Arrested for Prom Dress

 

everyone seems to be missing a point, by the time a young lady reaches prom age she should have been raised to have set of standards on how to carry herself which this girl clearly has not i had 4 girls and 3 boys all of them went to their proms and other events and not only dressed decent but did not disrespect auth. or ever cause such a scene that would have the police called to them. the dress is bad enough but it was the attitude that would worry me.

This girl knew what she was doing when she decided to wear that dress to her prom. She wanted to get attention and that is exactly what she got. Where was her Mother when she left her house dressed or should I say not dressed? Everyone is talking about how kids today are influenced by music videos on MTV, well there are movies about shooting and killing people too, does that mean we blame movies and t.v. shows for murders? Just because it is on t.v. or in video games, does not mean it gives anyone the an excuse to go out and do it. I am so tired of everyone blaming everyone and everything for things that kids are out doing in society, instead of pointing the blame where it belongs, right back at the individual child and the people/family directly responsible for instilling manners, discipline, and good judgement in that child. That girl knew the difference between right and wrong and flaunted it in everyone’s face. They should have done more than they did, she needs some counseling and disciplinary actions taken.

It is todays youth’s prom fashion. as far as traditional goes, that has long been out the door. its not a problem of trashy and how she will look back on it but as an expression of being differnt. and as different as it was there was nothing wrong with it. whats the difference between going to the beach in a two piece? your still in a public place where others can see you.

Stop attacking this young girl. It is a shame she does not know any better. Every one is asking where here father is that not the point the point is these young girls see this stuff on tv and think it is ok. If there is no adult (mother, father or grandmother) there to explain to her it is not appropriate then how is she to know. So who is responsible certainly not this young girl.

When you wear clothing like this, you are setting yourself up for disaster. She is obviously a girl who needs attention and this was her way to get it. Unfortunately, you receive bad attention from it and she’s lucky that it wasn’t worse than getting arrested. Who knows what sicko is watching her and it makes her an easy target for rape. You can still have a sexy looking body without showing your whole body.

Her parents need psychiatric help. But you cant fully blame it on them. She is old enough to know right from pathetic. That’s the problem with the world….LACK OF LEADERSHIP FOR YOUTH. The government should intervene and offer more programs that are conducive to teens and young adults and to also have mandatory programs that these kids need to attend at the first sign of trouble. You can best believe that this isn’t the only outfit of it’s kind she’s worn.

First you can not blame the hip hop culture! Who cares? It’s up to the parent and child to make decisions not to let that be an influence. That’s self control. But eventhough the daughter may have changed it around did the mother not see her go out of the house like that? The father is not a factor either, there are plenty of single moms who raise wonderful children with morals. This girl is not to be talked down on either. Maybe this is what she thought is fashion. This is a nice runway dress or or an appropriate event but not prom. And talking down on her is maybe what she is rebelling after and she may need positive reinforcement for other things. Give her alternatives to her negatives, praise her for the good and maybe she would not be crying out for attention.

I THINK its rude to blame the entirety of the hip hop culture on this girls choice of prom dress. To assume she listens to hip hop is one thing, to blame the culture for someones poor choice is rude and immature. Yes immature, perhaps the girls mother should have told her that the dress was far too revealing for a high school prom, or her friends or her own judgment.It has nothing to do with hip hop, especially since hip hop has never advocated revealing dresses for any occasion, especially those set in a high school setting. I think the school was right to deny her entrance, however they should have given her the money back, and i think it was wrong for the media to highlight this, could it have been feeding into a hunger for recognition and or popularity in a negative way?!?! perhaps!

Most people here are right, this young girl should have not been allowed to leave her house like that, thats not even a prom dress. And for the people who thought she was tryin to make a fashion statement, well they need to get slapped. I wonder what kind of family/friends she have, If that was my daughter I would of back slap her so hard. The dress looks like it was made from a silk curtain. We were all young too at one point, but my parents would have knock that dress off of me, no joke I’m serious…lol, how ever the dress is too trashy for any female.

DUH!!! did she even go to school to know the dress code? anyway, it don’t matter she should have enough common sense…She ain’t gettin her money back, it was her own fault…

me having a daughter i would never let her go out the house looking like that but if the dress fit my girl… i mean fit and she look good i would have to think about it… but to me the dress doesn’t fit to her.. i wouldnt call her trashy or blame it on hip hop thats just stupid people talk… maybe blame her mother for not trying to get her to wear a dress that fit her… and a little on fashion peoples they put it out there and call it a prom dress… and if she put it together herself then she should get a F in sewing class… :O) and i think its a cute dress… if it fit her and what i dont think that some of these people looked up 2008 prom dress… i found 7 to 8 dress that almost look like this one… of course the girls that had them on look way better then this young lady…but thats not fair that she got kick out of prom just because the dress didnt look good on her… ~ALEX~

I think the dress was totally inappropriate for a school function. She should have been made to leave (which she was) as far as the money goes I dont think she should of gotten it back b/c she’s the one who decided to wear the dress even though she knew what the dress code was.

She looks like she has low self-esteem so I guess she did it for attention to see if she could get some, and if she is reading these comments ” YOU GOT YOUR ATTENTION’ now go get Concealing or something to help with that low self image!!!!!
