Your girlfriend sells Avon? What does that have to do with anything?

She's one of the more attractive young women in the class, and is the typical "only 16 but looks like she's 22" girl. Some days are worse than others, and it really wasn't that much of a problem until yesterday. But yesterday, the shirt she wore was unbelievably revealing. It was extremely low cut and very tight. At the very least, she needed an undershirt to cover the cleavage as well as provide an extra layer to hide some of her feminine contours.

If she were a wallflower and never participated, or if attendance were sporadic, then it wouldn't be nearly the problem. However, she's in class everyday and is one of the best students in the class. She provides some of the most insightful comments, and is always willing to read a scripture or say a prayer, etc.

Which brings me to my point. This is a major distraction for the class. Half the class is 15-16 year old boys who end up oogling her for the entire 40 minutes. Needless to say, it isn't bringing the spirit into the class, and it isn't helping the class concentrate.

What should I do? I don't feel comfortable pulling her aside and talking to her myself about it, as I don't think it's my place. Do I call her bishop? Parents?
Get a woman to talk to her ... preferably someone she has a good relationship with, like a leader in the YW program. Best option is to get your wife to talk to someone, assuming she's tactful (and assuming you don't mind admitting to her that you noticed).

I know. It was my subtle, perhaps too subtle, pot shot at 71's age.

When I was sixteen it didn't matter what they wore, my mind was still gone. When God made us I wonder why he didn't start our desires low and then let them peak at about 21 or 22. Good luck.

I don't know how many here have done early morning seminary, but I remember it well. I would say that for most kids, just having them attend is about as big a victory as you can expect. If he being offended over you saying something to her or her folks became a reason not to come anymore, that would be a shame.

I say this is a situation where you don't do anything.
