Most girls walk around thinking that every single guy is going to like them because they look so hot with their tiny skirts.  I understand where they are coming from because they want to catch a guy’s attention.  However, sometimes guys can be cruel and make fun of a girl because she shows too much all the time.  They might think that the girl is easy and that she isn’t worth their time.

I think it’s funny how girls don’t want perverted old men to look at them when they are hardly even wearing any clothes.  If they don’t want this happening, they should just watch what they wear.  I’m not saying that girls should dress up as nuns but just cover up a little more.

After all, girls shouldn’t have to expose their body like that in order to get guys to like them.  What matters is what’s inside, not outside.  And looks don’t last forever.  Everyone should know that.

Every Monday through Friday, I am forced to roll out of bed before the sun rises, get dressed, brush my teeth, paint makeup onto my face, and try to reason with my hair.  Sound familiar?  This is a proverbial routine for most teenagers, as school is the commanding factor in daily life.  To add even more fluency into the mix, I wear a school uniform.  Every day, I button a blue plaid skirt around my waist, wiggle my fingers into the sleeves of a buttoned sleeved oxford shirt, and dress my feet in black shoes.

There are many arguments for and against school uniforms.  Some say that uniforms aid students in avoiding distractions in school. Others argue that they strip a student of individuality.  It is certain that uniforms take away most distractions.  For example, uniforms are not comfortable.  Tights itch, girls have to be constantly aware of their skirts, shirts must be tucked in, and hair must be neatly polished. There is no room for laziness.  It helps us to sit up straight and stay alert in school, rather than being lulled to sleep by the comfort of a t-shirt and jeans.  Also, trying to pick out an outfit to wear in the morning is absolutely tedious sometimes, and school uniforms eliminate that frustration.

Many believe that students lose the liberation and expression of individuality when being forced to wear a uniform.  On the contrary, a student’s personality can shine brighter when she isn’t wearing the façade of clothing.  People often try to define themselves by the clothes they wear. Clothes are indeed an expression of personality.

However, true identity is found more deeply in how one acts, not what one wears. For example, when I’m at home, I wear comfortable pajamas. When I’m out with friends, I’ll swap those for leggings, a mini dress, lots of rings, and high heels.  In this process, who I am underneath my clothes doesn’t change.  Wearing a school uniform gives more opportunity to express yourself, because when people see you, they just see you, not the clothes you are hiding behind.  You are forced to express yourself beyond means of superficiality.

Of course, there are days that I wish I could strut into school wearing a new outfit.  Other days I want to roll out of bed and sneak into school wearing just my pajamas.   In the end, I know that my knife pleated skirt and white oxford shirt are to my benefit, and I carry much pride in being able to represent my school in excellence.

This has brought some questionable fads.  I’ve seen quite a few girls in school, the mall, and at the movies wearing Uggs with shorts–thank goodness there is not a guy equivalent to that.   Why do Uggs make girls think they can combine two seasons of clothes into one outfit?

For guys, it’s tough enough trying to talk to a girl and get noticed.  Should we start wearing winter coats and flip-flops or winter boots and a tank top to fit in?

In our minds, we’re thinking is it warm or cold out?  Make up your mind and choose your outfit that way.  Maybe turn on the news or your computer before leaving for school and check the weather.  That way, you’ll know if you should wear a summer or winter outfit.  If it’s warm wear your shorts with flip-flops and if its cold wear your Uggs and jeans. Quit mixing seasons because you’re throwing guys off and we need all the help we can get.

Isn’t the point of wearing Uggs to keep you warm?  So if you’re wearing shorts, keeping warm is clearly not your main priority.  And ladies, us guys are pretty literal thinkers.  We are already scared enough to come and talk to you.  Then you throw us for a loop by dressing for summer and wearing shoes for snow.  Maybe that’s why boys go up to girls and jumble their words or don’t even go and talk to them.  What are we supposed to say “Wow it’s really cold today..I mean warm…Cold!…Warm!?!”  Ugh, please help us out!

I wanted to figure out if other boys even like Uggs, so I decided to ask a few and here’s what I heard—

“Uggs put the ug in ugly!”— Pat

“They aren’t so bad.”— Joe

“They are over priced, and they just kill a lot of animals. I think they are kind of dumb.”— Mike

“I think they are over worn.”— Daniel

“I don’t know why girls wear them.”— Mark
