I feel like an insecure teenager for ranting about this. My mother is strict and makes me feel like my body isn’t perfect. She tries so, so hard. She loves to tell me about how beautiful my body is but the MOMENT I try on anything other than a t shirt and mid calf shorts, she tells me I look inappropriate and too skimpy. Not to say it would be different, but I’m a petite girl. I don’t even have anything to show off. I just feel like she’s trying to force how she was raised upon me, even when it’s insanely outdated. She just isn’t convinced that school isn’t a “skirt, sweater, and flats” type of thing any more.
