writes:Hello there!Here is my crisis. Men who are way older than me are looking at my legs and smiling at me. Not the friendly polite smile but a sinister pervert smile. Please forgive the language. This started happening when my mom said that I should be more girly. Should I tell those guys to stop looking at my legs and tell my parents or keep quiet about this because i haven't told my parents yet. Thank you. Reply to this Question

 Then don't worry. Men are going to look. Consider it flattery and then ignore them.

Cover them up! Harder to look at girls legs if they're in a pair of long pants.

 If you are 15, are you trying to dress too provocatively for your age? More like an 18-21 year old would be dressing? Short skirts? No tights? Short shorts? That kind of thing?
Sadly, if you do wear short skirts or anything that leaves little to the imaginatioon, men are going to look. That is the fact of life. And if they think you are older than you look (i.e over 16) then you are fair game to them.
You can still look girly and femanine without resorting to showing everything off. Longer lines and maxi dresses are in at the moment. Cover up a bit!

 Ignore it or wear long pants. You can't control what other people do, where they look and what they think.

 Do what you feel is best. But in your shoes I'd probably wear something that covers my legs a bit more the days where I don't want the attention.
Men look. It's what they do. Women look as well, perhaps women are just more subtle.

And that's just a preview of what's whats coming.

well ask yourself one question....how do you dress? If you are only between 13-15 you may be dressing too old for your age and giving the older men the wrong impression. Swop mini skirts for longer ones or just wear trousers. Don't dress older then what you are. We can't stop men from staring and i remember when i was younger i used to freak out about it, but now i just tell them where to go. lol.

 Hi
Unfortunately you cant stop men from looking at you, as horrible as this may make you feel. If it is older men you know , then tell your parents. But if this is really upsetting you, then I would suggest you wear longer skirts, or flowing trousers to cover your legs, you can still look femenine and girly without having to wear a skirt.
I hope this has helped

If anything, they should look at your face and smile cause thats where the real person is, not anywhere below that ;)
