Personally, I think you did the right thing. She needs to know it’s inappropriate and if no one says anything then she’ll just keep going on like that. I hope she felt embarrassed and will learn from this. Also she’s being a bad influence for the younger sister. Honestly, I don’t know how these girls are getting away with dressing the way they do

Absolutely! You Absolutely should have said something. You did the right thing. Don’t second guess yourself. If she ripped off the jacket when she saw you she is asking for the attention, what you gave her was respectful, corrective attention that showed her she doesn’t need to use her body to get whatever she is seeking.

Why are you sexualizing the girl. Why the fuck would you be worried about her being around an adult male?? That’s just disturbed on its own.

Yeah no, you we’re definitely on a power trip, you saw a young girl doing something you didn’t like so you tried embarrassing her in front of everyone. If it really made you uncomfortable you would’ve pulled her aside and said something or something to your mom.

I’m not trying to be mean but the girl is over at your mothers house for personal reasons going on in her own house. If she’s not comfortable at home, and now she won’t be comfortable at your moms house cuz of you, someone she doesn’t know the girl is gonna run away from home or worse. I don’t think it’s your place to say anything and it’s not your child either. You better just hope she doesn’t run away cuz then your not only gonna have your mom very mad at you but your gonna have her parents attacking you as well. Next time I would just keep quiet or go home. And maybe you should apologize and maybe you and your mom can have a calm sit down with her and find out what’s going on and why she’s dressing like she is. :woman_shrugging:t3:

No one needs to dress or act according to someone else’s comfort level, it doesn’t matter how old they are. If you don’t like it, leave or look away.

It seems like she is going to invite so much danger, if her choices in her life is gonna be like that. You absolutely did the right thing. As adults its our responsibility to point out things that are going to put our loved ones in the harms way. The males in your family are also at risk because you never know if she seduces n then later puts the blame on that person. Tell your mother to put her foot down and politely set rules for everyones dressing around the house.

I can absolutely understand that women want to dress the way they want to dress and it is no one else’s business.
In this day and age it is extremely difficult not to sexualize children because of the way they are dressing and acting. A lot of them look like a full grown women
But children should not be running around in a bra around anyone!!
Especially full grown men.
Now , he should have handled it by speaking to his mother privately And let her know that he and his friends are uncomfortable visiting with a child running around half naked.
And yes a bra or a small crop top for a child is half naked.

I’m glad you are looking out for your sisters friend. But you should have had a talk with your mom about this. I’m sure you remember being a young girl and 16, it’s a tricky age. Hopefully your mom is around if they are inviting boys over.

The fact that she ripped her jacket off in the presence of a male concerns me. Why did she feel the need to do the at to get attention. I wouldn’t have jumped down her throat in front of everyone though. You had two options, 1 address it with your mother considering that is not your house or two, you could have pulled her aside and spoken with her about it privately instead of embarrassing her

I think you did the right thing. She purposely took her jacket off so you can look at her. You are an adult male and you have a right to feel uncomfortable too. She’s a guest at your mothers house. You are trying not to sexualize her. Telling her she’s making you uncomfortable is ok. If she told you that you an adult man was making her uncomfortable for looking at her no one would bat an eye. They would say “good for her, you’re being a creep” you are within the same rights to say she is making you uncomfortable.

Everything is ‘sexualizing’ someone anymore. Reverse the roles. You walk in with your female friend. Your teenage brother and his friend are sitting there. Friend sees you and decides to take off his sweats pants and sit on his skivvies in front of you. Gonna let it slide so as to not ‘sexualize’ him? There’s a difference between sexualizing someone and addressing inappropriate behavior. The girls behavior was inappropriate. How is it some of you don’t see that? I would’ve whipped my daughters ass for behaving like that It definitely wouldn’t have been mad at someone older than her calling out that kind of behavior. Absolutely inappropriate and unbecoming

If it was her own house that is one thing. That is not her house though so I think you were right. I would have done the same exact thing. Especially is she was under 18 with ADULT males in the room. She was obviously looking for the wrong kind of attention. It doesn’t matter that she is a teenager and “teenagers do those things”.

Bras are not required. I don’t wear bras ever an im out in public everyday. If it made you uncomfortable you should have talked to your mom about it as she is the acting adult.

