Revealing Clothes Word Flirt Guy
525 wordsWho Is More Flirtatious? ? What does the word flirt really mean? Is it a good thing or a bad thing? People ask these questions all the time. Well, in Websters New World College Dictionary, the word flirt is defined as follows: "to pay amorous attention without serious intentions or emotional commitment; play at love." Flirting by definition therefore is light-hearted and non-serious play. In my opinion, girls flirt way more than guys do. Girls can flirt in the way they dress, act, and talk. A gi...

Wearing Uniforms School Uniforms
571 wordsDress code in schools has always been a problem because students somehow find it hard to follow the rules on what they can or cannot to school. While clothing is a relatively minor issue when it comes to education, wearing uniforms does seem to improve an educational environment. Therefore, I firmly believe that uniforms should be enforced upon students from elementary to high school. This will help teach discipline, focus less on certain groups, and break down on economic differences. Uniforms ...

There were the smart kids, the athletes, the cheerleaders, the drug users, and the slackers. But somehow I didn't fit into all of this. I wasn't, and still am not, the smartest person in the history of the world. I'm way too clumsy to play any sports. I wasn't the right size to be a cheerleader.
