DarkKing123 All these kids whining about wearing an uniform really need to realize that there are more important things to be worrying about. Seriously, wearing a uniform won't turn your entire school into a model of Brave New World. You won't be a "mindless clone" nor will your creativity be completely hindered. ♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫

But there really isn't anything else more important to worry about.

Ideophobia I think that you are whining like a child. I would LOVE to have uniforms at my school - I think they are VERY nice looking. I have rarely seen a uniform I dont like. There is plenty of time for wearing other clothes outside of school, I am a teenager therefore I know. If you think it cuts of other people creativity, then fine. But I agree that if your creativity is limited to your school clothes then you are a very stilted person. Obviously no one can change your mind - thats the beauty of opinions. But it takes a better person to look for the good in things. You are being a worser person for your pessimism. ♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫

Well, barely anyone else thinks that way. If you like them so much, go buy clothes that looks similar to uniforms. That way you're happy, and everyone else is happy. Instead of saying that you'd want us to suffer.
The entire point of going to school is to be social. I don't want to hang out with my friends looking like a flashback from the 50's. I'm not being pessimistic, I'm just stating the truth. I'd be optimistic if I could find one good thing having to do with school uniforms.

Shawnael You can't think of any "pros" because you are so caught up in what you look like that you probably spend more time picking out your clothes than I do showering, getting dressed, eating breakfast, wait, are you still trying to decide what shirt you need to wear with those pants?, getting my schoolbooks together...
Uniforms may make everyone "look" the same, but why does it matter what you wear to school? ♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫
╔══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╗
I don't spend much time picking out my clothes, actually. I get up, shower, get dressed, do my hair, do my makeup, go to school. It takes me maybe five-ten minutes picking out my clothes. I care because I like looking good. Not looking crappy.
As I said before, the entire point of many people going to school is to hang out with friends and be social.

Swanky Valid xkarafsx i hate school uniforms the school issues them to try to make every one the same its like a school of robots ******** uniforms theres no individuality in that evil Eh, close enough
Individuality should not only be expressed in your clothes. Perhaps you could wear some accessories. Maybe take an art class. Maybe not spouting the same bullshit that everyone does about uniforms turning people into robots.
Because I'll never be a terrorist ♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫

Oh, wow. Art class must be so much fun. rolleyes And there is no possible accessory that could look halfway decent compared to the hideous uniforms.

Pinapple_Gummies Personally I wish I had school uniforms. I mean sure everyone looks the same but that's where accessories come into the mix. If you have school uniforms it gives everyone a chance to stop judging people based on how they dress. It keeps you from worrying about what you're going to wear and you don't have worry. ♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫
╔══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╗
But a lot of people don't worry at all. Infact, some people enjoy picking out outfits. Why deprive them of that? And if they don't judge them on how they dress, people will find other ways to judge them and we'll be right back where we started.

Sir F. Nietzsche Most people seek to change others' views. You're looking for an actual outcome, though.
Personally, I feel there are a great many things I can change. ♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫
╔══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╗
No, I'm not looking for an actual outcome. I'm looking to somehow change people's insane views on this.
I'm hoping that wont really happen. We'll be walking around like zombies with ten instead of six hours a day of school by the time you're through with us.

I never said that you were.
The entire point of this forum is a debate. Why does anyone bother posting, according to you? Nobody here can really change anything that they post about. So, according to your logic, they shouldn't bother posting at all.

vi. But there are so many people who don't want to express themselves in any other was. Uniforms can't force them to do that. All its going to do is make them dread school even more than normally. If I hate painting now, and I get a uniform, I won't suddenly like painting.
