School uniform - agree or disagree!?

In Japan, every junior high school has school uniforms. Sometimes students don’t like uniform and feel uncomfortable.

When I was a junior high school student, my school has the school uniform.  It was a typical style of uniforms in Japan.  Boys wore black jacket with stand-up collar and trousers.  Girls wore blazer and skirt.

Many students didn’t like school uniform and tried to coordinate clothes to show how I am different from others.  For example, boys changed the length of jacket either shorter or longer.  Girls also changed the length of skirt longer.

In my 3rd year at junior high school, the new trend came suddenly.  Girls wore the shorter skirt with white loose socks.  This trend became extremely popular all over Japan.  As a trend of loose socks, students try to enjoy and express themselves within fixed rule. 

Recently, it is popular among students to wear school uniforms when they go to Disney Resort even after they graduated from junior high school.  Younger generation seems not to have negative feeling on school uniforms. 

I agree with school uniform.  It can give the sense of belonging to students and some new culture or trend cannot happen without school uniforms.
