No Dress Code at School

Have you  ever went to school and the teachers are telling you what you can wear and what you cannot wear? Well, its time for that to stop, teens should be able to express there self freely through dress. Teens should be able to wear what makes them feel comfortable at school. Its an opportunity to see kids be there self.

In the real world there is no dress code. Some people believe that showing to much skin makes a girl look “slutty” for example, my cousin NENE is in her twenties and she chooses to wear short and tight dresses when she goes out and tank tops that shows her back when she is just hanging out with friends. But when most girls wear revealing clothes it makes them feel good. They have pride and not afraid of showing off there body's. When people give them there opinion and tell them they look slutty, then that can damage them and give them an insecurity that would take forever to get rid of. Also, it can lower there self esteem..

It gives teens a freedom to express there self. Most teens are mature enough to pick out there own clothes and see what they want to wear. It makes them feel more confident because people can actually see there personality. For example, if they have a happy personality they are going to wear something that makes them feel proud. When you see teens wear something it can depend on what mood they are in.

There past can affect the way they dress. Some teens have been through a lot. I know that here at SPA we are all foster kids and have all been through something hard in life.  Some teens dress the way they do because they never really had the chance to tell anyone how they truly feel on the inside. A lot of teens hold on to there past or those things that are bothering them. So they dress for that certain reason. I know a lot of teens have there own way of dressing so they can be unique and stand out from everyone else.

So in conclusion, every teen has the right to express them self freely. if they need to express them self freely let it be through dress. Every teen has there own style that makes them not blend in but stand out. Teens have there way to show there emotion, some teens will do that through dress. So therefor, I feel that there should be no dress code at schools.

No dress code

Have you ever went to school and the teacher's are telling you what to wear and what not to wear?
Here at San Pasqual Academy and most other High schools we have dress codes. A couple of the rules are we cannot wear a tank top, shirts that show our stomach, sandals, or even slippers. I believe all schools should be able to wear what they want because it gives teens freedom to express themselves.  At San Pasqual were I live we are all foster kids and we dont really want to talk about our feelings to others , But the way we dress is the way we express ourselves and show our sense of style. Thier are many different styles for example goth, girly, tom boyish, idgaf, rachid , And all of these styles allow you to dress differently. Also the way some teens dress, it expresses what mood they are in. I know that some people who disagree might say that some teens or foster kids dress inappropriate by wearing tank tops or sagging pants but if you think about it they might dress that way because it has to do with there past or the way they where raised. Some foster kids have been through alot and maybe never really got the chance to tell someone how they really feel, but through a freedom of dress they can show how they feel and show there emotions. So I feel with a FAT PASSION with no dress code students will have more pride and feel more free because they have a right to express there style.
