finally wore my kilt to school

Way to go, Nevermore!

It takes balls to wear a kilt to school and apparently some of your classmates wanted to see how big they are.

The St. Andrew's tartan is appropriate for any American to wear. It's red, white, and blue.

When I was at secondry school (ages 11-16) the Head and several teachers used to wear the kilt on St andrews day and one of the teachers would pipe in the kilt, we used to do highland dance as part of PE, although you only need a kilt for competitions, when a new wing of the school was opened a local sheriff was invited to open and there was pipes and kilts a plenty, the sheriff was a lady so she wore a Tartan skirt (sheriffs in scotland dont wear cowboy hats and have silver stars, they are more like a kind of "judge")

Not that I'm all that older then the high school aged folks here, but it certainly warms my heart to hear that the kilt is making its way into the halls of education around the world.

As I prepare to move to Pullman, WA, I expect to take a little grief from undergrads, but I'm sure that I'll be a bit of a novelty, but I'll be OK with that. Interestingly enough, while playing poker in March with some current WSU students, I learned of another kilted gentleman who is seen wandering the streets of Pullman. I'm looking forward to finding this fellow wearer of the kilt, hopefully directing him here.

Once again, way to go, keep bringing the good fight to those at your school,

I salute you, Nevermore.

Wish I'd had the fortitude, way back in my high school days, to follow my own path, instead of standing in line with everyone else.

Keep it up.

ahh, once again, good on ya. as a fellow high school kilt-wearer (since 9th grade, baby), i know how it can be. (most) people will get used to it, but you'll still get the ignorant "fag" comments and, uh, the same guys calling you "fag" trying to look up your skirt. ironic, no? some people just dont have brains enough to get them through the day, i swear. but anyway, just stick with it and you'll eventually gain respect. and it's true, high schools are conformity factories, and no one will ever be able to call you a conformist after you've worn a kilt!

oh, and yeah, something could happen, but lord's sakes i go it regimental all the same! makes the day all the more interesting. i know ive told this story once, but i was bending over at my locker when a girl i know thought it would be a laugh to lift up my kilt. i turned around and her hand was over her mouth, her face BRIGHT RED. it was *priceless*. "Why arent you wearing anything under there??"

"Why are you lifting up my kilt?"

Again, though, with the riot thing. Gotta be careful!

Nevermore ,
You are truely hard core ,respect to you.If your tenth grade how old does that make you then.
There was a kid in my wifes school who expressed a wish to wear his kilt to school (sixth form aged 16 or 17) my wife told him to go for it as it also says nothing in the dress code for the school, as yet he hasn't appeared wearing it.
After this I accused my wife of trying to start a one man/woman kilted rebelion.Lol
All the best for the future , more youngsters like you are required to take up the mantle of kilt wearing and kilted life.
