I honestly think that this whole crop top versus non crop top debate is getting a little silly. Each parent is going to make a decision that they think is best for their child do we all agree no but I have a hard enough parenting my own child, I don't need to parent anyone else's. It honestly doesn't affect my life if someone I don't know chooses not to allow their daughter to wear a crop top. Its their right as a parent to make those choices.
I know when I was cheering our gym had crop tops and I hated it but to be on the team, I had to wear one. So as soon as I was finished on the floor my parents would hand me something to wear over it. And yes, I wore a bikini to the beach but for me it was that I felt like everyone was staring at my pudge on the floor, even though I knew mentally no one was and at the beach with my friends, there was no pressure to look amazing from an overwhelming crowd.
