Too much skin showing at school?

we should only make new rules only and i mean ONLY when the old ones have failed. New rules are not always the answer.

Three of the most useless things in the world: boobs on a dyke, balls on a fag, and the opinion of a teenager.

My 13-year-old son mentioned this morning that there's a Canadian boy in his class who says Americans are just a bunch of war-mongering idiots.

I said someone ought to kick the mouthy little sh*t's sorry #ss all the way back to Canada.

Then again, I'm willing to bet the kid's opinion originated with his parents.

I'm five-ten, but I have a smaller frame than I appear to. When I'm an honest 10, which is about 135 for me (so maybe 15 or 20 pounds to go), the designers I like think I'm an 8, and that works just fine.

[cryptical]

I like a little junk in the trunk on a woman.

LA face with the Oakland booty?

All public funds have strings attached. I don't think school kids have the right, or should have the right, to unencumbered "free speech." Or dress. Or behavior. However, I understand your point that they are demanding (and getting some ACLU back up) for "rights."

She turned 13 two weeks ago. I love her more than life just as she is, but I will always miss that little 4 - 9 year old bundle of sweetness.

Same here. When they were young you were the most intelligent being on earth, but when they hit double digits it's amazing you can even breath correctly. I'm told in a couple decades it'll get better for a few weeks before they put you in a nursing home.

Their rights are somewhat limited in school, true.

LOL. I've never heard that before, but it's about right.

If parents can't control what their kids wear, Schroeder said, school administrators or the board must step in and make sure teens are dressed appropriately

I'm sure in some, but not all, cases, the kids' dress when they left home was fine. Somewhere between home and the classroom, overshirts can be removed, or skimpy shirts can be put on instead of one that provided more coverage.

Unfortunately, in some cases, Mama just wants her little darlin to be 'cool', so she buys whatever the chick asks for. Explains the huge sales of places like Abercrombie and Fitch.

Cavender's (or most western-wear stores) carry jeans that have high waists. Cruel Girl and Rocky are two brands with long-rise jeans.

[SuziQ]

The girls wearing those low-riders expose more butt-crack than my plumber.

America's new CRACK problem. ;o)

[Modernman]

Leather is tough for most people to wear, especially leather pants on men. Only guys built like Jim Morrison can really pull off the look.

[pollywog]

I agree with you. I am appauled at the attire in our jr high school and high schools.

[Modernman]

My wife went to Catlic skool too....so did Jenny McCarthy...

The Catholic Schoolgirl look is one of my favorites. I'm like Pavlov's dog, I see the plaid and I salivate :-)

[fso301]

I still haven't seen enough pictures of scantily clad highschool girls to convince me there's a problem.

[Little Pig]

Man, my wife freaks when she has problems fitting into a 2. I keep trying to educate her about this, but for some reason she doesn't listen.

It's increasingly difficult for my conservative 16-year-old daughter to find clothes that are not revealing. I've gone with her; it blows my mind what the stores put on the racks for teenage girls.

Check out Lands End and Eddie Bauer. These clothes may seem expensive at first, but they wear like IRON!

Lands End has overstocks and Eddie Bauer has an Outlet store online and they have good prices. They are nice basic clothes for women, and teenage girls can certainly wear those sizes. They are just about the only places I get clothes for our 16 yr. old daughter because SHE can't stand the slut-puppy look marketed for teens these days!

Check out Lands End and Eddie Bauer.

Sure, if you want her to look like a mountain lesbian.

So which is worse? no contest really...
