My school has uniforms AND a dress code. How can I protest the new, strict rules?

I go to a private school and I am required to wear uniforms. What makes this worse is that we also have a dress code. We have to wear certain color belts and socks. Next year, they are making the rules much more strict. Even our shoes have to be certain colors and now we have to wear special clothes on chapel days (it is a private Christian school). I'm quite upset about this. I doubt I will even be able to remember to wear special clothes everytime we have chapel, and the other rules in my opinion take the dress code too far. Teenagers need to be able to have some sort of individuality in their appearance at school, even if they wear uniforms.





I would like to find some way to protest this. I think a petition would be one possible ideas, but I need others. Can anyone give me some advice on what to do?





I am sure some of you disagree with me and believe what my school is doing is a good idea. I respect that, but I don't need a lecture. Try to see this from my point of view.

Reply:Definetly get other students and parents involved. They want to make it so kids arent trying to compete about what they are wearing but that gives you no way to express yourself.





If you started by saying you want to choose your own shoes, socks and given a choice of a few pants, shorts, skirts in a couple different colors, it would be easier than protesting the uniform overall.


Be decisive and have a plan if you intend on leading this rally.
Reply:See if other students share your opinion, and than start a petition. Try to get some teachers and parents involved too.
Reply:it wont be that bad, you just need to get use to it. In Mexico, kids are to wear uniform since they are in primary school, even the are demanded to use a certain color of shoes.


See, the way kids dress nowadays it has made so many school officials to go to drastic measures, and take control on the way some kids are dressing. I have seen girls wear miniskirts so small that they are almost showing their underwear come on thats is just asking for trouble. If I was a principal to a school, I would also do the same by having a dress code and uniform.


I know teenagers need some sort of individuality but see, not all kids can have the same brand of clothes. I think everyone should be put at the same label by wearing the same kind of clothing, color etc.
Reply:back in the 70's i went to a private christian school also, i had a sheet of paper taped on the inside of my closet to remind me of chapel days and what i was allowed to wear and not to, we did not have uniforms but i wish we did , my family did not have the extra money for nice cloths and i wore mostly hand me downs and most were well worn items. i think the school is doing you a favor, but iam sure if the student body would approach the school board maybe one Monday a month a uniform free day (with some rules, leight of skirts not too short ect be fair no punk stuff ) or if a person "earned points" to go uniform free day. talk to your student president and see what they say with this idea.
