Is it still considered 'cool' for high schoolers to wear diapers?

Yes.  I think Pampers is the "in" brandname these days.

Thank the Lord i'm not in high school anymore to be made to deal with people like you. I didn't think preps were mean, I thought they were shallow dopers. You're American Eagle and Hollister are going to be worn out in 3 years, so keep putting all of who you are in what you wear and you'll be with it. WORN OUT. Time is the best revenge and nerds will be your boss one day. I'm living proof. I love to hire the "preps". lol

Some people say that school uniform diminshes pupils' individuality. \n\nI disagree - this is just like saying that you <can> judge a book by its cover (or in this case, a person by the clothes they wear).

I think it's a good idea. That way, everyone at the school is on the same playing field...at least appearance-wise. Those students who are less fortunate and don't have much money to buy clothes or have a lot of clothes don't have to worry about what their going to wear. I think it helps self-esteem and allows them to concentrate more on schoolwork.

It's just a fad.  It will pass.  Then you can make fun of them at your reunion.  At my school, one of my friends started mixing the preppy look with the skater look.  Polo shirt, kaki pants, chain necklace, skater shoes, and a wallet with a chain on it attached to his belt loop.  He was a popular guy trying to make a fashion statement, so noone really bothered him about it.  So I came to school one day in kakis and polo shirt with skater shoes, and a log chain around my neck and a huge log chain on my wallet.  He and everone else looked at me and started laughing.  When He asked me what the hell I was doing, I told him I was just trying to fit in.  He relized how rediculas he looked, and changed back to the way he used to dress.

I would like to preface everything I say with that I am a twenty year old college student and I am a Christian.  With that said, it is not the thong itself that most parents worry about.  I think that most Christian parents are concerned that owning thongs will make you view yourself differently and that can be bad or good but they fear it will be bad.  For instance, if you tell any male at school or hanging out or such, they will react generally in a way that your parents do not want young men reacting to you and you probably shouldn't want young men to react that way either.  There is nothing wrong with wearing thongs especially if it is simply to get rid of panty lines.  I am sure your parents are more concerned that it will affect the health of your relationships with young men of your age.  Having recently been 15, things that seem small and insigificant can end up being a catlyst for bigger issues.  This is something that I am sure your parents understand and want to protect you from. Remember, as well, that you are called to follow your parents instruction unless it interferes with your relationship with Christ.  Feel free to discuss the issue with them though.  What you also don't realize at fifteen is that three years to become eighteen is a VERY short time period.  You sound blessed to have parents that obviously love you enough to be involved in your life and want you develop healthy relationships.

I think you should be proud to be at a school that allows things like that.  Dressing in rival colors?  That is a little immature for being in high school isn't it?  I would suggest if you don't like the school you are going to - simply transfer to another.\n\nPs.  Use spell check, your grammar is HORRIBLE for being in school.

Well each and every student will be appropriately dressed if you had an uniform policy...\n\nFor example,\nNo Belly shirts, male or female.\nNo low-rider pants male or female.\nNo Inappropriate T-shirts with Sayings on them male or female.\nNo Underwear showing with the lowrider pants male and female.\nNo open toed shoes.\nNo skirts shorter than 2 inches, above the knee.\nNo bra straps showing.\nNo tank tops, male or female.\n\n\nAll I can think of right now...\n\nBut I do agree public schools should institute some sort of uniform policy, the kids dressing is out of control.\n\nThere is plenty of time after school to express ones self as an individual through dress or whatever, School is for learning!!!

I believe they are good for schools. First off it is much easier to ensure the schools dress codes, because the school itself can pick the specific clothes. You don't have to worry as much about the short skirts or having any clothes affiliated to gangs or drugs. Secondly, it takes a lot of pressure off the students. They don't have to worry about "impressing" each other with the latest trends. Third, it is better for those families dealing with economic hardships. Usually there are programs to get those kids uniforms, if their parents cannot afford them and it also takes the pressure off those kids who might not be able to afford name brand clothes. Which can help prevent them from receiving any ridicule for that.

It depends this is a tricky one and something I was actually discussing the other day. I dont think that it is appropriate for kids to be wearing thongs, or bikkinis, or ten year olds running around naked in public.\n\nHowever, what if this child was brought up with parents who believe in nudism, whos parents attend specific places which are closed to outsiders like beaches, they are used to it they have been brought up with it and there is nothing leud at all going on its just going on with out clothes, then perhaps not.\n\nHowever since this is not usually the situation in general i would say no, its not.

Dress codes would be good for self esteem of some students.  It would remove the provocative dress styles inspired by MTV.

I believe in school uniforms.\n\nAdvantages:  Much faster to get prepared in the morning. Less judgments from others based on what kind of clothes you wear. That's an important one because, in my school, some people get teased a lot just because of the brands they buy... or don't buy. some students are wealthy so they can afford a lot, but a lot aren't and they can't. \n\nPeople might just get to know you for who you are and not base their judgement on what you wear. I find that great.\n\nDisadvantages: You lose your style and you can't express yourself through your clothes anymore. some people feel that they are expensive.

Dudes at school make it a big deal because it is weird.  But if you're cool with it who cares?  I wouldn't expect any compliments in the locker room though.  And if you do get one... watch out.
