at 16 years old, a daughter is enough "elderly" for to wear lingery if she want. at 13 years old, okay , it's nada, ut at 16 years, old no soucy. some girls ( same teenagers) feel most easy with thongs that with "usual" panties , ( if it wasn't most taller that trousers, because it seems coarseotherwise) . (sorry, i'm french, I have bigs gap in english).

I understood about half of that. Here's the thing, you're not legally considered an adult until the age of 18, so in my eyes, until then you're a child. Lingerie was meant to be sexually appealing, not shoved up some 13 year old's butt crack. I'm not one to be uptight about things, I get some people find it more comfy to have a piece of cloth constantly up their ass...but children shouldn't be as hyper-sexualized as they are today. That's just my view. If my kid wants to start wearing thongs at 18, so be it, but any age before that and they can expect an atomic wedgie and be told to change.

I do understand the language barrier. I wasn't trying to make fun. Next time just write to me in French :-) I speak French.

I think it's okay, I'm not saying they should be having sex. I'm just saying a thong tends to be easier for athletes especially in some sports more than others. I do see your point though. You have a very valid argument. (:

Hmm...I'd never thought about the benefits an athlete might have from wearing one, so you make a valid argument in that case as well. Thinking back at it now, I did wear one for dance under my dance costumes...after I was 18, of course! I grew up in a single father home with two brothers, my teen years were real awkward to say the least.

The definition of lingerie is 'Women's underwear and nightclothes' so, lingerie could mean any sort of underwear, so, essentially you are saying 'why the hell is a 16 year old wearing underwear?!' :P. I personally think it depends on the maturity of the 16 year old. It's the same with having sex and driving at 17. If you're mature enough and ready, then fair enough! & it is a good point she may well be wearing thongs for comfort or because she is a dancer or an athlete.

"Women's" is the key word there to me. We can't have underwear-less tiny hooligans running around! The wee ones are already half witted clowns, drawing on the wall with crayons, and sticking things into light sockets. Honestly, it doesn't bother me one bit unless it's my own kid. Everyone has their own comfort level. I don't like the feel of thongs so I'd probably just go without.
