Dress code is a matter of responsibility

betsypaperNow it could just be my conservative upbringing talking here, but the violations of the seven B’s at North has gotten ridiculous.

In all honesty, it always has been.

 

And I’m not blaming the Administration in the least bit. Students should be able to take care of themselves.

 

The other day I was walking up the stairs behind a couple of girls when I saw a few things I would have lived better off without seeing.

 

I’m entirely befuddled; do they realize what they’re
wearing?

 

The sad thing is, they do.

 

In the halls I constantly see girls showing too much up top, too much down low and too much in between. I don’t want to see any of it.

 

Not only it is a violation of school policy, but in a sense it’s a violation to the girls themselves. Those who dress in such a vulgar way most definitely do not send others a positive message.

 

I know for a fact that I’m not the only one who thinks this way; it screams
desperate. It’s degrading. I have very little respect for the person who thinks
being so scantily dressed is in any way, shape or form appropriate for school
(or anywhere for that matter).

 

I’ve been told on numerous occasions that I sound like a grandma and I’m okay with that.

 

It’s not hard to pull up your shirt. It’s not hard to wear a
different pair of shorts. It’s not hard to pull your sleeves over your bra straps.

 

Seriously, please. I don’t want to see what your momma gave ya.

 

Modesty has always played an important role in my life and I understand that others don’t feel the same way about it as I do. However, rules are rules and they’re there for a reason.

 

If you wear more skin than clothes, you might want to freshen up on school
policy.