If you’re worried about men/boys staring at her, then teach those men/boys how to handle themselves. A girls body isn’t here for sexual pleasure, and our society needs to be taught that. Instead of ridiculing the girl and teaching her that her body is only meant for pleasure when shown, (and it’s obvious she thinks this is the only way someone will love her) talk to her about why she feels the way she does about her body! Sounds like she needs a healthy woman to teach her she can show her body, but that it isn’t the way men are only going to like her.

Her behavior makes me concerned that she might have been being sexually abused at her own home. I would see if your mom can try and get her to talk to a counselor or even open up to her because that behavior almost always stems from sexual abuse at a young age. This is coming from personal experience.

When girls are allowed to dress like that it arouses boys or men and parents wonder why their daughters are raped molested or fondled .

Yes definitely there is no reason for her to take her jacket off like that sounds as though she wanted you guys to see her i dont blame you a bit thas a dangerous situation for you

I’ve had to tell a grown woman to dress more appropriate in front of my teenage sons, I had a roommate who dressed provocative and I was uncomfortable with my sons seeing her dressed like that. So if a teenager is dressing inappropriately then yes something should be said…. We tell our little girls to put their dress down, so why aren’t we telling the teenagers to put some clothes on. Only grown adults should be revealing themselves in private with other adults

I think as a brother you were looking out for your sister. You do not want to see his sister dressing that way. You were being protective. Personally I would not let either of them dress like that. My house my rules.I compromise with a little skin. Mainly jeans if your gonna wear a crop top. If you have short shorts then you must have a Top that covers your Top half with no cleavage. My daughter is a beautiful 14 year old girl who is very developed. She looks 18. Yeah. It may not be fair that girls can’t dress the way they want. At 14 and 16 what benefit does it give our kids to let them dress this way. None in my opinion. He is right though.
It’s also not fair that we live in a world that lets pedophiles, rapist out with a slap on the wrist. Waiting to pounce on our children’s. Yeah, I know the clothes don’t always matter. Dressing that why sure does not help. My opinion. Most people seem to live under a rock.

In a usual circumstance I would say that it doesn’t matter but she had no reason to willingly show her chest bc y’all came in. UNLESS you’re sensitive to it and she knows she could be mocking you - or she could just be dressed like that. You already said something I would just let it go. I realized it’s a survivalist way of thinking but she can wear what she wants. It’s her body. If there’s men or boys sexualizing her then that’s their issue. Stop telling the males to come around. :woman_shrugging:t2:

U did the fucking right thing and your mother and even her mother should have addressed it first.

Idgaf what today’s “fashion” is! Immediately ripping your coat off to expose that you only have undergarments on, the second you see adult males is inappropriate! In no way does this make you a creep or a pedo! Wtf

It’s not appropriate attire. No matter if your grown or a teen. If you have company dress modestly. I have to remind my sister she’s around a 15 almost 16 year old boy and she needs to be appropriate, and not dress like she’s at a club. You did nothing wrong. You felt uncomfortable and you voiced that. She needs some guidance.

All these comments saying nothing should have been said… should the uncle/cousin just have preceded to sit down and pretend that sitting in a room with teenage girls one of whom is in their underwear is not problematic? Because I’m pretty sure if a photograph of that group of people sitting in a living room was posted online people would have a LOT to say about those men, I think if a third party entered the room behind them they would also find it concerning. It’s inappropriate AF and someone had to intervene, although more discreetly would have been better

  1. How old are you? 2. If you are uncomfortable talk to your mother about being there when you’re there. 3. Stop sexualizing children! 4. Girls deserve to dress how they feel comfortable. 5. If you don’t live there anymore, you don’t have a say in what goes on there and how they conduct themselves. 6. The child maybe trying to get your attention and be seen as sexual but as an adult(I’m guessing you are 18 or older) IT’s UP TO YOU TO CONTROL YOURSELF!

Technically its your mothers house and she should be the one to say anything…but the girl was dressed when you entered the room so your mother wasn’t aware.
No I dont think you’re sick or perverted …I think at 16yo she’s old enough to know right from wrong and what she did was wrong
For whatever reason the girl has problems and needs help…could you have been more discreet ?? Without a doubt but I imaging you’d be fairly shocked by her actions and just blurted out what you thought.
Id also be concerned that your young sister is keeping her company and doesn’t see anything wrong in her friends actions .
Its not even about your comfort …or lack of it…its about safety and self respect. Also she could accuse you of ripping of her jacket or asking her to strip. Dont get caught alone with her
