Why parents don’t allow thier teen childrens to wear Trendy outfits??

Parents are always concious about their teen’s dressing. They don’t like that their teen daughter wear trendy short dresses.   Parents and their children are always going to butt heads. This is especially true when it comes to the teenage years. Teen dresses are never going to be the exception. Fathers don’t want their daughters wearing “that” dress.

It seems there is always the family hazard of trendy clothing being a major family issue. Guess what parents? It isn’t your fault, or even the kids, for that matter.

Trendy clothing with the youth of all generations or even teen dresses is not a means to promote young girls sexuality or to get a parents disapproval. It’s all about teen acceptance among their peers.

The teen’s trendy clothing that parents don’t want to see their kids wearing is not a rebellious stage. The trendy clothing your son insists on wearing or those teen dresses your daughter wants to have are just their way to fit in. They want to dress like most of their peers.

You can voice your opinions and ask other parents about teen dresses their daughters are wearing or the trendy clothing your children want in general. If it seems offensive or not age appropriate parents should step in. The fact is that their will always be a debate between parents and their teens over their wardrobes.

The Great wall of China

The Great Wall of China is a series of stone and earthen fortifications in , built, rebuilt, and maintained between the 5th century BC and the 16th century to protect the northern borders of the Chinese Empire during the rule of successive dynasties. Several walls, referred to as the Great Wall of China , were built since the 5th century BC. The most famous is the wall built between 220 BC and 200 BC by the first Emperor of China, Qin Shi Huang; little of it remains; it was much farther north than the current wall, which was built during the Ming Dynasty.

The Great Wall is the world’s longest human-made structure, stretching over approximately 6,400 km (4,000 miles) from Shanhaiguan in the east to Lop Nur in the west, along an arc that roughly delineates the southern edge of Inner Mongolia, but stretches to over 6,700 km (4,160 miles) in total. It is also the largest human-made structure ever built in terms of surface area and mass. At its peak the Ming Wall was guarded by more than one million men. It has been estimated that somewhere in the range of 2 to 3 million Chinese died as part of the centuries-long project of building the wall. Continue reading

Your outfits are directly related to your personality.  Your dressing up style is the first thing that is looked upon by the people. Before communicating with you, they get the 50% percent idea about who you are by gazing at your dressing style only. Dressing is the first thing with which your personality is accessed outside your home. Therefore, you have to take extra care of your dress as they reveal what you are. Style needs no age boundary and has no proper definition as yet. Everyone sets the fashion of their own and select what they find most comfortable to wear. Later, this is what is seen as style. After all, everyone has a right to look attractive. However some people might like to keep it plain with blank apparel, others might want to catch concentration and wear something that is striking and attractive like a rhinestone shirt. Whatever might be the situation, your dress creats a great impact on the individuals around you and signify your honest person.

To be able to dress according to your personality, you must first find out who you really are and what are your aims and aspirations. After that you have to figure out what image do you want to project about yourself in public and then figure out the dress that suits according to you and your personality.  Continue reading
