"I'm 16. I can legally drive. But people are going to tell me (what's) appropriate for school?"

Yes, little missy, there's a reason your parents have to pay higher insurance premiums for your driving privileges and yes, people will tell you what to wear. Unfortunately, little missy's parents' haven't done their job so it's left up to the community to dictate her inappropriate clothing. I volunteer at school and let's just say my kids are deprived. Poor things have to wear their pants at their waists and I better not be able to see a dime in their back pocket. They will also wear bras and shirts that do not show more than what they were meant to cover up. Our middle school and lower grades have more appropriate dress codes and every few days during morning announcements they will instruct the teachers to send those not following the code to the office to spend the day there, in d-hall, or mommy can bring them appropriate wear. Of course in high school girls dress like sluts and the guys are constantly losing their pants. There's not a day that I don't see at least 3 pairs of baggies that don't fall around ankles and the guys simply don't care. One would think having that cute girl in History class see your skid marks would deter baggies but it doesn't. Mr. M has shaken his head over one girl for a couple years who insists on wearing super tight white pants with colorful panties. He wasn't surprised when she turned up pg. Another parent is still trying to put his eyes back in his head after going to a youth stock show and a girl about 14 was struting around with pants so low that hair was showing. Bottom line, it's not the times or the kids. It's not even the school that's at fault. It's the parents not taking responsibility. It's the parents who buy the clothes. It's the parents who let them walk out the door dressed like lord knows what. It's the parents who are responsible for their minor children. It's the parents' job to teach their children morals, values, and the difference in right from wrong.
