Well, I've studied at a public school without any form of dress code, a private school with a dress code, and another private school with a full-blown uniform. I honestly don't mind the dress code, even though it is strict, and most clothes that administrators would like us to wear are uncomfortable. There are however, MANY ways to work around the strict parameters of the code, and express ones self. Sometimes its just a matter of how creative one is =] A uniform wouldn't be absolutely devastating, as it takes away some of that difficult decision making early in morning, though sometimes its that 'decision making' that keeps us sane, and allows us to be who we are. All in all, I just want to be comfortable. Thats all. Sometimes I just want to wear a comfy pair of sneakers! Fashion this, fashion that, its all good, and can be fun, but above all is comfort (for me, anyway).

Oh, and also, PLEASEEE don't make false generalizations about people my age, we're not all that bad, and I don't see the need to talk about "the problem with our youth these days", as its really hurtful to glob us all together as trouble-making brats.

Thanks for hearing me out, and take care.
