Help! Legs are Suffocating!

       Would a woman be caught wearing only pantyhose as bottoms in public with no dress to cover her posterior? The answer is no, a woman would be ashamed to wear such a scandalous, semi-transparent outfit because it is disgraceful and not proper. Well the irony in this is that teenage girls at Princess Margaret Secondary wear tights or leggings on a daily basis. An article of clothing that was designed to be worn under dresses and long shirts for modesty now is worn with crop tops so the girls are able to flaunt their new bellybutton piercings and toned stomachs. Do the female students wear them to show off great legs, for attention, or just because they feel relaxed in them?

       What modest girls they must be wearing skintight pants that caress their every curve and mold to their bodies. They do everything in this one garment: come to school, go to work, go shopping, workout, hike, bike, and much more. Girls argue that it is comfortable, it is a great asset because it goes with all their blouses, and "they could never live without their new lulu's!" Funny, how they lived a perfectly normal life before buying an eighty-dollar pair of tights. The thoughts of these students are being taken over by cooperate clothing company's urging them to buy products because they are a "must have" and a new trend.


       This humble garment has abused the legs of the young women in Princess Margaret. One can hear the haggard gasping of their legs attempting to breathe. The leggings sculpt to the legs, clinging to and choking the skin. The teachers and the other students need to help these girls realize that wearing tight clothing doesn't do them any good. They are reducing the circulation of blood and decreasing movement by squeezing leg muscles. The girls at Princess Margaret should understand that going back to normal jeans−not skinny jeans−will only help them and won’t ruin their lives if the lulus were taken away.
