I got my first bra in 6th grade, and immediately got made fun of (“why are you wearing a bra, flatty? You got no boobs!”). So I refused to wear one for all of middle school. Oddly enough, that wasn’t a problem (the 80’s were such a different time). The next thing I got taunted about was not shaving my armpits soon…

Like you’re saying in some of your other comments, I think a lot of it comes down to body shape. Which sucks, because it’s not like we can help if we bust out a D-cup our freshman year. My daughter is incredibly thin (she’s actually got a medical condition that’s keeping her from gaining weight normally, plus a…

How about this:

I’m kind of getting the impression that Rachel was the one molested. And this whole pretending to be black thing she’s doing is some disassociation from the girl who was molested. And she said it was the much-younger brother instead of her to make a better case, maybe?

If that’s how the quiz does it, I’d get my mother-in-law for sure. She likes everything I post ever.

I wore some sandals as a teacher and gashed my foot open on one of those metal doorstop things. So I think full shoes is a fair safety standard.

Pasadena Unified (in California) did this for the lower grades. Polos in one of three colors, khakis or plain jeans. Oddly enough only one of the middle schools and high schools had a uniform, though.

I was in college just after the Berkeley Naked Guy was a thing.

Hey, that’s a great idea. Maybe that school should have made the uniform for girls “shirt tucked into belted pants and a tie.” Just like the guys. Any particular reason the girls had to wear skirts and specific underwear?

How many of those rules apply to both genders, and how many apply to only one gender? Are there a lot of boys showing up in short skirts, tube tops, or halter tops do you think?

And you’re damned if you do, damned if you don’t. You have to wear a bra, but no part of the bra can be visible and we can’t know you’re wearing it but we can’t know you’re NOT wearing one ...

My daughter somehow has this magic dress-code defying power. Like, a teacher will ask her “Are those shorts in dress code?” and she says “nope” and keeps on going. She got a violation one time and now they’ve just given up or something. She’s skinny and all arms and legs and there’s no “fingertip length” shorts to be…

You know, my daughter has on a few occasions gone to school in this:

Lying about getting racist hate mail ... well, not lying about getting it, but putting it in your own mailbox doesn’t count.

I find myself a little concerned about the two hugging men. I really hope neither of them peed on a stick and got a result.

I am mailing that poor man an umbrella and some hip waders ASAP.

I’m missing where it says her new appointment was a “few days” earlier. The last time I scheduled a mammogram, they had no openings until the middle of the next month. Six weeks was not a problem for me because I didn’t have anything that concerned me. But if I’d had a lump I’d absolutely want to get their first…

I am seriously 100% behind lab-grown meat. Not only does it solve the problem of resources being dedicated to growing the whole animal, but anything we can get cells from, we can eat. Whale steak? Tiger? MAMMOTH?

My hair is fine, but fluffy. I’m not sure I have enough hair to do it even if I had the inclination. I’m not very good with hair.

oooh I like
