then off to school, and then putting up with hours of homework, shouldn’t there be more comfort? I personally think that we should dress how we want to, even if it means having a hat on or a hood on. When you walk into school with a hat on, the first thing you’ll hear is,“ hats off or no hats in school”. Whenever I hear this, there isn’t really an explanation, that’s where I question myself.

First of all, 66% of students said “I don't feel like I can express myself and be me while wearing a school uniform”, according to www.greatkids…

embracing the person that they were born to be. Furthermore, what’s more “natural” than a nude figure? Individuals were born naked, so how can public display of one’s body be an immoral action? I believe that it is common for people to associate nudity and sexuality, when they should not be referred to as two interchangeable words. “Prudes,” extreme social conservatives, believe that by promoting a sexually repressive society, fewer unplanned pregnancies and sexually transmitted diseases will occur.
