You should go to a thrift store or go through your closet to find a pair of jeans you don't wear anymore (maybe a pair with holes or some that are too long, just make sure they fit around the waist) and cut them yourself. It's really easy to do, and you can choose to distress them or bleach them to a color you like. Look up a video on YouTube :)

idk where you live, but here at the little boutiques you always pass on the way to forever 21 have a bunch of cute high-waist shorts that don't show your cheeks (atleast standing up ;)) here there is CitiTrends and Simply Fashion..

but i struggle with that because i have a biggish butt, so anything i put oon basically shows my cheeks if i bend over -___- it's actually annoying and i don't condone that lol i agree with your mom haha

i just returned some forecver 21 shorts because they were to short.



tbh if you have a small butt i say why not... but listen to your parents lol



anyway yea just try those little non-brand stores. because every where else is selling what sells, which is BOOTY SHORTSSSS. lol good luck. <3
