Teens and sensitive issues
A lot of us on this message board work with youth. I figured I'd start a thread about questions that we may have in assisting them. Here is mine.
I have a girl in my house who is about a size 16, I believe. But sometimes her clothes look TOO TIGHT. Now, I think that this may be a DC thing, cuz the girls will wear some painted on jeans, ok? They have a name, but I forget. ANYWAY, my boss wants me to talk to her about her clothing. Not because it is too tight, but because it is not flattering to her. How do you approach a subject like that with a teenager? You know they sensitive? And what they look like is SO important to them. So I need to know how to even begin the conversation, because I tend to come across as a little insensitive sometimes. So help a sista out. What do I say to her?
