That is so stupid! It should be up to the boy how he wants his hair. And I've heard that in some schools you even have to wear special SOCKS!!!!

Yeah, uniforms are pretty strict (no coloured hair bands for me, only green,black & brown)

This will probably be an unpopular belief, but I say no. School uniform makes us look smart and without it we could be bullied for our clothes. As for certain hairstyles being banned, I don't see why people are bothered. It's controversial to say it's unfair because they say looks don't matter. And evadore, I have to wear black socks and blue and navy striped ones for PE.

well you never know if the child knew the school rules or not ,he could have done a marathon for charity.

I don't see how the boy did anything wrong, it was for charity! I think some school uniform rules are ok, but some are just stupid! The school doesn't control his life - he can have his hair how he wants it, why should the school care if it's really short?

Definitely way too strict!!!!!! ??

My primary school was rather lenient with school uniforms. The school I'm in now is more strict but for some reason moans at people who don't wear the school jumpers but not those that wear hoodies at school. Launceston College seems rather extreme, though. They should've at least asked him why he did it. I thought most colleges didn't even have uniforms.

Yes! The school is very unfair! I f the boy wants to do something with his hair then he should be allowed to do it! It's even MORE unfair because it was for charity! The boy cut his hair off for a good reason and he was punished! UNFAIR!!!! :(

He was donating his hair to charity!!! and the hairstyle was not even that bad. its just a shave. my schools quite strict about uniform...BUT NOT THAT STRICT!!!

It is hair come on!!!! I think hair is going to far.

He was doing a good thing for charity, and the teachers punished him for something that didn't even matter! How on earth is that fair??!!

If I wanted to help with a charity and had to shave all my hair off, I wouldn't care what the teachers said. Some school uniform is very expensive and for someone to get all of the right clothes, that's a lot of money.

In my school if they see you without your shirt tucked in they will give you an order mark if you get 3 order marks you will get detention

Private schools are usually more strict than public schools like I can't have coloured hair bands and I have to have my hair tied up

Owly that is cruel

i agree with you guys. the boy made a wise decision. he could have just not cared about his friend at all and sat home and done nothing at all but he went a whole step futher and i think that was very VERY wise of him. and anyway the boy can choose how he wants to style his hair however he wants to style it for charity or not. but i think that the school did give him a warning and he chose to break it.

which was not wise of him.

so i don't really know.

Definitely! How you dress gives you freedom to express yourself and your personality.

People have their owe style and people should just let them be themselves. This is ridiculous as he was doing it for a VERY good cause to support his friend. There was nothing wrong with him shaving his head. The school was selfish to just automatically think he was breaking the rules instead of understanding what he was doing. I feel so sorry for the boy as he was only trying to do something good for his friend! A lot of school rules are too strict . Like, telling people they can only cut their hair a certain length. If they want long or short hair then let them have long or short hair!! ? just let people be themselves and don't control their personalities with silly rules!

School uniform makes us feel smart, gives us an identity. However this is unacceptable. The boy had his friend diagnosed with cancer, and all he wanted to do was raise some money. Unbelievable reaction. A definite YES

oops i just voted no when i meant yes

anyway i think that boy shouldnt of been punished because he shaved it for the right cause

ajmarks and unicorn21, I totally agree with you! But also banjoblaze as u could get bullied for your choice of clothes coz u choose them, you can't get bullied for uniform coz everyone wears the same thing.

I think no because if say you were on a trip with school you would need to be identified?

I hate school uniform!

Our school isn't so strict, but I think that is really unfair:(! He was only trying to help.

Our school isn't so strict, but I think that is really unfair:(! He was only trying to help.+

+++++++++++++++

It is so bad!!

I go to a very strict school and the rules are so pointless, you get sent home for wearing nail varnish ! That boy was just trying to do something good ?

It's pretty unfair that teachers ?‍? wear their own clothes to school and children can't.My teacher doesn't tie her hair back even though it's in the school rules.?????????????☹️???????????

I'm not really sure.in this case I'd say yes but in others,for example if someone was wearing loads of jewllry , I'd say know.But this time it's a big yes.they would have to have very harsh school rules if someone was doing it for a good cause.how unfair! :( ???✰✰✰✰

school uniforms are so strict!!!
its son unfair that the school punished him for shaving his hair of for charity!

Definitely, especially when you get to comp. In primary all you had to wear was a school jumper, then you could wear tracksuit bottoms and trainers. In comp you have to have a day in detention for wearing the wrong colour shoes. I do understand the scool needs to stay formal, but detention for wearing the wrong shoes? It's insane!

It's not fair on people who can't afford school uniform to be old off.

Uniform is too strict..
That boy should be proud of what he has done!!!!

why should school stop you from being yourself?
xx #hiya00

reference of banjoblaze : the boy was doing something good for charity , yes school uniform makes us look smart but schools punishing people for doing good things is just plain wrong

I think it's really dumb for that teenager to be told off for donating his hair for a good cause so yes, I think school uniform rules are too strict.

Though I like school uniforms and think they make you look smart, I believe schools are too strict. It's not fair on people, they can do what they like with their appearance. Also, for some poorer people it is an obstacle as uniform is ridiculously expensive!

school is there to teach u and give u a good education- not tell u how u should look!!!!!

i went to a uniformed school but now i go to a non-uniform 1
its so much better

I think the boy shouldn't of been in trouble because it was a good that he had done such an amazing thing for charity and he should bne supported by that

very strict

It's just stupid!! If a teenager is willing to shave his hair of, it's a good choice! It would help people who have cancer.

