Children's hunger to be fashionable brings another dimension to the connection between clothing style and school violence. Children may envy other children's clothing and lack the financial resources to purchase similar styles. Subsequently, children have been violently injured or even murdered for their designer clothes, sneakers, or professional sport-team paraphernalia. School uniforms may reduce these occurrences. In addition, requiring children to wear the same clothing could send them a message that they all belong to the same team, which may decrease violence toward other "team members."Having a school uniform is a good idea because it will save some parents money. Also kids will not have to worry about the lastest trend or be harrassed because of the clothes they wear.
It is easy to tell who is a student and who doesn't belong. School uniforms should be mandatory in every State.
