I just came back from the beach today. I saw multiple groups of teens, probably between 14-17 yr olds in different groups. Girls wearing really revealing bikinis and some making out with boys and definitely very sexually active judging by their physical actions. I know it's none of my business but as a parent myself and also I was once a teenager that I could understand this but I just thought while it's harmless. Not sure the parents of some of those teenage girls would approve of their daughter's behavior with boys at this age.

So the boys making out and probably not wearing any shirts at all is ok, but darn those girls!

I disagree with this. I think women should value their bodies and not expose it for public consumption.Moderator cut: delete Parity between male and female doesn't have to be direct.
Females should respect their bodies so they don't get exploited.

Reason: Let's NOT go there

Then you shouldn't go to the beach where you can see women "exposing their bodies for public consumption," which is exactly what you were doing by looking at them. You were being a voyeur.
So stop going to the beach and looking at nearly naked teenagers. Problem solved.

People should worry about them selves rather than trying to impose their moral beliefs onto others. Teenagers are going to make out and more with or with out permission, that's how it is and will always be. Whether or not their parents care doesn't matter because it's going to happen either way. Merely wearing provocative clothing which in this case is appropriate isn't going to lead to being exploited, there is more to it than that.
You can flaunt your stuff and still have high self esteem and self worth. Teenagers at that age do everything possible to grab the attention of people around them, its nothing new. It must be working because it caused you to make a thread about it. Most ppl that have low self worth and poor self esteem are usually introverted so rest assured these teens trying to get attention feel just fine about them selves even if they are being publicly consumed by prying eyes.

I totally get it. Act respectful and be respected. I think the media shifts society, and not so subtly these days. The kids mimic the stuff they see on TV. That's how they're "supposed" to behave. There came a point in life when I no longer had the desire to walk around in public dressed in what amounts to underwear (or less). Modesty goes a long ways.
Moderator cut: orphaned responseI've raised two sons and I hope and believe that they are respectful towards all people. By teaching girls "anything goes" you are not teaching them well.

You are entitled to your opinion but when you assign value judgements I.e. "Women should value you their bodies and not expose it" you are crossing a line. Because based on what you wrote women who do show their bodies don't value them, and that is just factually wrong. Look at the women beach volleyball players. Their bodies are literally their livelihood, they value them. They are not exploited. Their uniforms are very small bikinis.
The real problem is your opinion shames women for doing something not found shameful in men, enjoying tHe beach, in the bathing suit of their day with their natural bodies. That is wrong.

I highly doubt that. Highly.
Some introverted people have poor self esteem, but I don't think MOST people with poor self esteem are introverted.
