man, i cant believe this bullshit.

i mean. yeah the tampon thing sucks, but being a guy, it doesnt affect me that much.

its their reasons: "Backpacks are bad for kids backs"
honkey please! thats the biggest load of shit ever, yeah they can be bad if your carrying 100lbs of books, but they have a purpose.

then the whole fact about concealing weapons in a bag. If someone is gonna shoot some people, i dont think they give a expletive deleted about a stupid bag rule if they have a gun.

I know, right?

Actually, I beg to differ, it would affect you a lot I think. The girls would be so pissed about it you'd never stop hearing about it. And I think it's great that the guys got involved. Not to mention, everyone would know when a girl was on her cycle, which is totally humiliating - for most people anyways. So the more humiliated I felt, the more bitching I would do, and the more sick and tired you'd get, so joining in on the protest would be the fastest way to end the nonsense.

well, what i meant by it not affecting me "that much" meaning i would not be the one to be personally humiliated. I would definitely join in the protests though.

I still think the initial rule was thought up by some half loony hobigimanger. (yeah, i made that word up cause i ran out of thoughts)

Is that a little bit of sexual discrimination amongst many other things?

The small Sullivan County school has been in an uproar for the last week. Girls have worn tampons on their clothes in protest, and purses made out of tampon boxes. Some boys wore maxi-pads stuck to their shirts in support.

Heaven bless teenagers. Few adults would be this brave.
