School dress codes

[Grakthis]

This is going to be my senior year and the first year ever that our school has resulted to wearing uniforms!
I am not happy with it. I feel that you should be able to express yourself freely and one of the ways in doing that is to dress independently. I feel as if we're being categorized into one group and I like to be looked at as an individual.

You're a minor so you're not entitled to express anything.  Get over it.

I go to a private school and our dress code is polo shirts and pants with pockets and belt loops (aka cargo, khakhi, anything of that nature). Oh, and we can wear sandals, we just have to have socks.

yeah, what I was thinking...  8O

Anyways, yeah. I guess i'm kind of glad that I go to a public school, you can just wear what you want (to a certain extent of course  :wink: , we don't wan anyone looking like a cheap ass ho, unless of course they ARE a cheap ass ho). JK.

Then again, having a dress code does sort of equalizes everyone, which is good because I have a seen a lot of people criticized or prejudiced because of what they wear and it just sucks. So...

I think that with like black nike or adidas flip flops they look fine. Maybe I'm just used to it.

Am I supposed to take that as 'don't complain because adults won't listen to kids' or taken literally as 'your opinion doesn't matter because you're a minor' ?

The no sunglasses rule is ridiculous. For one, there's likely a handful of kids whose prescription glasses transition in the sun who are going to have a spent a sh*tload of money on new glasses or (hopefully) will be tolerated.

Plus, wearing sunglasses outside should be encouraged, not forbidden. That's how old people end up with bad eyesight (well, that's not necessarily true, but it makes a good complaint).

i went to a private high school and my uniform wasn't even as strict as that dress code. ours were kind of cute actually... like from the "baby one more time" video. and it was all girls, so they didn't care that our skirts barely covered out butts.

i would complain until they changed it.

I just graduated from highschool, I really wished we had uniforms, some of the clothes girls wear are gross, i dont want to see anyones boobs or ass. and it's not just the girls, it's the guys too, they wear thier jeans like down to thier ankles. I think having to wear a uniform would be a good idea. also maybe if they also allowedyou to dress it up with any accessories you want, then it wouldnt be a big deal.

Not wearing sunglasses causes your eye to be exposed to excessive UV rays - even on a cloudy day.  Excessive UV can damage your retinas and, over time, can cause cloudiness to form in your lenses, known as cataracts.  So, I think it makes a very good argument.

Also, the teachers are allowed to wear sunglasses on campus, but us kids can't.

Oh, I have an update, too.  In every single class there's a big sign hanging up at the front of the room saying "DRESS CODE:  STRICLY ENFORCED".
That's all they f**king care about, I swear.

Your dress code is crazy. Seriously, I'd switch schools.
I think we should be able to express our individuality and how can we when everyone looks the same (ie. uniforms)

Luckily, our schools dress code isnt really...there. You can basially wear what ever you want except for really short skirts, spaghetti straps, tank tops, and gangster stuff.
The really weird rule they have though is no hugging. Not even your friends =/
We do it anyways.
