Ya'll wil never believe.

Ok my school has UNIFORMS! UGH! A public school. It sucks. And it's soo strick we can't wear hoodies. But this is Louisiana. The clothes people wear hang off there butts and girls wear something were there boobs hang out. But I mean who thinks that something should be done or do you think that it's fair?

and what does this have to do with us reading stuff like this? Some schools have uniforms, they all have different ways of how they want their students to dress. So get use to it.

i agree

i have to wear uniforms at my school, and i don't mind, then again im not that into fashion or w/e...
if it's that big of a deal switch schools lol

My school has a uniform. =/

I don't mind having a uniform at our school, but the teachers are a bit lax about it all so its alright...and in the end it does benifit the students...if you are really concerned about it get all students together confront your teachers and principle and discuss the alterations that you would like....if you are really lucky who knows you may have a say in next years uniform.

Get over yourself, Southern Charm. It's just a school uniform and anyone who thinks wearing hoodies being against uniform policy is unfair is just pathetic. Why should you wear them anyway- how on earth would you be representing your school? Unless of course you want to give an odd impression, go for it. But I would think hoodies are a tad bit inappropriate and you’re school has evidently made the correct choice of simply banning them.

^ Banning hoodies? What the hell is a bloody hoody going to do?

How about instead of dishing out the couple thousand for uniforms they buy metal detectors so the young, sweet teenagers don't murder each other?

If your biggest problem is a uniform then god bless america.

there is less for people to make fun of other people for

"haha you're in a uniform"
"so are you"
"oh... well then... uhh... hows it going?"

bring people to one level is a way to get rid of certain types of bullying you no

i just finished high school and we had a uniform.. sure we got shit from the other schools in the area due to our metallic gold ties, but at the end of the day uniforms are a lot easier, they identify the student to their school, and no matter how much people piss and moan about the costs it really is cheaper to spend about $200 on a uniform that you can wear for a couple of years rather than new clothes for each season. plus if you need to rely on clothing to feel like an individual it really doesnt say much for your personality does it?

Same here, I go to a public school and this is my first year wearing a uniform...like ususal it was something for me to complain about but after the third day of school I was over with...Yeah we cant wear hoodies and jeans and backless shoes anymore, but we can wear black jeans, khakis, gray and brown. Our tops all have to have a collar....and its really not a big deal. I do believe at my school they are blowing it way out of porportion though...
But not many kids are being made fun of because we are all looking a like, peoples clothes aren't being stolen, we don't have to stand in front of our closet for five minutes wondering what we're gunna wear......I dont mind it!

i think itd be cool to have uniforms. i mean if theyre not that strict. like girls- acertain skirt and shirt and tights or knee socks. i would find loopholes like.. wearing my skully knee socks. or black anbd grey argyle, or my skull tie. or blakc nad pick star one. iii would simply stay in restrictions but find loopholes. =]

and for all you who say that theres less things people can getmade fun of/bullied aobut- thats a load of crap. the people arent gonna just forget who wore what clothes and if they go to their house or what not. theyre still gonna notice those who dont shower or have crappy bookbags ro notebooks. seriously..

Oi all schools in Australia have Uniforms so don’t complain we have no choice

idc about uniforms...it's KOOL for me...mine's public..we wear uniforms...well....i mean any red white and black....it's fine.....i don't give a damn

i used to go to private skools...that was way more stricter!

there were no jewelry and girls wear skirts....with a blous and a ribbon!...can't wear rubber shoes...only black stylish shoes! it was kool tho...lmfao

Not to sound rude, but who cares...

I care more about

1) Putting food on the table for my children to eat
2) Paying the rent so my children have a home
3) Paying the bills so my children have lights
4) Making sure my car runs so I can take them and me back and forth to the dr.
5) Making sure there are warm clothes and coats so my family stays warm
6) Staying ayway from my ex so we will not be beat on again
7) Attending classes every day to ensure good grades for a good job

The list can go on and on. Basically uniforms are trivial once you realize what other responsibilities lay ahead.

