    Go with her to shop for your clothes. If she suggests that you get an item that you don't like, then politely refuse or try to distract her by picking up an item you do like.

    Ignore them. If they keep on doing it, tell someone you can trust (teacher, best friend, parent etc.).
  • Question
    What kind of underclothes should I wear?

    It depends on the person. Most of the time, preteen girls are developing, so you might want to have appropriately thick bras (usually training bras, although some develop early) and good-fitting underwear. Wearing tank tops could work, too.

Warnings

  • Be sure your attire fits the dress code! Check the school dress code before going shopping.

  • Show your own personality - not someone else's

  • Don't wear anything that is too revealing. There's a time and place for everything, and you don't need to show skin to look attractive or impress people. Try wearing leggings under short skirts, or layering tops for a more appropriate look.

  • Don't spend too much money at once. Consider babysitting or doing extra chores to get what you deserve fair and square. Remember that in a few months there will be new trends and plenty of great new clothes, so don't buy too much on one shopping spree.
