hey luna at my school, they say if you have your skirt rolled too high, you have to wear trousers to school. mine and my friends skirt isn’t that high AT ALL, i can think of a hundred girls in my year/the years above with their skirts higher than ours. but now ive been told i have to wear trousers to school by my head teacher? this has made me so angry! i don’t know what to do, im hoping if i don’t roll my skirt my head teacher will forget, but still. don’t you think this is unreasonable? what should i do if they make me wear trousers?
Heyy 😊 It can be really frustrating when it seems like you're being singled out - especially when it's for something everyone is doing!
It's understandable that you're not happy with the skirt policy at your school. If you feel that your skirt isn't rolled too high, it might be worth discussing your concerns with a teacher or a trusted adult at school. They can help you understand the reasoning behind the policy and see if there's any flexibility.
You might be able to come to a mutual understanding if you express your concerns in a respectful manner and are open to listening to the staff's perspective too. There's more on how to approach this conversation in the Learn section of the app.
If you're still required to wear trousers, remember that it's important to follow the rules even if you don't agree with them. But if it's making you feel really uncomfortable or upset then you might want to ask for help from a parent or carer who could advocate for you 💕
