Yes but the school set the rules. I don't understand why it's a rule in the first place, like it looks a bit tacky imo so that's why I personally wouldn't have it done on myself but that's no reason to enforce what other people can do.

Individual freedom

when i was at school i got pulled out of my lessons on many occasions due to having ear piercings up my ears. it was ridiculous to make me miss out lessons because of some tiny things in my ears that you couldn't even see when my hair was down.

It's not a hairdo to have for school but if you can't have silly hair when you're a teen when can you? :/

Nothing'll ever top this one

I'm with Kirk on the uniform bit being there to make children more equal in their clothing. I went to a private grammar school (on a scholarship) and my biggest dread of the year was non uniform day., so much do that I would often not attend that day. Being very aware of the lack of designer labels in my wardrobe against the other girls was, for a teenage girl, the ultimate embarrassment. I also got in trouble for piercings which I had to cover with plasters...all annoying but it was very much one rule for all thankfully. I'm not sure about hairstyles though....I was ginger so always stood out in a crowd anyway

Yeah my daughter always says she's glad they have a uniform so she doesn't have to stress out about what to wear every morning

It's true though when you think about it.

At that age especially because it's such an ordeal deciding on clothes I wouldn't fancy wearing a uniform at my age though

Conformists will love it naturally, using earrings and hair as a tool for self expression has been attempted by teens in every generation it's nothing new... doesn't mean you're a chav or thick.

Today... not "someone's little angel" but a non-conformist all about rebellion.

Massive opinion swing between two very similar threads there.

Am I on trial here?....


I have said that neither style was suitable for school have I not?

I stand by the fact they are teens who can be rebellious or 'nonconformist' comments that suggest they are 'thick' chavs' or 'stupid' are rude and unnecessary.

It is ironic that when this girl chose to sport this ridiculous hairstyle in a desire to be 'non-conformist', she actually 'conformed' to most peoples' concept of what constitutes a 'chav' and someone who is 'stupid'.

On trial? You're touchy today.

It's just that but Cherie disagreed with that story and you disagreed with this one. So... I wondered if you'd like to clarify. Obviously not.

...still not going well for her...I can't copy and paste atm so I'll just have to post the link for now...

You say conformist I say self concious teenager

[Livia]

Her mother should be more concerned about her education than her stupid hairdo. If it's a school rule not to have outrageous hair - and it is pretty outrageous for a 13 year old child - presumably both the child and her mother are too stupid to understand the rules. Or maybe they're on some kind of crusade which is going to take up time meant for studying. Hopefully she can sort herself out, on with her education and get a job at the end of it and not end up a non-conformist "individual" living off the taxpayer... most of whom confirm to employers' rules and save their individualism for their own time.

[Kizzy]

Is that not the goal of conformists and nonconformists alike that they will succeed?
What is the point of these stories I wonder, are they to discourage any form of rebellion by routinely humiliating those who don't toe the line?

I agree Arista - totally imbecilic.

[Now the mum is refusing to change her daughter's hairstyle.
Mcdowell, from Sheffield, South Yorkshire, said: "As far as I'm concerned
it's a breach of my daughter's human rights. She had the hair cut
about a week before she went back to school.
"No one has the right to tell someone what
to do with their body. It is her body."]


No Mother
you are breaking clear rules

Bollocks to Human Rights
