Parents refuse to pay their 15-year-old babysitter the full amount they owed her because they thought her tank top was inappropriate: ‘$50 does not feel like enough money for 2 kids and 7 hours’
Being a teenage girl is all about adults constantly telling you that your clothes are «inappropriate,» even when they are nothing of the sort.
