It seems so.

There is swimming, ballet, gymnastics and lots of other activities where it's appropriate for teens to not cover up. Junior figure skating is a real life example of young lads and ladies competing on icy arenas. Having been exposed to sports in real life and on tv I just don't get how seeing a fictional 17 year old with an exposed midriff can make people uncomfortable.