School uniforms are way too strict☹️In my school teachers say you aren't meant to tie up your hair with any colours that aren't blue or red, but you don't actually get told off if you wear them?

He was doing it for charity people! That should be allowed! Now my school has said our hair has to be tied up.

They are so uncomfortable!!!!!!!!

to strict uniforms!!!!!!

Well not with uniform, but that teacher was crazy.

He did such a noble thing and deserved to recognised and praised for it. The school should have listened to his reasons before judging him.

In my school they tell me off for wearing pink trainers (my favourite colours pink too) ☹️?

The school doesn't have the authority to punish the boy. It's up to him if he wants to cut off his hair.

I say no beacause it is not strict atall at my school you can were a summer dress ,trousers .clots and black socks or white or grey it is a lot safer so if you got lost your paiernts could look out for your school uniform it is over all safer and not strict.

Unfair he should have his hair how he wants.He shouldn't be told off for helping his friend and donating money to charity.

Does this school want their pupils to not think of others when they grow up. This boy has done a very kind and thoughtful thing and they punish him saying he broke rules but it wouldn't have raised as much money for charity if he had just had a haircut

He is only trying to help charity!

That's so unfair.He's just supporting his friend

Our school is ok about uniform it's so unfair he did it for charity

We are not allowed FANCY SHAMCY hairties!!!!??? A girl got told of for wearing earrings you could barely even notice!

I don't get why people are so strict. I mean I get that school uniform is good as some children have less expensive clothes and they are also so everyone looks the same. But they can't tell us what length to have our hair

I SAY NOOOOO

It is fine to shave hair for charity but it is not fair for school to put you in detention for charity

Seriously how short you have your hair is completely up to you not the school

Most school uniforms are not too strict but if the boy was giving his hair to charity then it was COMPLETELY WRONG to punish him for shaving his hair

Yes because he was just trying to help his friend.

Ugh!!! Why does his school needs to be exceeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeedingly strict!!!‼️‼️❗️‼️??????

It shouldn't really matter what school uniform is as long as you have the correct colour clothes!!! It's so stupid! That boy did it for a good cause!
#sunglasses

i think you should look smart but be allowed to shave your hair

There is nothing wrong with a someone cutting their hair for charity someone in my schol did it.

Thats just weird.

My school said we couldn't have a group of friends

School uniforms are strict and bad anyway!!!

Yes they are to strict

fun fact!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
its been proven that wearing school uniform actually helps you concentrate. if you wear homeclothes at school you don't actually concentrate as much!!!!!

School uniforms are fine!

It's not fair how the teachers can wear and do what they like, but children/young people are under these really strict rules!

I think that uniform is a good idea, but sometimes it can go way too far, like how it has turned out here.

the school shouldn't be bossed maybe he got punished because the school didn't know he did it for charity or they just don't allow short hair but that is still not fair!!!!

Obviously

My friend goes to a school where they have to wear these really thick blazers everywhere around the schools and outside unless it's in PE or you ask a teacher. Often when she asks the teacher they say no anyway!

Yes! The boy did nothing wrong and it's not like he was sporting an unnatural hair colour. I mean, what if having no hair is part of a religion? Uniform is smart and I understand we should have it, but he was cutting his hair for charity! Come on!

I agree with masterkash.

Taylor is great

I think it is unfair that he got punished because it is for charity so he should be allowed to wear what he wants so YES

i dont personally have uniform, but i don't think Taylor did any thing wrong.

I think that the school was wrong for removing him from class because of his hair length. He did it for Charity, for heavens sake!

YeS oBvIoSly

I think that at school you should where the same uniform but getting told off for hair is just stupid

That school is just mean! I would say otherwise if he wasn't donating to people with cancer, but if they're punishing him for helping someone with a sickness, that's just WRONG!!!

THIS is what I say to that school. :p

I feel that it was silly to give the boy that much punishment for helping a charity, although he might not have been scolded that much if he had been given permission. I feel pity for him, and his friend, whom probably feels guilty.

Yes! That poor boy did what he wanted to do and fora good cause. School rules shouldn't apply to trivial things like hairstyles. It's stupid. My school has a rule that says no hair accessories which aren't black, white, red or green. (school colours).

I think it's okay to be a bit strict, but if they're saying the uniform's bad if you're doing something good then that's stupid so yes

I Think it is OUTRAGOUS

Exactly,Prongsii. At my secondary school, you have to wear plain black hairbands and clips,which I think is unfair. There's no point in wearing uniform, schools shouldn't tell you how you should look.

So unfair ?

In my school they are particularly strict. For example we HAVE to buy specially made jumpers from a specific shop. We also HAVE to buy special PE hoodies AND football boots. My mum bought me a pair of football boots that were probably £30-£40 pounds and I have NEVER used them, so they probably don't fit. Completely useless.

It is for charity so come on don't be that silly! Teachers want us to raise money and that is stopping raising money!

Taylor didn't do anything wrong!?

Does hair affect the brain? No! He should NOT be punished!

I don’t have a school uniform so we can wear what ever we want to school

hair is someones property so no one should tell them what to do with it

He did it for a good cause! Why should he be punished for a good cause?!

He did nothing wrong!

????? Really they have lost their minds .Really hair .

Private schools are usually more strict than public schools like I can't have coloured hair bands only black and brown. and I have to have my hair tied up all the time even if it is short
