Why do the High School Girls Wear Their Uniforms So Short??

| I’ve noticed this especially at all girls schools. I mean these skirts barely cover their bottoms. And who are they doing it for? There are no boys around. I don’t like it. |

| Have you seen the length of teen girl shorts? You’d probably need smelling salts and fainting couch. |

Sounds like a troll but I'll bite.
Public schools have dress codes that are minimal at best providing kids a lot of ways to express themselves and even rebel a little bit. Private school dress codes constrain that but kids of both sexes will still find ways. I grew up going to private schools. Short skirts, untucked shirts, guys having untucked shirts or "forgetting" to wear belts were all little ways of self expression. This was the 90s and our dress code even included limits on nail polish color. You were a rebel to try and get away with a pale pink instead of clear. |

They are doing it to attract the eyes of their male friends when roaming off campus… duh
Hate to say it but as a mother in her early 50s we did the same thing - probably not as short as todays standards though |

| Because they’re teenage girls. That’s pretty much it. |

| Because skirts look good below the knee or below the butt. Above-knee is flattering for no one. It’s how the hemline falls against a curve. |

+1 I went to an all-girls catholic school, graduating in 1986. We rolled our skirts to make then shorter back then. It's just what you do when you're a teenaged girl forced to wear a uniform. Ha! |
