The following article was in the September issue of The Tiger Print. Read the article (even if you already have) and respond to it below. What do you think? Do you agree? Disagree? Consider all perspectives of the article while you respond.
I definitely agree with Riley Miller's article. Why should girls be punished for wearing what they want as long as it totally doesn't cross the line. She writes that she was "unfortunately blessed with extremely long, lank limbs." I have the exact same issue why should I have to wear longer shorts if someone the exact same size as me just with shorter legs gets to wear short-shorts. Also, I think boys don't really care how short our shorts are, its just more for them to see (wow my thigh, that's intriguing). Teachers and administrators shouldn't enforce this thumb-rule, because I'm sure when they were in high school they wore what everybody else was wearing, what was in at the time. Girls are just wearing these shorts because that's whats in right now. Give it a few years it might go away, but for the time being we shouldn't be punished.
