Here's just some stuff I was thinking about last night when I was unable to get to sleep, so I might as well post it.


I get a much different perspective on wearing kilts than most of you here, considering how I'm substantially younger than the majority of the crowd here, therefore I interact with younger people. Those of you kilt wearers here generally see the reactions from adults, and while I may still get reactions from adults, I also see how kids tend to react.

Any incounter I've had with an adult has been positive. Every now and then when I wear it, someone would give me a compliment about the kilt. One time I even ended up talking for about half an hour to an eldery man about it!

Now, on to reactions to kids. My two best friends (one male, one female) both reacted very positively to it. The male one even has expressed slight interest in getting one himself, but I don't know what his parents would think of spending that much money, haha. There's also a fine lassie that I'm dating who absolutely loves the kilt.

A bunch of my friends also think it's pretty cool. There's a bunch of people that want me to wear it to the little grade nine graduation thing we'll have at the end of the year... I think that'd be a big step for me, wearing the kilt to school, but it's one I'm considerating, if only I could muster enough courage. I suppose it'll depend on how formal it is.

Anyways, it's pretty pointless, I just think it's neat to point out an entirely different perspective with kilt wearing. I know I've posted some of this before, but I had an urge to summarize it up.

If you've got kids my age, younger, older, it doesn't matter, and you want them to liberate themselves from trouser tyranny, maybe show them this post, because it proves that a 14 year old can wear a kilt without a problem!

Also, if any of you wore kilts as a child/adolescent, that'd be interesting to hear about what you got out of it.
