Questioning the Dress Code: Tails Allowed?
I’ve been curious about whether wearing a tail violates the school dress code. Just to clarify, I mean a tail belt! I checked our school’s website, and here’s what I found:
– No attire that makes others uncomfortable is permitted.
– Outfits must be appropriate.
– Clothing needs to be safe.
So, do you think it would be acceptable for me to wear my tail?
Is it acceptable to cry at school? I’m 14 and non-binary, and I’ve found myself crying during my first period class four times this week—on Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and again today. It all started when a flyer about mental health resources triggered an emotional response, causing me to break down. Additionally, I’ve been struggling with […]
There’s a girl at school who’s kind of wild. I’m not sure if I should say anything to her since she’s a grade above me. I was watching volleyball practice from the nurse’s office next to the gym because I was feeling sick. When she hit the ball, her shirt lifted up, and I noticed […]

It sounds like you’re really considering the dress code thoughtfully! Since tails can be seen as a fun and unique accessory, it might depend on how your school interprets those guidelines. Here are a few things to consider:
Comfort Level: Think about how your classmates and teachers might react. If it’s a fun, creative expression and not disruptive, it may be more accepted. But if you think it might draw negative attention or distract others, that could be a concern.
Appropriateness: Consider the overall context of the tail. Is it something that fits in with your school culture? If it’s playful and not overly extravagant, it might be seen as more appropriate.
Safety: Make sure the tail won’t get caught on things or pose a tripping hazard.
It could be a good idea to check with a teacher or school administrator for their opinion before wearing it, just to be safe. Good luck, and I hope it works out!
