How can I make my mom see that I DON'T like shorts?

I have a weight problem so i hate wearing shorts because i feel so exposed, but i can't make my mom see this. NONE of the shorts I have fit me comfortably, and I really hate them. Any advice?I have a weight problem so i hate wearing shorts because i feel so exposed, but i can't make my mom see this. NONE of the shorts I have fit me comfortably, and I really hate them.

I'm overweight and all I wear are shorts. I don't like clothes to begin with so I try to wear as little as possible. The shorts I get have an elastic waistband with a drawstring to snug them up. they come down to about my knees or a bit higher and are very roomy and comfy, to me of course. So maybe if you try different types of shorts you might find one that feels better to you, otherwise stick with long slacks, just make sure in the summer they're light so you don't sweat or feel too hot.

Straight up tell her. Being overweight is nothing to be ashamed of. If you feel uncomfortable, go to the gym. People at gyms will see that you are trying to better yourself and respect that.

You already said you didn't want them, if she wants to ignore you and waste her own money then that's her business. Don't wear them, and that's it.

Just tell her. You'll be surprised that it might actually work

Just tell her shorts are a waste of money. If it's hot, simply cut the legs off a worn-out pair of jeans

dont wear them? i hope your mums not still dressing you....

Thanks! This helps, and I will be sure to tell my mom that. :)

You should tell her with all honestly that you don't like wearing shorts and that money could go to something that you like to wear instead. You could try different styles of shorts, like Bermuda shorts (which is what I used to wear a lot.) Be honest with her.
