Students often face disciplinary action for being scantily clad in class.
But one male Bay Area student was sent to the principal’s office for showing up to Riverview High School in high heels, reports My Fox Tampa Bay.
“He likes the way they make him feel. They make him feel more confident, and he just likes to wear them,” said Hayley Stepp, who said she’s a friend of the unidentified male student.
A teacher notified the school principal and said that the boy’s high heels were distracting to the classroom. Principal Bob Heilmann reports there was name calling, so he instructed the young man to remove the shoes.
“As a principal of a high school, I have to take the paternal side as well, I have to make sure he’s going to be okay,” Heilmann told Fox, adding he was worried the student would be subjected to bullying. “Anytime anyone goes out from, quote, ‘the norm,’ or anytime anyone wants to make a statement, you have to be willing to take what comes with it.”
Fox spoke with lots of Riverview High School students, many of whom said they viewed the environment there as open and accepting.
“I think it wasn’t really that big of a deal. If he wants to do it, then he can do it,” said sophomore Sarah Strawn.
But not all classmates were supportive of the unnamed teenager’s choice.
“I don’t think guys should wear heels. Personally, that’s my opinion,” said junior Kjai Betts.
Some students organized a small protest to recognize what had happened to the guy in heels.
“One boy wore a dress on Monday and after we chatted about it, he decided not to,” Heilmann said, adding that the student caved and changed his clothes. “I was concerned about his safety.”

High School can be so cruel.
So the only thing he had on was high hills???? Maybe looking for that crazy check.
My guess is a teacher is telling him he’ll get all A’s if... this and that. A bullying scene would result in a bonus.
if you call attention to yourself, don’t be surprised if you get someone’s attention.
Sometimes kids get bullied for a reason.
Not saying it’s RIGHT, just saying if you wear meat-pants while surfing, don’t be surprised when you get bitten in half....
Let him try that at a McDonald’s!
Were they a chick’s high heels or were they ‘rocker’ type high heels? It makes a difference. If he wants to look like Motley Cru, fine. If he’s wearing Ruby red girl’s high heels, my non professional opinion is that he needs some help.
There was a time when people went to freak shows for a change from the monotonous normalcy of their daily lives. Now that we live in a freak show it would be nice to visit someplace normal.
What a SICKO!
There must be something in the water out there . . .
Some things deserve bullying.....
“Subdivisions”
“Subdivisions”
Many public High Schools not only determine if a kid is over weight these days but also tell him if they think he may be gay.
Maybe this kid is a victim of our public school system.
That’s probably why so many “gay” teens hang themselves these days (and the media blames it on conservatism). They were probably misdiagnosed by their teacher.
And sometimes it's exactly right. If we stopped protecting these little princesses from the consequences of their mental illness some of them would eventually realize that they need to change some things in their lives.
Dress like a fag, get called a fag. I see nothing wrong with that.
sorry, btu that was kinda funny...;-)
My momma talkin' to me tryin' to tell me how to live
But I don't listen to her 'cause my head is like a sieve
My daddy, he disowned me 'cause I wear my sister's clothes
He caught me in the bathroom with a pair of pantyhose
My basketball coach, he done kicked me off the team
For wearin' high-heel sneakers and actin' like a queen
The world's comin' to an end, I don't even care
As long as I can have a limo and my orange hair
And it don't bother me if people think I'm "funny"
'Cause I'm a big rock star and I'm makin' lots of money
money, money, money, money, money, money
Ahhh! Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha...
I'm so bloody rich! Ha ha ha ha
I own apartment buildings and shopping centers! Ha ha ha ha
And I only know three chords! Ha ha ha ha
