I think it's pathetic when parents don't allow their kids to dress in style and then come online complaining about how they have no friends or have been left out by their supposed friends, blah, blah.

If you dress your kid like an accountant, don't get shocked when they have no friends or social life.

These are also things I wish I could sometimes yell at my client's parents but can't. Nothing makes me angrier than getting a new client who is seeing me for depression or suicidal thoughts and at the root of all that is a fcking wardrobe! Yes, bullying IS wrong, but it's your job as a parent to NOT actively make your kid the target of bullying by sending them to school in clothes that aren't cool or in style.

And if your daughter dresses like a slut, don't be shocked when the boys only want one thing from her. There is a large swath between 'accountant' and 'slut'. Surely, there is something in the middle. Self-respect and decorum for godssake. It's school, not Lallapalooza or a DaBaby concert.

"System-Wide Dress Code Including School Uniforms

Students attending Prince George’s County Public Schools should dress appropriately and in a way that is consistent with learning being a priority. Pajamas are not appropriate attire for students attending the online campus.

Head Dress
Head dress can be worn indoors for religious or health reasons only.

Shirts and Blouses
Shirts and blouses should be continuous from neckline to waist. The mid-section should never be visible. Tank tops and muscle
shirts are not allowed. Clothing with vulgar language, obscene pictures, weapons, drugs/alcohol or drug paraphernalia and tobacco products are not allowed. Identifiable gang/crew clothing or paraphernalia are not allowed. Sheer clothing is not allowed.

Skirts, Dresses and Shorts
Skirts, dresses, and shorts are no shorter than students’ fingertips when arms are hanging straight down at their sides.

Pants
Pants should be worn and secured at the waist. Pants should not be worn below the waist exposing undergarments.
Tights, stretch pants, leggings and spandex body suits must be worn with clothing long enough to cover the buttocks.

Shoes:
Shoes must be worn"

The question was about HS. You are talking about MS. Our MCPS MS had the same dress code that yours has. But HS does not.

The dress code is system wide for Pre-K through 12th in PGCPS.

As a 1988 high school graduate in Fairfax Co, NO boy in my school wore half shirts like that. Maybe other parts of the country

I'm a GenXer from the Midwest, and I remember boys wearing shirts like that. Not a lot, but not none, either.

Another GenXer from the West coast and I definitely remember the cool boys—like the jocks or the surfer types—wearing those. Not the nerdy types or the punks or the burnouts or the low rider/cruisers though. It was the 80s and clothes were an important part of tribal identification.

You’re an idiot.

You and PP drag this forum down with your rudeness. I am interested in hearing what the therapist has to say and alternate points of view. She has a lot of experience with teens presumably.

My DD started her year wearing cute trendy outfits and was hit on by multiple students. She felt uncomfortable at this attention and is now wearing athletic shorts, holding etc to not draw attention to her.
She said one senior would not leave her alone, he was very aggressive and she was afraid. She is a shy kid in general and was hoping that by wearing nicer clothes, she would blend in better and make more friends but this backfired.

That's super sad you support your daughter not wearing what she wants, how about report sexual harassments to the school. WTF!

Did you encourage her to report this to the school?

It's important for your daughter to understand that her clothing choices aren't responsible for this person's creepy behavior. Rather, this person is responsible for his creepy behavior.

Next you'll tell us that short skirts cause sexual assault.

It is 2021. Who still even uses the word slut anymore? And what makes you think boys want more than "one thing" from conservatively dressed girls? Or maybe, just maybe, boys and girls aren't just one thing.

Why are you only calling girls sluts but not boys? What do you call males who dress fashionably and can follow trends (the last few pics were of male surfers/football guys)? Is your IQ and looks bad, but bullying women is something you can get away when you are jealous and failing at everything?

I'm the pearl clutcher from upthread and I love this and want a movie about it.

Haha, you'd like it because he was also a star football player with douchebag friends and a rich daddy. I was an athlete too, but way too smart and kind and depressed for him. He was a hilarious mistake.

OMG, did you just say that? Because booty shorts and a crop top will make a girl popular??? In my kids' school it is the opposite, but either way, if you are a therapist you should switch careers before you harm someone.

High waisted shorts/pants are also in style so not many belly buttons.
