    First, if students have to wear the same thing as...

    High school students should wear uniforms.

    I am arguing that students should not be forced to wear uniforms in school. First, if students have to wear the same thing as everyone else, then there is no way to express your personality. Your clothes are a way to show who you are to others. Next, this would be another thing to buy. People will say that you will not have to buy as many outfits, but although you do not wear these clothes to school, you still need clothes to wear around town and at home. You buy clothes as it is, so why not get more use out them before you outgrow them. You will never wear your uniform after you're done with school, so why not pay for clothes that you can re wear over sand over again. Also, some people may feel restricted and uncomfortable in these outfits that they are forced into. Everyone has a different body shape and type. Why should we force everyone to look and dress the same? Some people also say that clothes can distract students from learning, but if they are uncomfortable in the uniforms, they will not learn. We should allow student to dress in clothes that they are comfortable in. Lastly, I believe that it can draw away from school spirit. If you have to wear uniforms, you cannot wear a specific outfit with your sports team. You do not have the option to show team spirit when you are forced to wear the same outfit as everyone else. I believe that there are some pros to having uniforms, but the cons outweigh them. Your clothing is a way to express yourself and is a freedom that should not be taken away from you.

    School Uniforms

    Most schools accept the students to choose between a couple different options on colors for the polo, pants, and skirts. Along with this students have a series of sweatshirts they can wear and other apparel so with the uniforms the students still have some freedom on what they can wear. At the same time there can not be alot of different options as that makes the uniform system broken.

    Uniforms in school

    In my uniform, I have a tie and it is never a problem. My classmates don't think does either. If you buy things from cheap stores with gently used clothes, you could get picked on for that reason too. People will be like "Oh you have cheap clothes cause you can't afford it" sort of thing. So I think that one of the main reasons why If you buy things from cheap stores with gently used clothes, you could get picked on for that reason too.

    schools should not have school uniforms

    I affirm that school uniforms 1) Help students resist peer pressure - freeing them to develop deeper scoical skills. 2) Reduce economic and other social divisions between students from different backgrounds. 3) Help security in identification of students and reduce gang issues.

    School Uniforms are not needed

    Con is supposed to be against the idea of not wearing uniforms, per the debate topic. He is currently against the idea of wearing uniforms. Therefore, he concedes entirely, and I win this debate. #noobsnipe Should Con actually argue for his side, I will post a legitimate argument.
