Teens speak out on inappropriate dressing

A good number of teenagers dress in ways deemed inappropriate. But what do these youngsters have to say about it? Teen Times’ Martin Bishop talked to APRED NDERA students to get their views on the subject. The way we dress really matters. If you dress indecently, you will attract all the wrong people. Fatuma IngabireI think it is a phase. Young people have swag, adults have style and gentlemen/ladies have class. Any kind of ‘inappropriate’ dressing goes with age. Parents should chill and let teens be teens.Ezron MucoJudging someone solely on the way they dress may seem unfair. But there’s no avoiding it - the way we dress matters, and there’s no reason why we can’t use that to our advantage.Drake NkundaI would disassociate myself from people who are shabby. I believe what is outside reflects on what is inside. As future leaders of this country, we should imitate our current leaders and dress decently.Omega MbabaziLousy on the outside, lousy on the inside - what you see is definitely what you get!David HigiroCrazy hair styles and sagging pants don’t mean a thing. If a person is nice or intelligent, the way they dress won’t change that. In fact, the people labeled shabby are always ‘A’ students. David MusoneraObviously, if you go around wearing dirty sweatpants or jogging shoes with unkempt hair, people are going to perceive you as dirty, sloppy and lazy.Derrick MugaboPeople should be able to wear whatever they want and anyone who judges another’s dress code is simply very shallow. Miriam MainaIt’s completely unfair to judge a book by its cover. As long as a person is not dressed indecently, I have no problem. Natasha MalaikaThe way a person dresses has nothing to do with character. Most intelligent people such as scientists and professors dress like beggars but that doesn’t stop them from doing remarkable work. Brenda Mbabazi
