NSFW Is this inappropriate wording for a T-shirt?

I went to pick up a 17 year old from high school for a doctors appointment. There was a 15–16 year old girl in the office wearing a T-shirt and on the front was “I’m just a natural girl” and on the back it said “But I’ll shave it for you”
If she was 18+ would be one thing, but what do you think of this on an under age girl?

Where the heck are her parents?????
You assume it it talks about the pubic area, or not?
It is cheeky.
It could be referring to armpit hair (or facial hair) maybe it even is referring to that?
Edit: Now that I put a little more thought to it, the only thing that I don’t like about it is the fact that I don’t want to know what somebody is shaving…, it is a bit too private to make a public announcement about.
That she shaves which ever part of her body, I don’t mind and don’t judge.
Meh. Kind of borderline. There’s worse out there.
It wouldn’t be appearing on any child of mine, but if the school doesn’t object…what can you do?
Well maybe the parents aren’t aware what she’s wearing at school. She might keep those clothes in her locker at school or at a friends house where she goes before school etc.
Not appropriate for high school.
Hahaha. No. Trashy as fuck anyways.
I think I’m old. I had a friend who’s 16 year old daughter had a “Porn Star” sticker on her car, then were suprised when she ended up pregnant. They had no idea she was having sex.
And presumably the parents paid for (or helped) the purchasse of said car? So they would have been within their rights to make her take it off as well as setting other sensible boundaries?
Spineless, clueless parents.
You’re not old. You’re just NOT a fool.
What the heck is wrong with kids these days? Geeeeez. Learn some self respect.
I’d raise my eyebrows but only a bit.
Eh, there are worse things out there.
Do you know for a fact she was 15 – 16? She could’ve been 18. It’s a pretty slutty quote though. But you know, sexual expression is at an all time high in our society. To me, it’s kind of the new rebel thing. I guess it’s better than gang banging, but as extreme. And yes, people, if she’s trying to make a name for her self and promoting her self in that way, she may be highly interested in the path of adult entertainment. There’s no telling what she’s been exposed to, whether or not she’s tough skinned and thinks its just hilarious, or is dead serious about it all. I think the bottom line is she’s getting people to converse. She’s letting people know whats real, and in her mind, slutty quotes are whats real. Let’s not be astonished and naive to the fact that “underage” people have sexual feelings and expression as well. Let’s also acknowledge that yes, there are tons of underage teens have sex with each other. Egyptians use to pop out kids by the age of 14. Humans are all about sex. Sex for fitness. Sex for health. Sex for rest. Sex for pleasure. Sex for fun. Sex for reproduction. Sex for sale. Sex for etc.
She could have been wearing a Justine Bieber shirt. Which is worse?
my mom might have passed out and my dad would have gone crazy, if I tried to wear that out of the house in highschool. They would be mortified if I wore it now- and I don’t even live with them. It’s good to be comfortable in your own skin but damn,. .....
Seems an appropriate place for this
Made me laugh. But I wouldn’t wear it.
Eh, most teenagers existence is dedicated to pushing the boundaries. There are so few boundaries out there to push nowadays that the ones that we notice are ones such as these. I’d rather my teen rebel this way than dive into meth.
Doesn’t surprise me at all. In today’s Rap, Hip-Hop culture, most kids consider themselves adults as soon as the harmones kick in; and sadely it seemes to be getting to be staple.
@Roby whoa i dont think it has anything to do with “rap/hiphop” culture. im a folk musician and its not fair to attack a whole genre of rap/hiphop (which started off as a counter culture to talk about progressive ideas) now “gangster rap” and “big money hiphop” those can be blamed but dont call a whole genre out…
My first thought wasn’t about her shaving her pubic area or not.
Was she black? “Natural” hairstyles often refer to styles that don’t need chemical straighteners or maintenance to stay straight.
Natural hair on google images.
It can be a symbol of pride in a culture while rejecting a typical definition of beauty.
I had not thought about race, but she was Caucasian, light brown, straight hair.
I’m having a hard time finding a shirt on the internet with such quotes together.
I would be concerned that wearing it in public might elicit behaviours from men with which a minor female should not have to deal. It is like painting a target on her back (literally) for perverts and pedophiles or at a minimum jerks and fools.
I am not clear as to the reason this girl was in the office. Perhaps it was in reference to being pulled out of class because of said shirt? Depending on the state/school you were at, I would question whether there was a dress code. Anyone in the district has a right to speak with the principal/superintendent/school board. What do I think of an underage girl wearing this? Tacky, inappropriate at school, and disrespectful not only to those around but to herself. In addition, if she was 18+, and in school as a student or on some other mission, again, tacky, inappropriate at school and disrespectful not only to those around but to herself. Anywhere else, EXCEPT in a business atmosphere (including church) would come under the category of “whatever floats your boat”. If one wants to portray themselves in a manner that is not satisfactory to the bystander, the bystander has to look away, because people will do what they want to…..and who has the time or energy to waste on something like that? I love the reference above from Dr. Lawrence….“jerks and fools”- yes! You will certainly see them lurking in the shadows! What would I do about it? Keep my children in check – as simple as letting them know what is not acceptable. I feel that children, given respect by their families, will grow up being respectful. Not all…..but enough of them to make the difference.