I would not worry so much about uniforms and focus more on things that really matter. If uniforms are that big of an issue then

1. Talk to the staff and school board in you community
2. Go to college and seak a carrer where you can change or impact the decisions on school uniforms
3. Talk to your parents and peers... possibly hold a strike (although I would not do it)
4. Research and see why they are going to uniforms ... prove them wrong with the facts that you find

Sorry, but I have little sympathy when it comes to minor things.

Southern Charm... yes, I have the same problem. I'm going to be put in a school with a VERY boring uniform. I've been home-schooled all my life, so it is difficult to suddenly have to be put into a school, shoved into a uniform and try to get along with other kids.
Anyway, I detest uniforms, and the idea, because I believe in self-expression... but there are other things besides clothes, I guess. You still have your hair and maybe a few accessories to wear.

Althogh I cannot help, you have my sympathy :)

Thank you.
And єℓуѕιυм first of all it's a PUBLIC SOUTHERN SCHOOL! What's there to impress. It's a hick redneck dirty school THERE'S NOTHING TO IMPRESS! The uniforms are there because they want us to be "ordered" but you can't order a bunch of hicks! The rich people are stuck up, snobby, and bratty anyways uniforms or not. They havn't been helping. Uniforms here are VERY expensive. To buy a pair of pants cost at the most $80 and at the least $30. I can at least get THREE pairs of pants that will last me three days then buy that ONE pair that gest me through A day.
Our policy:
No hoodies
No corderoi or how ever you spell it
No emblems
No jean-like material
Shirts MUST be tucked in or you get ISI, detention or you can get suspended.
Skirt has to be 3 inches above the knee or lower.(same for shorts)
You can't wear spirit shirts anytime you want.
ONLY ON FRIDAYS.
Shirt MUST be a polo.
Undershirt must be, babyblue, white, or navyblue.

It goes on too. It's VERY rediculous. The teachers spend more time on telling us to tuck in our shirts and uniform check that we don't learn anything!
so tell me єℓуѕιυм ....should I be angry?
Or am I to need to "get over myself"?

I agree with Sherry Lynn.

All you are doing is making a big deal out of a minor thing. I dont think anyone really wants to hear you ramble on and on about how you have to wear 'uniforms' to school. Its part of the school policy. If you have that big of a f---- problem with it then go to ur damn principal. coming here and telling us aint dont worth crap.

Well this is a discussion board so you can post pretty much anything, aslong as it fits the standard....and i dont see anything saying that you cannot put a topic about getting school uniforms....if u dont like the topic then dont reply to it!

Umm.. by uniform do you mean "no corderoy, shirt must be such-and-such a color" or a uniform that is an actual outfit especially made for that school, complete with white blouse with emblem, skirt, blue socks and school shoes?
That's what I have to wear. And I freaking hate it.

//T.L.//

Oh my god! ALL OF YOU! CHILL!!!! She was simply saying she had a problem with it and you are telling her to get OVER herself? That is totally rude and I suggest you all get off your high horses and get over YOURSELVES. If you don't have any USEFUL advice, keep it to your self. Is it really that hard to comprehend? I think you need to retake Kindergarden if you haven't already learned the golden rule "Treat others as you would like to be treated"...and don't fool yourself. ALL of us have petty problems from day to day life. We may not post it on a bulletin, but you still get upset most likely over some silly stuff that others may not understand. And honestly, the whole uniform policy bugs me too!! It's CLOTHING. I spend my time on the weekends shopping because it gives me something to DO!! And I like buying cute clothing FOR school because God knows I never really leave the house over the weekends or after school!! A lot of clothing stores get the majority of their business from students who don't have to wear uniforms! That's just one economical perspective but mine is personally that I HATE feeling like a clone. I hate feeling like everyone else, I hate feeling like a dork in high knee socks, polished black shoes, a granny skirt and a button up blouse. I feel like all of my individuality has been stripped of me and with it goes my true personality. My humor, my sense of belonging, my personality, it all thrives from what I wear. I feel comfortable with myself if I'm wearing loose, soft clothing. I feel pretty and confident when I'm wearing something that may show the curves of my body a little bit! I LOVE it! And I would be highly disappointed as well if someone told me I couldn't wear what i wanted to anymore! And if you can't wear a hoodie, which I interpret that as a sweater basically, that's incredibly stupid!!! Because the schools I go to are ice cold year round and a skirt and short sleeved blouse are never going to keep me warm.

