About Carly Millis Expertise I'd love to help answer any question. I'm very open - don't be afraid to ask about anything
“taboo”. I realize that every situation is different, and I don't think life has set "rules" ---
dating older people, sex before marriage or age 18, drugs, etc. I'm super honest, and I'll
tell it to you straight. I'll be as nice as I can, but I'm going to tell the truth. I know how
crazy life can be, and how everyone needs help. I want to offer my opinion to give you
something to think about, and maybe solve your issue. SIDE NOTE: I'm especially good
with talking about depression. I suffered from severe depression for about a year and a
half, so if you're currently going through one, I'd love to help.
Experience I'm currently a teenager, but I'm considered very mature for my age (by my peers, teachers, parents, etc.). For as much as this is worth, my friends always come to me for help, and told me to sign up to help people on this website. I'm not a professional expert, but I've been through a lot, I'm pretty intelligent, and I'm open. As previously mentioned, I suffered from sever depression for a long time, so I know a TON about that. I have a therapist, and I've learned a lot about the way people think/work from her.

Question But how does stacy not care when her mom makes those remarks. How does she just shrug it off and just wears what she wants
Answer Well that's up to Stacy. She can talk to her mom and see if her mom will stop making the remarks, but Stacy is the one that chooses how to react to the things her mom says.
If Stacy is truly bothered by the comments, she should examine what exactly makes her mad about them. Like I said, this isn't just about clothes, this has to do with something deeper.
Stacy is completely ABLE to wear whatever she wants, and she is completely ABLE to shrug off her mom's remarks. She is just really sensitive to the issue, and CAN'T shrug off the remarks.
I wish I could tell you how to ignore those remarks, but the truth is, it's totally up to Stacy. If she's going to react that strongly to a simple clothing issue, there's definitely something deeper than just dealing with her mom's opinion. Maybe she feels smothered by her mom, or that she doesn't have enough freedom. I'm not a psychologist, so I can't know for sure, but she should examine what EXACTLY makes her mad about the comments. Does she feel like she's being "babied"? Does she feel that her mom is overstepping her boundaries? Does she feel that her mom is picking on her? When she can figure that out, and start dealing with THAT issue, the clothing problem will dwindle.
Hope that helps...please continue with the questions if you're still confused!
