Doesn't have to be. I tutor a girl in middle school and am pretty amazed at what 6th-8th grade girls wear to school. Lots of skin. Their mothers send them off with overshirts that are abandoned in lockers. No wonder the YMCA Teen Clinic woman hands out condoms by the handful like popcorn (although I continue to be perplexed that she dispenses Magnum XXL ones -- I thought they were for exceptionally well-endowed men -- how many boys in school need them?).
