HOW DOES ONE GO ABOUT MAKING A POUF SO UNIFORM

Your stepkids might, but the rest of the district won't. My sister's friends started with this bullshit in second and third grade (there's a whole other rant about how if rail-thin seven and eight year olds can wear your clothes you have a problem with your sizing) and are going strong still, in 10th and 11th grade.

Yeah, it was really bad. And as long ago as it was it's still totally a part of our school district's culture. My middle school was nicknamed "Gucci Middle," and in a spectacularly poor attempt to stifle this kind of bullying they passed a dress code that required collared shirts only, plus jeans or pants.

In other really upsetting hollister stories, when my sister was in third grade (~2005) she came home from school crying one day. When we asked her why, she said it was because the girls in her class told her she couldn't play with them because she was wearing old navy stuff and they only wore hollister.

Nope. My sixteen year old sister and all her friends have been drinking that koolaid hard since elementary school.
