 Using school uniforms causes less violence, emotionally and physically. “Many pressures faced by students deal with their appearance. The way one looks has a great impact on the way he or she will be treated” (English, Tripp, and Andrews 1). By wearing school uniforms it creates a less stressful environment for the students. They don’t have to worry about being bullied because of what they are wearing, or being hurt because another student wants their clothing. For schools, crime rate has dropped dramatically since school uniforms have started being used. “In Long Beach, California, which was the first major district in the country to adopt a uniform policy, crime went down by 36 percent” (Cellucci 2). For some schools it means less crime, but for others it means less fighting on school grounds. “Occurrence of fighting among students was pretty much an everyday event. But last year, we only had two fights” (Rivera qtd. in Cook 2). The use of school uniforms is a step into having less crime and less fighting on school property.
