school uniforms Options

Should school uniforms be a definitely in schools?

yea. the cruelty of "she waers (name brand here). she must be (ignorant remark here)", which any intelegent person would disregard.

That's not the only situation with clothes, and you know it.

There are things like: "she wears black, she must be goth", "she's so preppy", "he's a nerd", "he's a 'poser".

And those are just a few examples. Clothes, unfortunately, is a popular tool of discrimination.

so that's really just adding a step to knowing she's a slut. really, i know that people arent' what they seem. i'm the best example ever of that! but people are always gunna make some judgement on appearence, it's just wrong to make your final judgement on it.

It is wrong to make a final judgement on it, but uniforms can prevent this 'step' from happening. People will look at you and not be able to tell if you're into rap/rock/classic; they won't know if you prefer the NBA or Golf; they won't know if you're a slut or a decent person. At least, they won't just 'know' from looking at what you wear.

Most adults will not make those assumptions, but kids are generally trapped in their social world where clothes, cars, and money are means to popularity.

theres a girl who goes to my school who looks like a whore. i didn't care. i got to know her, talked to her, found out she was a whore. it explained why she dressed like one. people usually don't dress misleadingly.

But that, once more, is not the only situation. There are people who dresses the way they want, and be hated/discriminate for it. Some are outcasted from their peers...
