My soon-to-be 4th grader resists wearing a bra
My 9 year old is having a hard time getting used to the idea that she NEEDS a bra. She simply won't wear one unless I insist, and even then there is whining, complaining, crying, screaming, etc. And it's not just bras: she hates any sort of layering under her shirt (sports bras, camis, etc.). But she is an early bloomer and her "growth" has become evident to the point of being embarrassing at times (at least for me, not for her, it seems).
When school (4th grade) starts in a few weeks she will be wearing a white shirt as part of her school uniform. I don't know of any school rules, but I am concerned about teasing if she goes bare under her shirt. How can I handle this situation?
She will come around soon as her friends do... It's not like your buying her see through uniform tops right?
I have 3 daughters All of mine bloom early
my 13 yr old is a B36
My 10 yr old is in a A32
My 7 yr old already Needs a sports bra... But doesn't like them so I buy her tanks and half bra tops that are very pretty very thin...
I make my daughters feel beautiful
I'm sorry maybe I'm just over sensitive but your post Sounds so self centered... It's Not about YOU!!!
It's hard growing up and to bloom so young is rough! To bad your daughter doesn't have a more understanding mother!
Sorry but you should be embarresed Not of what your daughter wears or won't but how your handling a very normal occurence..
Oh no what will the PTA think lol get a grip!
I agree with this!!!! She will wear a bra when she is good and ready for it. She is 9, she doesn't feel ready for the adult responsibility of wearing a bra, especially if her friends aren't. Like I said earlier, just buy a bra for her every now and then and eventually she will decide she is ready to wear them.
Quoting moser2km:
Shaving and bras and crap like the are all artificial constructs shoved down the female throat by men. Let her do what she wants. As long as it is modest, there's no reason to force her to wear a bra. Get her a vest. Or a sweater to go over her uniform top! Simple solution. Let her choose f and when she wants to wear bras.

Keeping time?
I have fought my daughter most of the summer. Well it took my Dad (her grandpa) saying something about it for my daughter not to fight me on it. I don't remember what he said to her, but I do know it was crudy or anything, but my daughter hasn't fought me since. If I can remember what he said, I'll let you know :-S

Sew in a piece of fabric inside her damn shirts if it's so embaressing for YOU.

Poor thing. It's the FOOD we have so much poison and hormones in our food this is why your little one is maturing so fast. Since you are the parent, and that's why "God gave us parents" to make the decisions for us when we can't make them for ourselves. If she needs it, you have to find a way to make her understand why it is important for her to wear it. Make her feel good about growing up and you both will be somewhat alike in terms of wearing bras. Maybe take her shopping and allow her to pick an appropriate bra in beautiful colors and see if that will aid you in encouraging her to except the inevitable. God bless both of you and good luck.
I think one of the many problems we have in this world now is allowing children to make decisions! What is wrong with mothers today? Our children don't pay bills, work to support the family or buy their own clothes so why are they making decisions about what they are going to wear or not wear.

I'm sorry if I came across as self-centered! I didn't intend to do that. I am unsure if I should insist that my dd wear something that might add some modesty but that she doesn't want to wear. I've already let things go for several months for the exactly reasons you advocate.
