Wear clothes that fit you. If you consider dressing like a good-for-nothing fashionable, do so when you can afford it. Dress very well when interviewing for a job or meeting your grandmother. Remove all body “art” when you are with your teachers, former teachers, parents and grandparents. Don’t get a tattoo. If you have to “express yourself” do it through words on a page or with paint on a canvas.
Boys – don’t “sag.” Your underwear protruding above your pants is most uninteresting. Pull your pants up to your waist. Wear a belt sufficiently tightened to hold your pants above your waist. Wash and comb your hair a lot.
Girls -don’t buy into the typical youth leader’s thinking that suggests that what you wear, as a young women, leads young men to “fall.” Young men have been “falling” for centuries. Some would “fall” if you traipsed around in a zipped canvas bag. The carnal cravings of males have nothing to do with you or your clothing. Nevertheless, be modest. It is wiser than being immodest. Brittany Whomever is not worthy of your imitation. A cursory glance at her résumé (and those of her ilk) will make this clear. Hopefully your ambitions far exceed her achievements.
