Punk rock was the big thing. Talk about ugly! I never stuck any safety pins through my skin or dyed my hair rainbow colors but I was feeling so bad about myself (which is why I think a lot of kids today dress like they do) that I was willing to stand out and shock. My parents of course had fits over how I looked. Now, when I look at kids who dress way out of bounds I just remember my feelings of inadequacy and feel sorry for them.Wendy S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/15844140164219677671noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2795332554006054086.post-65872194804688412362012-09-05T08:49:47.463-04:002012-09-05T08:49:47.463-04:00Yes Ma'am, they have!!!

My hair was down to my waist, straight as a pin and parted in the middle like Cher. I was a flower child and love and peace was my mantra.<br /><br />Sound familiar ?<br /><br />I guess I have not changed all that much. My hair is still very long and blonde and straight. I just cut a good 4" off so it is<br />not down to my waist anymore. I have to wear<br />it up when I work and love and peace are still<br />what I preach.<br /><br />I do, however, remember in high school getting stopped by a teacher because my dress length<br />was just below my knee. She actually sent me<br />to the principals office over that. This was when Twiggy was just bringing in the mini-skirt<br />which was much shorter than what I had on.<br /><br />She followed me into the washroom and said terrible things to me, enough to make me cry.<br />The principal did not think much of it and that<br />only made her more upset.<br /><br />The following year I had her for shorthand and<br />for typing... yikes ! Needless to say I was<br />petrified of her and that was a very difficult<br />time for me. She was my homeroom teacher.<br /><br />I think every generation goes through this mind-set of wanting to wear clothes or makeup<br />or weird hairdo's to try and shock their parents. They like to push the envelope, so<br />to speak. I believe they think it makes them<br />look cool. <br /><br />I also think they believe it displays individualism. They thing is ...<br />most of the time, the others follow like sheep<br />to copy anyone who has a unique look. <br /><br />Thus, how unique is it really ?<br /><br />omg...<br />this one took me back Mary.<br /><br />Have a great day<br /><br />hugs and love SharonAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01204315564499251061noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2795332554006054086.post-39620487785410939322012-09-05T08:32:38.061-04:002012-09-05T08:32:38.061-04:00In our high school, if your skirt was too short yo...In our high school, if your skirt was too short you got called to the principal's office and had to kneel on the floor. The principal used a measuring stick to verify that the hem of your skirt did or did not touch the floor as you knelt. If it did not, you were sent home. Crazy times. Fashions come and go, that is for sure. I will be glad when the boys stop letting their pants fall down!Robin Larkspurhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04949175314401172368noreply@blogger.com
