As I walked down the corridor the other day, I admired the
year group photos on the wall dating back a good few years. Everyone looked so
smart, their ties were pushed right up to their necks and they all looked
almost the same. That’s when I thought ‘what are we actually wearing for
school?’ Now our ties are so short and people wear all sorts of coloured
hoodies, and that’s boys and girls, virtually no one is the same. Some of the girls
at my school tend to a go a little overboard with the make-up too and their
skirts are more thigh-skimming than knee length.
It made me wonder when we stopped looking smart for school.
If you look at photos from five years ago, people stuck to the uniform and
weren’t caked in make-up. I can remember being sent out a letter last year that
stated “the length of some pupil’s school skirts” were “causing concern”. Blaming the school would be unfair, after all
they did send out a letter. I can’t believe their parents let them leave the
house looking the way they do! If I was that orange my mum would leave me in a
bath to soak for about a week. In the photos on Facebook of these girls out
partying at the weekend their make-up is identical, down to the last fake
eyelash and hair extension. I guess it’s only a matter of time before they’re
wearing the same thing too.
I much prefer looking completely different in my out of
school hours compared to what I consider appropriate as my uniform. Trying so
hard to rebel, I guess they’ll all look the same, creating their own chavtastic
brand of ‘uniform’.
