Children Should Wear Uniform Dress Codes

Improved Essays
I believe that everyone should be treated equally, but that doesn't always happen. Every year kids age 10-14 decided to go to the final stage from being bullied. Over 4,400 kids die a year from this, either by what they wear, physically being harmed, or what group in society they are labeled in. A lot of kids don't feel confident in what they wear because they are always judged, so I think that schools should make every child follow a uniform dress code, or uniforms.

Religion is a huge part of what makes us, us. In school a 12 year old girl participating at a public school was bullied because of what she was wearing a hijab , something make makes her feel herself, they were calling her names such as ISIS and some threatening her with

    Administration such as Senator Stephenson must immediately send innocent children to the office for this ridiculous blue-coated “Dress-code Violation” attire and pressing suspension to those who wish not to humiliate and embarrass themselves throughout the school day. I say it is downright deliberate intent to embarrass every student in every way possible by their operation of throwing the “Blue Suit” upon us. But certainly, from here on out, Westlake High School Dress-code shall no longer be enforced. We, students of Westlake High School now consider ourselves free to wear as we wish.

    Ever since we started school we’ve had to deal with dress code. However, schools have different rules such as whether you have to wear uniforms or how short your skirts can be. My elementary school required us to wear uniforms and as the years went on the dress code got progressively stricter. When I moved on to high school it wasn’t much better. They would constantly send people to the office to get a change of clothes, but by doing this they also removed students from their classes, making them fall behind.…

    Did you know that there are many students getting killed by other students that profess to be in a gang? Well, I believe that many students should wear what they want to wear, but not anything that is short or something that represents anything that is harmful. In the text it reads, “They say dress codes and uniforms are obstacles to individuality. For these students, freedom of expression is more important than following rules.” First, there is nothing wrong with having dress codes.…

    At least 58% of schools in the United States enforce a strict dress code. School dress codes and uniforms in private and public schools can be both helpful and harmful to students in relation to their learning and social skills. Implementing school dress codes has shown to increase concentration in the classroom due to the lack of extreme clothing or hair styles, less peer pressure since everyone has to wear the same clothes, and an increase in school safety. According to Don Woodard, a high school principal in Johnston county, The students’ “demeanor is better and there are fewer distractions because of teasing, or students being uncomfortable because of the apparel that others are wearing.” But they also say it's unconstitutional because schools are taking away students freedom of expression.…
