You wake up one morning to a sunny and dazzling day. You know that the weather is beautiful, probably ninety degrees. You then are put in a brilliant mood. You get up happily and go to your closet to pick out something to wear. Your good mood modifies itself to a sour one in an instant, when you realize you can’t wear shorts, or the new muscle tee that you wanted to wear. Why should we have a dress code when all its does is inconvenience, ostracize and make people feel uncomfortable throughout…

Lately, I have been pondering on the harsh dress code rules. When did my shoulders become something I should be ashamed of showing? When did it become a secret that girls wear undergarments? Admonishing girls for letting their shoulders or bra straps show is the most ridiculous form of dress code. Dress coding this harshly can promote negative feelings about their bodies, when they already feel bad enough. Making “thumb width” tank-tops mandatory in order to maintain the focus of the male…

“You’re asking for it” Junior year picture day was coming up, and of course I wanted to get a great picture. I picked out my favorite plain, black strapless shirt. As soon as I get to school, I am called into the principal 's office. I had been dresscoded. The middle-aged man told me that I “was distracting to my fellow male classmates.” Despite the fact that my hair falls and covers way lower than my shoulders, my body was still too inappropriate, even though every human has shoulders of their…

Have you ever felt violated by school dress codes or seen others get discriminated by them? Being a girl myself, I’ve come to the realization that the dress code is specifically made to restrict females.
