As adults choosing an outfit to wear everyday helps us develop our own appearance through what we choose. Adolescents see clothing choices as a means of identification, and seeking an identity is one of the maybe most critical stages of adolescence, according to the developmental psychologist Erik Erikson.

Denying students the ability to express themselves whether they choose to be preppy, hip-hop, punk, or jock, could affect the students’ transition from childhood into adulthood. Controlling the socialization process could harm the student as an adult, as they are not prepared for the real world, where they will indeed b judged by their appearances.

Tom Houlihan, a former Superintendent of a school in Oxford, NC, stated that school uniforms "are a distraction from focusing on systematic and fundamental transformation to improve our schools."

Girls in schools are almost always purposely targeted most of the time and can be taken out of class for sometimes for up to 2 and 1/2 hours. 3 out of every 5 girls get reported for what they are wearing by a male student because it's distracting.

Having a dress code limits us to express ourselves. As adolescents we try to figure out who we are. Having a dress code limits us from this.

Have  you ever looked around the world at different schools and seen what the students wear? Well its because of their dress codes. A lot of people say that schools should have uniforms because they think that school dress codes aren't strict enough. Well, who decides this and why don't the students get a say in what they wear? As students have uniforms/dress codes they aren't as free to express them-selves , they pay less attention to the teachers, and it may also delay the transition into adulthood.
