Hi A. I too have 2 girls. I have 1 that is 8 and one that 15 she will be 16 in December. I am truly blessed and give all the Glory to God because my 16 year old is a 16 year old girl. She has no interest in being popular or fitting in and I gotta tell you that biggest thing that I have learned about my kids is that they learn from us. Not meaning that you are doing anything wrong, but by just telling my kids not to wear certain things I am sure they would argue too, but I take the next step and make sure that they are aware when they go out in public they are not just drawing the attention of friends but possibly the attention of people that maybe they do not want attention from. My husband and myself are a united front and follow through since day one. We have 2 choices as parents we can give up and just rely on someone else to teach our kids because we do not want to argue with our kids or we can continue to Teach them to Arm them and know what to expect from the unexpected and I guarantee you will not push them away. They may still argue, but they are kids that is kind of how they learn and it is up to us and as long as we put God first then he will guide always us to where we need to be.
