Shrinking Clothes: A Growing Problem

        The fashion in schools is always changing. One day, it's hoodies and sweat pants, the next day, it is short shorts and tank tops. High school is a place where people try to identify who they are to the rest of their peers. Sometimes, though, the fashion trend is a bit out of the ordinary. Teens often do not know when to stop in terms of privacy and decency which is why some clothes have to be outlawed in school.
School uniforms could make dress codes much easier
        Teens should have reasonable limits on their attire for a few reasons. One reason is that public decency is something that all of us should have, and revealing clothes can be a distraction for everybody in the classroom. Dress codes should be in place to stop this problem, and they are, but there is just one problem. Students don't listen. Because this ongoing issue, many schools across America have decided to put an en to all of it, and switch to uniforms. A polo shirt and nice slacks are way easier to deal with than tube tops and yoga pants.
        Even very relaxed school uniforms are a way better idea (in my opinion) than try to tell students what not to wear. The reason being, the latest fashion trend is always changing, and thus making it hard to tell the kids what not to wear because the list would have to be updated to fit the latest trend very often. If the list is outdated, then nobody will be wearing those clothes anyways.
        It is my belief that it would be simpler and more effective to have uniforms instead of a dress code. JROTC programs have uniforms that have to be worn on some days, and the students don't have a problem wearing them, so there shouldn't be a problem with uniforms for the whole school.
