Growing up in at times a small town and going to public school I was around just about every type of clothing. However I never used an excuse of freedom of expression on what
As my class got older, society changed with a new decade and clothing and rules changed to. I wore because I was inline with school codes and with what must of my friends wore. Many kids I grew up with made a big deal out of the whole situation causing the people behind us to suffer. In middle school we had a dress code enforced on us but for me it was ok because I usually wore a pair of jeans or wind suit pants and a t-shirt or sports jersey. Now I'm in college and I try to keep things simple. My mother still had a lot of say I what I wore because she was still paying for my clothes. Once I got a job things changed a little because I was in high school. In grade school I can remember wearing what was given to me with not too much complaints. Most of my shirts go with all my pants and its not hard to find matching clothes. I have the right to express myself but clothing has never been the way I have chosen to do so. Even with the music I still maintained a sense of the real world because I had picked up golf and had to dress a certain way for that so I had a variety of clothing to choose from. Yes, I had many influences but clothing was never one of them. I started wearing baggy pants, loose shirts, and all different types of hats. The school board believed that our parents would make the right decisions for us.
