I thought we went to school to learn the subject matter so that we may learn the skills necessary to become a productive member of our society. You want to express yourself? Great! Write an essay, paint a picture, build something, be an exceptional athlete, join a theatre group, chess club...whatever.
Preach Thorns...

What happens when these kids go to work in the future? Is their boss going to allow them to wear a bright red mohawk and "wiccan" (although I know of no wiccan association with makeup) makeup while at work? Hey, as soon as you're home from school...feel free to staple your pecker to your forhead and squawk like a chicken if that's what floats your boat.
Yup, agree, be as unique as you want to be there if it's not about putting on a show and grabbing for attention.

We have allowed our schools to be nothing more than a fashion show / AIMS testing factory. I'm for bringing uniforms into the schools and actually teaching kids how to learn....~Thorns
Am totally feeling you there...
Where I am, it's boys with pants almost off, and girls dressed like hookers... I'm all for that look if you know what to do with the attention once you get it, otherwise, tone it down until you can handle the consequences of your looks/actions.
I pray that no kid of mine ever expresses himself this way (at least not in his teens, and not while he needs to look for work outside of his own company); if he does, oh well, I've stayed away from psychotropic drugs long enough.
I'm All for being as wild as you want to be, when you are an adult and ready to deal with the consequences of your choices.. M
