In May 2014, a Richmond, Virginia, teen attending a home school prom said she was kicked out because her dress was too short. she later posted a picture that confirmed her dress was longer than her finger tips, which is the dress code. some of the dads chaperoning say that her dancing was too provocative. "16, 17, 18-year-olds should not be in dresses with thigh-high slits, necklines that plunge precariously close to the belly button, backs that are cut so low as to expose butt dimples," said a mother named Judith on CNN's Facebook page. "Parents need to step in and stop this 'beyond the age' dressing, says the website. I feel like this is going too far, its a formal event and most dresses sold at debs, macys and most of them at promgirl.com don't fit the "dress code" and how it used to be when most parents were our age. Looking at her dress compared to the others i think hers is actually most appropriate, most teens our age are watching movies that expose girls 12 times as much as a short dress would. all these complaining parents need to realize that times have changed and they can only control their own children.
