k, not trying to be disrespectful in any way to anybody, and if it comes out that way, i apologize.
First, quoting things to most girls is NOT going to work. It might work for those who are “basically tznius” or looking to improve, but those who are comfortable are not interested.
Second, tznius in action, as oomis pointed out, is largely overlooked. Living oot, I have a lot of friends from a variety of backgrounds. As such, some dress more tzniusly than others at this point in their lives, but they are all good girls, alway running to do chessed, always looking for more ways to grow in Yiddeshkeit, ohavei Hashem, etc. And then i have friends who dress tzniusly, and look the part, and yet, the way they act… Screaming in the street, walking in a certain way in front of boys, you get the idea. I’m not saying the first group is right, or the second group is awful, and i’m not saying everybody fits into these categories. C”V!
Third, go into almost any highschool, and ask what the most dreaded speeches are… don’t be too shocked at the answer… they get annoying after a while, and we tend to tune them out.
this is just a random side point-short uniform skirts didn’t start in any one specific school. As long as there are rules, there will be girls trying to break them, and in my school girls have been cutting their skirts shorter for years… or wearing them too long…
Fourth-this is directed to any male who commented/wanted to comment: the same way learning torah is your mitzvah, tznius is our mitzvah. the same way i can’t understand how you have a yetzer hara not to learn, you can’t understand the yetzer hara not to dress tzniusly
For those who tznius isn’t a problem for-good for you! but some people are still struggling. Everyone has his/her struggles, and while tznius is very important, it may come harder for some than for others. People are coming from different places, and maybe they wore the tight skirt, but they didn’t wear the tight shirt. One thing at a time…. 🙂
