Let them wear what they want. When I was a teen I used to wear skinny jeans and there were plenty of adults who had a problem with that. I grew up and moved on to more appropriate clothing for my age. I wasn't hurting anyone with my skinny jeans. I may have looked ridiculous but that's how most teens look. Let them be kids and express themselves however they want.

Never really understood the outrage with sagging... if people want to look stupid, let them look stupid. I was in high school when sagging hit the hiphop/skater crowds, and I can't ever recall seeing anyone sagging and exposing body parts... only exposed boxers. Hell, 80's bball shorts were more indecent/exposing than that. And where does this end? Do they outlaw kids in goth clothing next? And how ironic is it that the place that actually profits from this look is now banning it.

Its underwear. Get over it. It aint hurting you in any tiny possible way. This isnt the 50s and older people who have a problem with this need to realize that they will die and wither away long before "saggers" . Our youthful generation is the one that will shape our culture. Stuff like this has been happening all over the world since the dawn of man and there are always uptight older people complaining because they hate change

When sagging first hit the scene, kids were doing it from every race and background. The fad faded, most kids stopped doing it. The majority of the people doing this now are gangbangers. From kids all the way to young adults. I am not saying all are bad or gangbangers but there are enough of them that they are all lumped together. Is that fair....no but the bad outweigh the good in my opinion.
I agree fully with places banning sagging. If the people sagging were not trouble then the issue would never have come up would it?!!!

I love how you left out my next few sentences. If you want real world stats then just turn your TV on and watch the news or watch news programs like 20/20 and dateline.

Anyway, this is just my opinion based on what I see so frequently that it's hard not to have this opinion of saggers.
