Those
who criticize others for promoting girls to dress in a less provocative
manner and cool down their sexuality, perhaps need to work on their
self-esteem. Dressing and performing sexual activities because they
come across as cool is a terrible and misleading way to gain
self-assurance, especially when the consequence of doing so can leave
one feeling worthless. Regret can be hard to overcome.
Good for
Ms. Shalit for stepping up and taking on the challenge of trying to
promote the traditional good girl – something one would think all
parents and responsible adults would encourage.

"The steamy days of Washington summer may be upon us, but these girls, all from Burke, were definitely not getting skimpy. For a generation bombarded with news of pantyless celebrities, most of the girls we interviewed were surprisingly modest, more Hilary Duff than Lindsay Lohan."
