    Teens and kids should wear school uniforms

    While school is most definitely for learning, it is also about finding out more about yourself and who you are as a person. Being able to choose the clothes you wear is important in the process of maintaining individuality. I do not believe that individuality creates a disruption in the classroom unless it is either very suggestive or inappropriate. Something as simple as being able to choose the color of your shirt is important in finding one's self. Also, you make the point of whatever you are wearing takes the focus off education, but rather, I believe it can enhance it. According to research done on the subject, there is no effect on academics, substance abuse, or absent days, when students are required to wear a uniform. Students tire easily of repetition, and it is necessary to create diversity in their schooling in order to keep them interested and to be ready to learn. For your next point, students will get bullied regardless of what they wear. Bullying can happen even in uniform based schools.

For example, uniforms can often cost a substantial amount of money, and if the parents don't have the income to provide the same quality of uniform as everyone else, they may get bullied. Bullying will happen regardless of what they wear, and very rarely is bullying focused solely on clothing. Sources: https://faculty.unlv.edu...(1998).pdf
