How should your kid dress for his first school dance? ....IN a USA KILT OF COURSE!

[david30101]

Don't take this the wrong way, but you've ONLY got 15 posts here, haven't posted in over a year, and your first post back you decide to go all Judgmental on another member's son?
Uncool.

Im not being judgemental.. Im just saying.. Ive been through middle school and we all know how we get "picked" on at that age.. Im all for it.. That is great he is wearing a Kilt to school. As far as me not posting here in a long while.. Well.. Ive forgot about this site and other things have happened in my life plus ive changed computers. Only reason i came back was this site sent me a "happy birthday" message the other day. Im sure things are differnt in your part of the world, but here in the "south" USA, kids of that age make fun of me wearing my kilts.. Of course they all have short hair as well.. LOL.


Here, here! Sinbad is man enough to weather any (and doubtless there will be some) mocking from the ranks of 'un-enlightened' middle-schoolers about his kilt, why would he care what anyone thinks of his hair?
I hope my son grows to that age with the same personal strength of conviction and sense of self.

Here's how MY kid looked when he started middle school



And here's how he looks now as a junior in high school



Hair matters not when you have the right attitude, though I do think that as a parent YOU are the role model. Try to be less judgmental especially in front of your children.

The thing with hair is that, depending on the season, it grows at a reasonably regular rate. It doesn't arrive overnight - unlike forty years later when it seems to leave overnight. So everybody at the dance would have seen his hair get longer over the last two to three years. They have also seen him, and his father, in a kilt many times before. So the shock value would have been about nil.

I say well done to him.

Your son looks outstanding. I can appreciate your pride. I was quite proud of my son the first time he wore a kilt - although he was much older. Please do let us know how the dance turned out for your son. If I were a betting man, I'd bet it was a grand success!

A young man with independence and courage has a good start on becoming a man with those same qualities.

Well done!

He looks great and has the confidence to wear a kilt because he sees his pops in one all the time! kudos to him and his choice to wear the kilt!

I hope the school is as open minded.

Im sure this topic is old and i havent been here for well over a year.. I noticed at first glance, your kid looked more like a girl from the hair.. Mabie he needs a haircut. But looking at the pic, he sure can pass as a girl.. Between the long hair and the kilt, other kids will he he is trying to look like a girl. He really should get his hair cut..

You're posting on the wrong website mate! You wanna get over to "my-way-or-the-highway.com". You don't want to be wasting your time amongst all the non prejudiced, un-bigotted people here.



You might want to stop by "spelling for beginners.org" while you're at it.

Thank you for all the compliments. I had a great time. There were comments, but they went away quickly. The Principal told me as I came in "if anyone gives you trouble tell me".
I told everyone who tried to bully me what he said and they backed off. The dance was fun. There were a lot of conga lines.

When I started school and was getting bullied about my hair I almost decided to cut it. But my Dad told me that if they made me cut my hair they probably would find something else to bully me for. So if I wanted to cut it that was fine but I should cut it because I wanted to, not them. I obviously decided not to cut it!


Also about my hair and me looking like a girl.

(1) I like my hair like this.
(2) If you can't think of anything good to say, don't say anything at all.
