I had neon colored nails on Friday [ Like, blindingly bright pink, lime green, construction site orange, bright yellow, electric blue, black, flashy silver, white, forest green, stunning bright violet, it was very... Eye catching. ] And this is what happened, word-by-word:
Teacher: Phoebe, nice fingernails. But are those really appropriate for school?
Me: Yes.
Teacher: No, they aren't. They could distract other students from the main purpose of school, which is to get an education.
Me: And your point is...?
Teacher: They are a dress code violation. Lose it.
Me: You already lost it a long time ago, lady.
Immediate lunch detention. My third time this week. I can't help mouthing off xD And apparently wearing neon colors is a dress code violation. I already broke that rule with my layered neon converse. And I continue to break it everyday with bows, shirts, and skinny jeans. So now my nails are glittery black and electric blue. My school really cracks down on the dress code. And how come I get detention for making smart comments and that dude doesn't for cussing out his girlfriend in the halls at school and tearing her bag in half?
