I agree and can very much relate! I grew up in a very conservative, Christian school that scared all the girls into being so modest to the point that we were ashamed of our bodies because we thought they were sinful. When we tell young girls to "cover up," that's the message we're sending them: "cover up your body because it is bad and sinful." Also, it implies that someone else (men, boys, or older (perhaps jealous) ladies) have some kind of right to tell young girls what they can wear. The thought it kind of ridiculous.

There has to be a better way to teach girls about modesty.

I'm so glad I'm a man, it would really suck to have to go through that. I personally don't care what anyone wears, I can only control myself. I'll have more respect for a modestly dressed woman than a girl walking around in a skirt that's more like a washcloth, but what she wants to wear is alright with me either way. I'm not the fashion police.
