I actually wore my uniform 2 of th 5 non-uniform days when I was in secondary school. I kept forgetting that we were having non-uniform day. The only reason I wasn't 5 for 5 was that my brother started in 1st year when I was in 3rd and he remembered.

I just didn't care really.

thats why schools have uniforms.........

so there wont be bitching

When I was a body conscious, constantly mortified teenager attending a mixed school I simply hated no uniform days because of the bitches in my school. I fucking hated how some trendy girls and boys with their levi 501s and shirts tucked in (remember early 90s) would laugh at the less trendy kids who invariably were dressed in their good wear/mass outfits/confirmation outfits.

Hah! 'Good wear'. I've not heard that for years.

"Dont get ketchup on your good trousers you little bollocks"

would laugh at the less trendy kids who invariably were dressed in their good wear/mass outfits/confirmation outfits.

 

[deedee]

I know...bless em. No one had money in my school so no uniform day was serious pressure and the good wear was hauled out.

in my school one year (maybe more, can't remember) we had to pay money for non-uniform day so that we all took it seriously. and if you dressed up in "outrageous or joke clothes" you were sent home and/or got detention.

my school had so many stupid rules.

We always had to pay for it, the money went to charity. Any of the funny dressing in my school was usually restricted to during arts week. In first year, as a protest against girls being forced to wear skirts, a group of us swapped uniforms with a bunch of the guys. That was funny. There were about 20 of us so they decided not to do anything serious about it. Just locked us all in the library for the afternoon.

I wore my communion dress on the one and only no uniform day I was at. It was six years after I finished school too.

what do grungers dress like these days???

I didn't know grunge was still "in" with kids...

i think there's a specialist grunge retailer raking it in somewhere - i saw a girl wearing a plaid shirt and a blind melon* t-shirt last week, with a group of kids in nirvana t-shirts, and it wasn't in a dream or anything.



i didn't enjoy school much and non-uniform days were a particular lowlight because you'd know the bitchy girls would be talking about your clothes, whatever you wore, and the best you could hope for was being the token weirdo, which lost its novelty value years before school ended. good to know you're keeping the tradition alive, roisin.

(sure, you can acknowledge that teenagers are hypocrites, but you hardly have to pretend you find being mean about other people cool or that piercings and tattoos make you so special and different.)


* not so much grunge as similar anachronism, but anyway.

it's probably my mom selling all our old clothes.

On no uniform day in my school I used to wear runners, jeans, a tee shirt and a tracksuit top. If it was winter time I wore a jacket too and when it was all over I'd go home to my parents house which is where I lived at the time.

Smiths t-shirt, grey cardie and one of those plastic flowers they give out for alzhimers or something.

(I'm beginning to understand now what I hated school so much.)

I told a kid one day the best thing he could do on his first day in secondary school was to kick the shit out of somebody. Nobody is going to fight back on day one and you'll be left alone for the next 5 years. I'm always sorry I never got the chance to take my own advice.
