Actually the answer is parents do not teach children truth regarding which moral compass to follow. Proper training helps young people understand the proper place for sex, appreciation for the human body and respect for their fellow man. The reason why so much effort is made to censor playboy magazines and the like which is hidden well behind the counter, why alcohol is dissallowed until 21, and smoking until 18 is because parents are too lazy to make the needed effort to raise morally respectable young people. They don't do it because the are not morally respectable themselves. Now if you follow that logic you can see why rules are put in place for those children who have ignorant parents.

I wish i could agree. But on any give day you can ask a parent and some of them really believe what their child is wearing is fine. But take a look at the parent. Is there any real wonder why they feel that way??

back to my point of it all starts with parents and if they dont know how to raise their children someone has to do it for them

Barry my point exactly maybe i didnt state it properly but i absolutely agree with you. it starts with parents and if they dont know how to raise kids well someone has to. I wasnt born here and was staying at home alone starting about 5yrs old. here in the US you lose your child for that stunt, one of my parents friends knew someone whose kid called 911 and said she was home alone, guess what that got the parents. parents now a days are kids themselves thats the problem.

First off, Blondboisd is 21...just barely out of his teenage years. His reasoning makes sense to teenagers not to parents. We should forget and forgive what he says, my eldest son is turning 20. As a parent of 4 teenage children 19,17,15,12 I know what it takes to guide your children to the right paths even though I have hard times doing so. As for teenage boys, I am sure they will survive the peer pressure in their teenage years as they grow up. Just like other parents, I am worried more for my 12 year-old daughter who is more vulnerable to the peer pressure. Anyway, all 4 of them have cellphones and I wish the school they attend require uniforms. Giving kids cellphones is sometimes unneccessary but then I know I will have a hold of them whenever I want and sometimes it happens that I call them right where it needed most. If you know what I mean. Applause to the parents in this forum.

I'm 24 so you can say just out of my teenage years as well and what he says is complete non-sence

Yes I have a teenager and don't need the school to set the rules for dress.
People that need the school to do things like that have failed or are failing as a parents.

And you should be. Here's a good reason why. http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20060902/...t/naked_town_1

Very true, which is exactly why the school needs to have the dress code. There are many parents that aren't holding up their end of the responsibility. You can't force them to raise their kids differently, thus you need the rules.
