There is barely a teenager in existence who hasn't felt insecure about their appearance in one way or another, and it's something that parents should do their best to understand. This is especially true when it comes to clothes—finding a style, as well as garments that suit you, is something that many struggle with well into their adult years.
No time is this dilemma more fraught than prom night. It's an event with a lot of expectations, one of which is that you should look good. The least you can hope for from your family is a compliment or two, which is not what one Redditor got when she bought a dress to match with her friend. Her mom made it clear that she didn't approve and that she found it embarrassing, which led her daughter to retaliate with a radical wardrobe change. It served her right for being judgmental.
