Do you think schools should make students wear uniforms to school? Having to wear school uniforms is talked about more and more everyday. Many parents and students think that all schools should have to wear uniforms. Many people think it is more fair to have to wear uniforms, so everyone will be equal. Also so that other kids will no talk to them just because they may not wear designer clothes. School uniforms could be a good thing, but there would be many students that would be unhappy if they had to wear school uniforms. Being able to wear what you want is not only a way to show your style, but also express yourself. Kids should not, not talk to someone because they dont dress the same, but some people just do not mesh well together. Do you think schools should make students wear uniforms to school?

Being able to wear what you want is not only a way to show your style, but also express yourself. Kids should not, not talk to someone because they dont dress the same, but some people just do not mesh well together. The poeple who think that wearing school uniforms would be better, most likely think that too many kids are being judged for how they dress, and not their personalities. Some people re judged on the way they dress, but no one can change that. Some kids just dont get along well and making everyone wear uniforms will not be a solution to the problem. Some people just dont fit in. I do not mean that in a rude way but some people just do not get alonmg well, or just do not have anything in common. They may not fit in with a certain group of people. You can not just wear a certain style or type of clothes and just automatically fit in with a group of people that dress like that. It depends on your personlity and if you have things in common with them or not. If you do not have anything in common with a certain group of people then what will you ever talk about when your around them? Think about it, if there is people who you dress like but do not have anything in common with then what would you ever talk about around them. That is one reason why it would not be fair for everyone to have to wear school uniforms. I guess I understand were some kids are coming from when they say that they can not help the way tht they dress, but wearing school unifoms is not going to change that. They also need to think about it that way too. They need to know that school uniforms is not going to change that. Some kids can not afford a certain kind of clothes and they feel like thats why they are not popular, and that may be a part of it but other kids are not going to just not be friends with them by how they dress. People may judge you or say stuff about you because of what you may wear, but you should not want to be friends with those peopel anyways. You should always be friends, or try to be friends with the people who accept you for who you are not for the clothes you wear or the places you shop at. You need to put the people in your life who want to be in it and have liked you for you since the time they met you. You should be able to be yourself around your friends, all of them. You should not have to worry about if your acting a certain way, and you should never try to dress to impress them. Because if they are a true friend and like you for you, they wont care what you wear or what stores you shop at or if you wear desinger clothes or not. It should not matter, at all. I know that some kids do not like the clothes
