Most people believe modesty is all about dressing well to cover our nakedness especially our private parts, people mostly believe nakedness is all about nudity but it's more about that. When talking about nakedness,it's means openness, openness of not just our body but openness to society pressure,openness to body shaming,absence of vulnerability.
So, if we are talking about modesty it's the opposite of opponess,it means protecting against opposition,having the will power to resist,being proud of who you are and not seeking validation from someone.
"Dress the way you will be addressed" is not really talking about "just" clothes like how many pictured it to be but how you carried yourself, how much you love yourself to stand against any ill comments about you, it is the way you are mindful of how your actions and choices impact people around you, it's how intentional you present yourself to the world, it is how you cultivate a sense of inner peace and self-respect.
I don't really blame some kids because when I look at the life their parents who trained them are living, I feel pity of what they emulated from their parents.I'm being grateful for having my mom, growing up, she was different among most mothers, her ways of life is what I wished every mother could have, though we didn't appreciate it then when we were kids because my mom decision is mostly different from other mothers decisions,we feel different from other kids, then we are opened to peer pressure but she trained us against that .
Reasons why I don't have much friends,it is because I rarely see who are intentional about modesty like I am, many of my mates think modesty is crap,so we do argue a lot and I don't want to be friends with them because making friends with them is part of how I will be addressed in the sense of the Proverbs that says "show me your friends and I will tell you who you are"many youth say now that it's a lie, they believe their type of friends doesn't speak about them but it does ,it's not about what you do but what your way, actions, choices speaks of you. My mom taught me not to be among the crowd but be among people, people of the same values and interest and not people that do not have mindset of their own.
