Modern Modesty

Did you know that 96.2% of the participants of The Rebelution's Modesty Surveyi feel that modesty is important for all girls, regardless of height, weight, build, etc.? Did you know that most girls (at least, the ones worth having and listening to) do not appreciate most popular clothing styles for men? Read the Survey, type “modesty for guys” into a search engine, talk to a trusted friend or parent of the opposite sex; you may be surprised. Even having been raised conservatively, many of the answers I have read and received surprised me. The purpose of this paper is not to explore what is modest, rather what is modesty – in clothing choices and behavior.

Update

Yes, I realize I am behind. Pretty soon, I'll be a graduate, and hopefully have more time to devote to writing. I'm working on a summary of our trip to Alabama still. But I had to take time off to write a research paper on modesty, which will appear here in a few minutes. :) And I have a few topics I'd like to write about once I have the time. I've also been pretty busy socializing. :P Next Thursday, my uncle and aunt and cousins are coming to stay with us. Next Friday is my other cousin's wedding. Graduation is next Saturday, followed by a dance. Hopefully, I can take June and use it for lots of stuff, including purging my music, writing a bunch, and cutting sugar out of my diet. We also might go to New Hampshire to visit other cousins. July will likely be busy again. Lots of birthdays and stuff. I'm planning a dance for the month of July.

I'm eager to find what this coming year will bring me. I'm also lost. But I can keep myself busy enough. ;)
