Essay

Swag! "Wow you look nice Jessica." Jessica came to school with a Gucci bandanna, new forces, and Baby Phat jeans. While Desiree came to school in a Walmart shirt and old Reebok's. If there was school uniforms, Desiree wouldn't be embarrassed by her outfit.The dress code should be enforced because some students can not afford the latest clothes, and there would be less crime.
First off, dress code should be enforced because some students can not afford named brand clothing. For example, some students are not fortunate and have both parents. Therefore there is only one income at the house and there are other necessities at the house to attend to than expensive clothing. In addition, because the student does not have the latest trends they get picked on and teased. Because the student is getting their feelings hurt, they blame the parent and other problems occur.
Furthermore, one of the problems that occur is crime. Uniforms should be enforced because it will cause juvenile crimes to decrease. The student is dealing with a lot of stress from peer pressure and making horrible decisions. For instance, because the student is being picked on they steal so they will be accepted. Eighty percent of juvenile cases is theft. Also some students commit suicide because they feel life is hard and they will never be accepted.
In closing, Desiree feels bad because she does not have nice clothes like Jessica. Dress code should be enforced because everyone can not have swag like Jessica and afford the latest trends, and there will be one less child in jail for stealing from Foot Locker.