So just because you may be completely comfortable in uniforms, you have no idea how upsetting this could be to others. So honestly, take your own advice, deal with what you dish, and get over yourselves. I'm tired of people being so judgemental and harsh to other people and jumping to insult because it makes them look cool or something. Half of you in here probably didn't even read the complete first post! And you just wanted to sound cool by making fun of her and telling her to shut up and get over herself. Well, really. Some of you should start being a bit nicer, a bit more understanding, and a little less anti-sympthatic. It's become like some sort of trend on this site! Bash or be bashed! So many of you, at the first sign of a disagreeance, are already on the offense! And it's incredibly stupid! Sorry for changing the subject a tad, I'm just getting sick of reading about young people being horrifyingly rude and snappy at others. Have some RESPECT for goodness sake. You may not actually care, but if you really don't, then don't post!

Goodbye and Merry Christmas!

First of all Sick, I was pointing out what other issues take more priority in life.

I was not bashing anyone and at the end of my post I even made a few suggestions that she can look at.

I understand that some people are extremely upset and even offended about uniforms, but honestly there is more to life than uniforms that I must concern myself on a daily basis.

If you cannot understand that then that my dear is your problem.

All in all ... don't stress too much about the little things in life that you cannot control or change. Instead focus your energy on something that you can influence and make the most of what you have.

Very well said, Sherry.
Cheers to you.

xTheEcstasyOfSuicidex

No, I understand very well that you shouldn't sweat the small stuff. And I struggle with that everyday, trying to control things that I'll never be able to control. And sometimes, I know, you just have to go with the flow. I know what you SHOULD do, I know what's considered morally right to do in this situation, but knowing that in itself doesn't change that it may be difficult to accept. Especially if it's a new change! It's hard to adapt to. From wearing what you want one day then being alike to everyone else! I understand also that it might also cut back on stereotypes, but a lot of the lessons that i have learned in life, about not caring about what people think, those stereotypes helped teach me that! And if you take that away, some lessons might be taken away from others. Which is why I'm saying I do not like the uniform. Others may love it, sure. I don't mind. Go ahead and wear uniforms! I just know that I would have a hard time with it too. I wasn't degrading your post and I had no problem with what you were saying. I had a problem that ticked me off with the rude and disrespectful posts from others being cruel and uncaring for the sake of being cruel and uncaring!

I hate it when they force you to wear uniforms, but then don't even make those uniforms comfortable or practical.

And yes, I have to agree with that about looking like clones... schools are like that, that they enjoy keeping all their students on the same level. Like they want everyone to grow up to be the same person.

Take care babe

i would love to have uniforms at my highschool, you save ton of money, you don't have to wake up worrying about what you have to wear, people won't judge others on their clothing, it only has plusses.

but hoodies?
if it's not part of the uniform, why wouldn't it be banned?

Well the uniforms really havn't solve anything at my school. Everyone just gets even more pissed off and it's crazy. They don'tlisten anyways we'r etold to tuck in our shirts but no one does it. They're getting really bad at it. They're just completely out of it. And yes it lacks an idividuals to express who they are. That's how you mainly see a person, by there clothing. People don't feel like themselves because they feel like everyone else. That's not what society is all about. It's about being yourslef and feeling like yourslef and no one else.

Thank you sick and tired alot of these post were pretty offensive and rude to me. I appreciate what you said about it. People need to react a little caring. I wasn't trying to start anything, just ask what could be done.
