    My opinion is that we don´t must use school uniforms because after a while you got bored of the clothes and it´s fun to have some cool clothes some times instead of the same clothes every day.

  2. I am actually a little unsure because I tink it`s good that you can not be bullied when everyone has the same clothes. But I also like to choose my own clothes.

  5. I think school uniforms are a good idea because then the children are all alike, and they will not be bullied by their clothes. But i`m also against school uniforms because children should decide on their own, what to wear.

    I really don't know what I mean because I agree with both sides. School uniforms stop bullying by clothes but you do not have your freedom to choose your clothes self.

  12. I am against school uniforms because I think clothes is a part of yourself. The clothes tell who you are to other people, and a first impression is very important I think. I am also against it because a lot of people exspress themselves through clothes and not through talking. Everybody should be allowed to wear what they want, and not to worry about special brand.

  14. School uniforms are awful, it was not the hardest job to find arguments against.
    Ok, imagine you come to your school-uniform school one day and looking for your best friend. Suddenly you see him, you dot him on his shoulder and he turns around. Oh no, that`s not my friend, it`s the biggest bullier on the school and he hit you in the face.
    These uniforms are so similar to each other.

  16. I think it's good because you don't feel the pressure to have the "right" clothes. But I also think it's bad because you can't express yourself through clothes.

  17. I don't think that school uniforms would be such a good idea, because the bullies will just find a new subject against the victim, which could possibly hurt even more.

  23. I against it because when you were clothes you show of who you are, and we should be wearing what we want, and it costs a lot. But I think it is a good Idea because then all people would be like, and no one can be bullied for their clothes and how they look.

    SvarSlett
  24. I don't think that school uniforms is a good idea, because you should choose what to wear. And after some time you will get bored of wearing the same clothes every day. And as Petter said, the bully/bullies will just find a new thing to bully them for.

  37. I am against the use of school uniforms, because I think that we should be able to be allowed to express who we are and what mood we are in through the clothes we have on us. I even like to choose if I want to wear my black or white sweater, or if I want to dress me or take a jog pants if I feel like it.I do not care for anyone to go with special branded clothes just because all others do.

  39. Wearing School Uniform is a must. For me it is great as long as your uniform supplier like Shirts United makes it a fashionable one.
