11 years old, everyone wants me to wear a "bikini" !?

But i won't, because it is too revealing and almost like wearing nothing - and the top will probably come right up. I'd wear a tankini but they don't have nice designs... What do you think of this issue? Are my family right? Wrong? By the way, i am asking this so i can have a second opinion.

Answer:
If you don't want to wear a bikini then you shouldn't. It's what you are comfortable with, not what everyone else thinks. Don't give into pressure and wear a one piece if that is what makes you comfy.
your only 11.where what you want.nobody can force you to where a bikini.just tell them what you said on here.or just try one on for them?maybe you'll like it.if not then dont worry about it
You need to feel comfortable with your own instincts. You also need to be comfortable with what you wear. Trust yourself and let others have their opinions.

You don't need to wear anything that makes you uncomfortable.
If your not comfortable, don't do it. Be true to yourself. If a bikini isn't your idea of a swim suit then don't force yourself into it.
don't wear one if you're not comfortable in it. then everytime you go out in it you'll feel out of place. for goodness sake just do what you want! i've never worn a bikini and i was fine with it. get a cute tankini.. those are modest yet still not all one peice.
your family is wrong you need to wear what you feel comfy with not what they say
Its your body, if a bikini is too revealing for you now, wait until you are comfortable with the idea. Who cares what your family members say as long as you think you are doing the right thing then you are!

I'm with you, Tankini's are a fashion statement try looking online here www.landsend.com they have a good selection in nice colors for your age!

Good luck!
You are right to wear what makes you comfortable. I can tell you are a very smart girl, you have articulated better than many woman much older then you. Many 11 year olds would have asked the question like "OMGZ my mom n dad want me 2 wer a bakini..."
Don't wear one if you don't want to. I have no idea why your family would pressure you into this but you are right, modesty is best. Fantastic grammar kid! Keep up with your education and you will get far.
I'm sure you'll learn this as you get older, but what everyone else wants you to wear doesn't matter too much, unless they're trying to let you know you're dressing trashy. Are you sure everyone wants you to wear a bikini? Seems rather odd since it's usually the opposite, parents want their little girls to cover up! Is it everyone wants you to wear one, or you really want to wear one and need a reason to?
I agree with everyone else...you should wear what you want to wear and that you feel comfortable wearing. Try Limited Too for tankini's...I used to work there and they had some really cute styles. Good luck!
hold on to your inocense as long as you can. you don't need to exploit yourself.
you better figure out who this "everyone" is & why they want to see so much of an 11 year old's body.
i agree with wendy. you should always be 100% comfortable in what you are wearing. when choosing a bathing suit you also have to consider the pros and cons of each suit. the best all around swim suit is a one piece. bikinis are fun for the beach and tanning but totally impractable (spell?) for fun thing like jumping off rocks and body boarding. take it from someone who's learned the hard way.
you don't need to look older .take your time growing up.you will be a young lady soon enough.I don't think you need one yet.you can cover up and still look just great.
I really agree with the other posts, don't do anything you will not be comfortable with. However, when I was a little older than you are now, I wanted to wear a bikini and my parents didn't want me to. Then my boyfriend didn't want me to wear anything reveling, then I got married and my husband didn't want me "showing off my body'. I'm in my older 50's now and have no "body" to speak of and I honestly regret that I didn't wear some clothes that showed off my body while I had one. There were times that i would have been very comfortable with short shorts and a T-top and I would have looked good. My boyfriend and then my husband didn't like it, so I didn't wear what i wanted. I actually regret that. I wish I had been myself and dressed as I liked and not listened to especially men. I think I would have enjoyed myself and it would have raised my self esteem. Good luck!!
No, you should not go for bikini at this age
i think you are intelligence
and you will be a easter girl
by dear
god intended us to be naked adam and eve ate the fruit of sin and thats why we wear clothes therefore wearing clothes is a sin
hey girl i had the same kinda problem when i was ur age.except i was like a tomboy & was'nt in to the hole girly thing yet.if that the way you feel about it then don't feel like you should have to.if you go to surf shops they have really nice swimmer tank-tops.just be yourself.and good luck on what you decied.
Its very weird that your family wants you to wear revealing clothes in the first place. Talk to your mother or your dad, tell them you do not like the way they reveal so much. They really should be happy that you are so young and not ready to dress this way. And yes takings come in trendy cute colors. Try Wall mart or Target when they come out. Old Navy has the best ones though! You need to look in more than one store
If you aren't comfortable wearing a bikini don't wear one. You are completely right in this matter and your family have no business trying to pressure into it. You need to be polite but firm and try not to get upset or angry about it. If somebody starts pressuring you to wear one you could try saying very politely and with a big smile. "No thank you, I don't like it, but if you like it so much you feel free to wear it yourself." You could also try asking them, again very politely, why they are so desperate for you to wear one. After all it can't possible affect them much what you decide to wear, why are they so worried about it?

You stick to your guns sweety, if you don't want to wear one, don't.
wear what you want, what makes u comfortable
Its up to you.My daughter and her friends wear bikinis only under swimming tops because they have matured.You have probably matured and they want you to wear themDont feel pressured ny your family.I am a parent of a 12 year old.You wear them when you feel ready to.
so wear it
Sure, go for it
if ur not comfortable in wearing one, don't
if you don't feel yours reddy then don't

do it when you reel comfortable

if you wanna try is try a tankini with the top cut like bikini

don't doanything you don't want to it's your body

i'm 13 and STILL don't usualy wear bikini's
Me seeing someone in tankini or in a one-piece bathing suit makes me think they're boring
If you don't want to wear a bikini, don't wear one. I'm 14 and I usually wear tankinis, wearing bikinis make me feel uncomfortable, I feel like I'm running around in my underwear.

Tankinis can have nice designs too! I have a really pretty flowery one and I get compliments on it all the time.
Wear whatever you like. You're only 11, you shouldn't have to wear bikini's if you don't like to.
