- ABC News
"It does not come up frequently, but when it does, it's a big time issue," said Gary Skoloff, a New Jersey family law attorney and the former chairman of the family law section of the American Bar Association.

 Banned From Prom
-
Times Picayune
The 2007 prom theme at Higgins High School, Bittersweet Memories, said it all for twenty-five girls turned away at the door for inappropriate dress. Although the New Orleans' school regulations explicitly forbid it, the young women arrived in dresses that showed too much cleavage, or made use of see-through fabric. "I was embarrassed," said Miranda Melerine, 17, a senior who was among those barred from the evening's activities. "Our prom has been stolen from us." Do clothes really "make the man"--or young woman?
-
Do you think these girls should have been turned away from the prom? What did their choice of attire say about the school's rules?
-
How do you think clothes communicate your priorities to the world? Give some examples of how certain types of people dress, and what their clothing "tells" others about them. What message do low-cut or see-through dresses communicate?
-
See Ephesians 5:15-17. Do you think choosing your clothing gives you an "opportunity" to honor Christ? How?
-
See 1 John 2:15-17. How were the girls at this prom "boasting" about what they had? What effect do you think dresses may have on the boys around them?
-
How should our faith in Christ impact our daily choices? See Colossians 3:1-14. Do you think immodest dress is part of our "earthly" nature?

How do you define success for your child? “Graduates from a prestigious college.” “Nabs a high-paying job.” “Settles down with a nice family.” Sounds good. But what if you got it all wrong?
What about greatness? Where does it fit in? “If you aim your children at anything less than greatness, you’ll set them up to miss the whole point of their lives,” says author Tim Kimmel. In Raising Kids for True Greatness, Kimmel turns the definition of success on its head and guides you in preparing your child for a life that will easily eclipse the goals of those who are merely successful.
