Teenage boys putting on makeup, practicing walking in heels, and worrying about their hair may be unusual, but when school starts we won't be like other boys, we will be like girls.
We'll wear the normal girl's uniform, a Kelly green pleated skirt and blazer, a white blouse, knee socks, and penny loafers or saddle shoes. We'll have our hair styled, our ears pierced, our nails filed and polished and our eyebrows tweezed. We'll probably be standing with a group of other girls before classes start, talking about our schedules, our vacations, clothes, and of course boys.
All because our school decided, and our parents agreed, that the best way to succeed after high school is to be well mannered and understanding of others.
