This whole dress code deal going on in schools is just getting a little bit out of control.  Girls being sent home or having to miss class time is just taking away from their education and all because what they’re wearing isn’t what’s considered “appropriate”.

If you were to go to a mall and go to half of the clothing stores to buy shorts nearly more then 3/4 of them would only be able to sell you short shorts.  I’m not saying that it’s not our faults the shorts are short but what I will say is that, “short shorts” are what’s in for this generation.  I highly doubt students in the 70’s were taken out of class for wearing bell bottom jeans.

My last complaint about these dress codes is that if we’re not allowed to wear all these things, then why doesn’t the school just issue a uniform? Many schools in New York have them and most Catholic school do as well. My point is, if they’re going to complain so much, they might as well just tell us what to wear.  Although when uniforms are put into play, that’s just taking away from our form of expression.  I put on what I do in the morning from my mood and my personal likings. Telling us what we can and cannot wear is just being ignorant.

Classy by Derek Blasberg has been popping up just about everywhere.  The novel distinguishes the difference between classy and well, trampy.  This brilliant man, who graduated from NYU, Derek Blasberg decided to write a book of guidelines for ladies to lead a lifestyle with class.  It’s also equipped with how-to’s, tips, and tools to be able to not only know the difference between classy and trampy, but know the secrets of pursuing the ideal socialists life you’re in dier need of.

The book has had good reviews and is a definite need. I personally haven’t read it yet, but let me tell you, I will have it in hand asap.

Plastic Surgery in my dictionary translates into “risking your life for the sake of looking pretty”. With Hollywood glamorizing this activity more and more people are taking it up.

On a national average a breast implant is $3,541, A face lift is $6,881, and the amazing Liposuction is $2,803.  Instead of spending money on more important things, people think it’s necessary to spend thousands of dollars on these surgeries. In 2009, Americans spent $10.5 billion on cosmetic procedures.

Many people can undergo various negative effects during the procedure as well.  You could have a bad reaction to one of the medications being used, and you could also go through an organ failure.  Also, after going through the surgery, many have come to face a high emotional effect.  The surgery can effect a persons life greatly therefore playing with their emotions. Going too far may also lead to looking like a totally different person. Changing from your natural beauty into a monster isn’t my top suggestion.

Let’s not all turn into Barbie dolls. You’re born the way you are, and in my opinion I think that’s the way we all should stay; we all won’t be 21 forever my friends.
