however, the fact remains, that it is something employers look at.. and unless you're a crazy, albeit self-made, billionaire, there's nothing wrong with looking presentable.
That being said, I do think school should be a place for you to experiment with stuff like that.
A fire hazard, you say? Sure, why not. Yet it seems pretty improbable. It´s as possible as breaking your neck because your hair got caught in the door, or something. I have long hair, but not once has it been in danger of catching fire. Sure, it´s possible, but so is getting hit by a bus. It´s dangerous to step outside everyday, but still we´re willing to take our chances. By the way, sorry if I sound a tad offensive.Wouldukindly said:
I understand and am very aware of that argument. Kids are a bunch of ruthless bastards who pick on anything even slightly different (personal observation.) Homogenizing them may help preventing bullying, but shouldn´t we allow those kids, with high enough self-esteem, to look whatever they like. If you don´t want to catch unwanted attention, go with the masses, otherwise appear as you please.EchetusXe said:
Yeah, I'm sure the schools that implement and enforce such a rule are responding to a problem rather than being preemptive. Its a cheap, though not perfect, solution to a growing problem.EchetusXe said:
The day I go to school in a tie, and the kind of shirt that looks decent in a tie, take them both off to go to gym (and sometimes get sweaty), and then put the tie back on for the rest of the day is the day I convert to Christianity.RAKtheUndead said:
Yea, it's official, my school is different than most. Where I live the bullying is because of how you act not what you wear. You think school shootings stem from clothes?Ghostshot08 said:
Discipline? Teens will be teens. I've known long and short haired varieties. Both groups had well behaved members, and not so well behaved members. I've gone to both extremes, myself. I've shaved and oiled my head shiny, and had hair down to just above my nipples.
School rules of the sort do nothing but stir up controversy and freedom of expression sentiments. They do more harm than good, I'd guess, but that's just my thought, not a researched opinion or provable anything.

My school used to have rules about how to wear your hair if it was longer than a certain length.
Like, if it was longer than shoulder length it had to be tied up in a ribbon.
Fortunately for me, a year before I started at the school they stopped this rule.
I would rather cut my hair than put it up in a ribbon.
So now I can wear my hair lose, I'm quite proud of it actually, it's down to my waist now.

I think the school dress codes are a bit ridiculous. Kids should be able to wear whatever they want so long as it is not vulgar or distracting. For example girls wearing skirts that could double as belts shouldn't be allowed cause lord knows I wouldn't have payed attention to anything. Also I understand like our senior shirts were banned at our school, they said, "Chicks dig AP-ness". AP= advanced placement classes, everyone in them bought one for a good laugh. A lot of people got sent home that day.
Also speaking from experience, kids should be able to do what they want with their hair. I had to keep mine short for JROTC all the time, I hated it. As soon as I graduated I didn't cut my hair for a year and a half. It looked pretty awful before I finally cut it. Had I been allowed to grow it out in high school I'm sure my peers would've voiced how awful it was. Basically I believe high school should be a time of experimentation so that you can start 'finding who you are' earlier.

Evidently, there's rules about how long your hair can be at school. At private schools where uniforms are manditory this may not be acceptable, but for public schools where they're a little more loose on dress codes (and even the ones that aren't), if you want to look like something out of a grunge band, go ahead and do it.
Under my regime YOU get an even closer cut with a razor. To the neck.RAKtheUndead said:
I am joking.
But anyway, on topic my school has rules against excessively short hair. a #2 cut would acctualy be against school rules which I think is rather unfair. Strangely but luckily for me there's no rules about long hair.
If you look like a scruff-ball, get a damn haircut. Nobody thinks it's "cool", and you are doing yourself a social disservice.
