Dress Code

I can't be the only person who wears certain clothes to give certain impressions, but...why should your clothing define who you are? I like wearing leggings and shorts, and sleeveless shirts. If only I could wear those things at school without being under constant fear that I will be stopped by an aid/teacher. However, dress code rules for safety are beneficial for our school. But why can't I wear the clothes I feel confident in? Apparently, it is so the guys don't get distracted by girls showing too much skin, but if that's so, how is a boy getting distracted by me my fault? I don't know any boy who would do that, but if they did, it's not my fault I'm a "distraction" to them. Maybe rather than encouraging girls to wear "appropriate" clothes, we should teach boys not to see females as something they can "get distracted" by. Not saying all guys are like this, but that would be better than making a dress code to limit girls' clothing options greatly. Now I have to admit, I do wear clothes to say who I am sometimes, and I do judge people on their clothing sometimes too, but I really shouldn't. And I think that we should all look at a person on their character, and not the clothes they want to wear.
