you can't convince or pressure her into this, she obviously respects her body and who she is, what she is saying is correct some of the shorts that women wear now adays are no diffrent from knickers, thats not to say you shouldn't wear them thats purely to say, that not everyone want to show off stuff that should'nt be seen in public and other wemon don't care ?

Don’t. I too hate short shorts and if my friend pressured me into wearing them I’d just leave. I’m sure you have good intentions but you should NEVER pressure someone on what they can and can’t wear.

I think this is a case of her being self-conscious about her legs. I know I only wear shorts if I absolutely have to. I would say not to try and convince her to wear them outside, but if you're having a sleepover or hanging out at someone's house, you should let her know that she can be comfortable around you guys. If you guys are supportive of her and listen to her concerns genuinely perhaps in the height of summer, she might try to wear shorts outside. It definitely isn't something that can happen too fast otherwise it is just peer pressure :smile:

Maybe she could try board shorts some of those can be fairly long. Also bike shorts can be fairly long although tight but if length is the only thing that could be an approach if she’s happy to wear leggings bike shorts wouldn’t be too much of a jump.
