Do you think youngsters should have a school uniform? Why (not)?
I personally am glad that we don't have to wear a uniform at my school. I think the attention and concentration of teenagers increases when they don't have to be in a colourless environment. It also gives them the opportunity to create their own style. What do you think?

trust me, i had to do it and it saved me money b/c clothes in his spare time are not as expensive as buying school clothes, not to mention i have to buy him both anyway so he doesnt mess up his school clothes at home. the uniform clothes u can find cheap anywhere at walmart, target, mervyns. they even go on sale during the summer time, just stock up for the next yr.

I'm am very happy that I never had to wear a uniform in my school years. I think that it takes away from a child's self confidence. On the other hand, it may help some children who do not fit in because of their style.
Personally, I think that uniforms take away the chance for someone to create their own personal style. I think that this is one of the first steps to creating the person you will be in the future.
Overall, I think uniforms are a bad idea, but I can see that they have both up sides and downfalls.

Yeah, like what you said, me too, I personally want no uniforms. It gives us the opportunity to create our own style. And school uniforms can get so uncomfortable. People designed them for students but not all students are comfortable wearing school uniforms so I guess it's just better to wear our own clothes.
