The foollowing is a studetnt's response to the question, "What's your opinion about school uniforms for high school students?"

School uniforms has a bad side.  For example, a difference of male or female.  Most school uniforms are divided into pants or skirts.  And teachers often ban male students to wear skirts and female students to wear pants.  The young can't wear proper uniforms they think.  Compulsion of school uniforms sometimes becomes a sexual discrimination.  Noweadays, a lot of people make their own sexual orientation public.  We should understand and accept them.

The following is a student's response to the question, "What's your opinion about school uniforms for high school students?"

I'm against school uniforms.  I have two reasons.  First, I feel confortable.  It is becuase I always wear the same uniform as my friends.  So, it is difficult for me to show my personality to the full.  If iI wear everyday clothes, I can feel relaxed and ave a good time.Second, if I wear the school uniforms, I feel sometimes too hot or too cold because I can't choose which clothes I should wear.  Also, I want to enjoy choosing clothes which I wear everyday.For these reasons, I'm against school uniforms.

The following is a student's response to the question "What's your opinion about school uniforms for high school students?"

I have two opinions of the good points of school uniforms.  First, we don't choose our clothes every day.  Second, we cange our feelings vy wearing school uniforms.  On the other hand, I think that some people may suffer from wearing school uniforms.  They may hate to wear pants and skirts.  I'm against present school uniforms.  Present school uniforms are different widely between men's and women's.  I have my opinion.  It is to change choices men's and women's and to standardize one design of the school uniform.  Then I agree with school uniforms but it should be put ingenuity into the design.

The following is a student's response to the question "What's your opinion about school uniforms for high school students?"

I'm for school uniforms because there are several advantages to them.  First, we can save time.  I want to sleep as ong as possible.  So I don't have time to coordinate clothes in the morning.  We don't have to worry about vhoosing what to wear.  Second, we can have an awareness of being a member of our school by wearing the school u niform.  Finally, it is important to pass down a tradition to future genarations.  School uniforms have veen worn for a long time and it has history and tradition in each school.

The following is a student's response to the question, "Which is worse, arguing with someone orfiving someonethesilent treatment?"

I think that giving someonethe silent treatment is worse, because I felt sad when my friend gave me that treatment. I talked to her to solve theproblem.  Now my friend and I are getting along very well.  It is important for us to be nice to each other.

The following is a student's response to the question, "Which is worse, arguing with someone orfiving someonethesilent treatment?"

I think giving someonethesilent treatment is worse.  It is because if we argue with someone, possibly, we can solve the problem.  But if we give someone the silent treatment, we can't solve it.  I have solved a problem by arguing with my friend.  I don't like giving someone the silent treatment.
