Girls have been seen wearing sweatshirts in the warmest of climates to the puzzlement of their parents. The heavy hoodie worn with shorts and sandals may be providing a solution to a problem that might surprise you. 

The Culture Translator from Axis recently shared that teens coping with anxiety or body insecurities may find comfort in a garment that wraps them completely. Sometimes a girl may want to feel invisible, and the hoodie gives her that escape. 

It’s important for girls to feel comfortable in their own skin. Remind your girl that you are there to listen to any issue that may be burdening her heart. Help her to go from hoodie to holy by focusing on God’s plan for her. That conversation might make all the difference!
