So, I just moved from Britain to America and I’m starting to get the deal about dress code. I was wearing black skinny jeans and my All Time Low shirt that exposes a sliver of my back when I stretch.
I didn’t have many other clothes because they were still in the process of being moved. The teacher tried to dress code me because my back was distracting and I had a small rant at him that went something along the lines of,
“You know what’s distracting? Having to avoid certain people and places because they’ll touch you and wolf-whistle and call you names. Having to pick out your outfits according to how boy’s should be taught. Having to explain to your teacher why you won’t go home because he is distracting you from finishing the work he assigned.”
I got detention for three months for talking back to the teacher, refusing to see the principal and refusing to get changed. It’s worth it though. Third day here and people already refer to me as “Distracta-Girl”
