimes against men!? Going to prom a dude is expected to pay for a meal, gas, a tuxedo, a limo if he so chooses, and those corney flower things, a ton of shit. giving up your dignity to me is not as bad as paying a company 300 bucks to wear their suit for a night!

fuck prom man i never went to it i ended up getting wasted at the after parties and had enough cash to buy my own shit later. And as for prom dresses being attractive on girls not to me im more into normal clothing and chicks with mohawks stretched ear lobes and tattoos... hell yea!

what has this site come to where has the porn ages gone

No offense but girls have a lot more pressure on them when it comes to formal events. A guy can walk into prom in button up shirt and a tie and still be considered dressed alright. A girl can't walk into prom in some casual summer dress or anything, it's not that easy. The amount of money girls spend on prom is probably WAY more than guys. Guys can just rent a tux anyway, not many girls can rent or want to rent a dress, a lot of girls pay for a limo (or make it a group thing), hair/makeup/nails costs way too much. A set of acrylic nails costs 50$, hair can cost anywhere from 80-300$ depending on what you're getting done. I don't know much about makeup. Prom dresses are insanely expensive and occasionally girls get WEDDING dresses as prom dersses. I mean, it's some crazy shit. If I'm gonna be dancing and having fun all night long I don't want to wear an uncomfortable dress t hat's just going to be beer/vomit/cum stained in the morning.

yea i know that was a semi sarcastic joke, but ill never understand why girls do all thatr stuff, all my life ive never cared about my appearance. the last 2 years of high school i only owned 2 pairs of pants and got made fun of often... yea girls got it bad but the dont have to conform to the mob, read the book Branded, im reading it right now for my english comp class and it will seriously make you look in the mirror and see yourself for the first time if you are all into style

I'd tell you guys why we do it but I'm really not sure. I use makeup because I think I look better with it, I dress a certian way because I'm comfortable that way, I used to get my nails done because I liked how they looked. Every girl is different though, someone may spend 3583058 billion dollars on prom because their mother/father wants them to, or someone may get their hair/nails/makeup done because they feel like they have to fit a certian standard. There's too many reasons to just try and say a few.

i never went to prom. i actually didnt know prom was happening til the week before it happened; i was probably too stoned to notice. i went to one high school dance, one time, and i wore a corset and had blue hair. if i'd gone to prom i'd have worn something strange -- tutu and combat boots sounds great, BabyFacedAbortion.

I agree with beachguy. if your daughter's into the idea, get her a big pretty cinderella dress. or whatever sort of nice, not whorish formal dress she can be proud of.

the need to belong to a group is a bitch
