Moms opinion. I'm 13 and i want to wear a thong. please help

Question

ok I'm 13 and I play volleyball so i wear thongs for that. but i want to wear them all the time. i think they are more comfortable. and its not like i want to show them off, just my personal preference. so if you had a 13 year old daughter ask you to wear thongs what would you say. because my mom thinks it makes me a s**t.

also any advice on how to convince her to let me wear them?

thanks

Answer 1

Just tell her what you've told us! I'm a Mum and what you've written makes perfect sense to me! If my daughter wanted to wear one for that reason I would have no problem.

It does not make you a s**t and it does NOT make you a "cheap w***e." Ignore what that man wrote, dear, and please stay clear of him. His questions are very disturbing to me. I wouldn't want my children communicating with him.

Answer 2

Good Luck, I'm with your Mum on this one (although making you a **** seems a bit harsh), but alas that is the general look that some girls who do have a bad rep have. I don't think it's appropriate for a 13yr old to be wearing them (15-16 maybe), kids of today are growing up way too fast and need to slow things down.

Answer 3

I think there is nothing wrong with wearing a thong as long as you don't show it off (even when bending down).

Convincing your mom may be more difficult though. You might tell her that no one will see what you wear beneath your slacks, and you may point out that what is all right for sports should be all right for other occasions as well. But since she is looking at things from a moral perspective that may not persuade her. Perhaps you find an older sister or other trusted relative or friend willing to speak to your mom on your behalf.

Answer 4

Why the heck do you want to wear one? They DO stick out when you sit down and people DO see.

Answer 5

Tell her its for comfort not the label.

If you have money, buy some yourself.

Its your body, I don't see why she wouldn't let you.

... Maybe you should tell her you're growing up, and a part of growing up is making your own choices.

Answer 6

Just explain to her that they are more comfortable. They are more convienent to wear because they didn't move around on you or shift.

Talk to your mom in a mature way and find out why she sees a problem with it. If you handle yourself like an adult she is more likely to respect you and help come to an agreement.

Answer 7

Just tell your mom you wear them for comfort. Not a fashion statement. And tellher its not like your showing off or anyone is going to see it. Good luck

Answer 8

No i have no advice on how to convince your mother to let you wear thongs.

Her answer is "no" and i suppose you need to adjust to that until you're old enough to work and buy your own, personal items.

That's what i had to do, also.  

Answer 9

i am a mom and of course a daughter. when i was 13, i wore a thong for the same thing. its comfortable, easy to move in, and had nothing to do with reputation or boys or anything like that. if it is that important to you for comfort, which is completely understandable, i would talk to your mom about it and tell her why. let her know you arent interested in them for any reason other than that. if my daughter were to ask me to wear a thong, i would let her because the way i look at it, they are just underwear. its better than goin commando right?lol and ask her if she doesnt mind you wearing them for sports, what is the difference between that and everyday life. hope this helps. good luck! :D

Answer 10

Well, parents can be extremely conservative on this issue, so I don't think it's best to tell her this.  I don't know if you CAN convince her to let you buy thongs.  Tell her to drop you off at the store cuz you want some new shirts or something, and then you can buy thongs for yourself.  You may have to hide them from her, though.
