Dear Amy: I have never seen a boy get dress coded for wearing so called “inappropriate clothing.”
I finally started to become confident, but something that happened a couple of days ago struck me down.I got dress-coded by my teacher because I wore a shirt that had cut-outs on the shoulders.
When I got dress-coded it made me feel like I went to school in the morning to attract boys, and for girls to think I’m hot or something.To protest against this, I want to write a letter to the principal. Dress codes are designed for a very good reason. The overall intention from a group of adults is to design a way for children to be less distracted by their wardrobes so they can focus on their education.
You are correct that these rules are often enforced on girls more than boys, and that sometimes kids who wear their hair in twists or braids are also unfairly “coded.”Yes, I agree that you should write a letter to the principal, expressing your thoughts and bringing up the good points you’ve raised.Dear Amy: You published my question signed, “Looking For Love.”My question seems to have generated a number of responses and considerable speculation about my situation.
