A small problem...

Rocky's ideas are very good. In addition to his, I suggest joining your clan, family, or the district society. These groups have come to the rescue of kilted students and teachers in the past. They handle professional argumentive letters, phone calls, and petitions.

To argue your cause:
1. Make sure you always look your best while kilted.
2. Never give any extra reason(s) for abuse.
3. Don't make eye contact with your abusers. (this is called street smarts)
4. Schedule a free legal consultation. They will often make one or two free phone calls on your behalf. This will usually put the fear of GOD in people.
5. As stated above, join your clan/family/district society.
6. Go from class to class with your friends, not alone.


Remember, probably 30-50% of the folks insulting you are probably of Scottish ancestory themselves. If they are of Highland heritage, they are mocking their own ancestors and family. (peace of mind)

And as Rocky said, if the local administration is actually participating in the ridicule, the school district office needs to be involved.

Thanks for the advice. I think I'm gonna try and ignore any comments from students. I like my kilt, and if they don't well then too bad. The comments from staff and such come from only two teachers, who I rarely see anymore as it is. As for the kid who keeps trying to rip it off, Im gonna use sorcererdale's idea and just turn it back on him. As for a few of the questions, Im 16 (A junior). And originally I had to wear underwear as well as gym shorts underneath the kilt. But I argued with the vice-prinicpal saying that it was descrimination for me to have to wear gym shorts under a kilt which meets all code requirements, when girls can wear skirts only half as long, without shorts. And when I go to school wearing it, (once a week) I wear one of my nicer shirts and my boots.

Ahhh... Those who are kilted are usually the wisest...
