Brightstar,

I think part of growing up is trying to find your identity. It is something that by definition can't be forced on someone, it has to be a process of self discovery.
IMO, the problem isn't one of repressing self expression(methods of dress) but by finding creative and healthy ways to enhance positive self expression and heighten feelings of self worth.

Someone with high levels of self worth doesn't throw their life away.
Those types of actions are only taken by people who feel their own life is meaningless, and by extrapolation the lives of others are just as meaningless.

Re: "The one sure way of changing this violence is for the Dept. of Education to demand proper dress codes for all students."

Wouldn't it be nice if we could get rid of evil in this world by outlawing trench coats? I really don't think it works that way.

Best wishes,
