Based on what I see in the <18s: tchotchkes attached to their phones, bracelets, pin badges (which, to my surprise, my kids are allowed to wear to school), custom avatars, Roblox skins/clothing.
- giantg2 3y agoWhy is it surprising they can wear pins to school? Public schools are required to allow speech in most forms, like messages on clothing.
- xp84 3y agoProbably just the pointy part. I certainly wouldn't put it past kids to use any sharp object for bullying purposes. But on the other hand, pins and badges weren't banned when I was in high school either, I distinctly remember at least our resident punks wearing dozens of them on their clothes and backpacks. And pens and pencils and paperclips aren't much less sharp than a typical enamel pin.
- petercooper 3y agoI failed to give the context behind that statement. I live in the UK where school uniform is universal in secondary/high school, strongly enforced, and considered to be very important for some reason (enough so that breaching the uniform rules can result in being segregated from the other students for the day). They seem to allow a little more of a personal touch now than in my day, though, and can wear buttons on their blazers as well as hair accessories.
- giantg2 3y agoAh, ok. Many private schools are similar to that in the US.
- irrational 3y agoAdd in swatch watches and all of that sounds like my peers and I in school in the 80s.
