  1. Well, to most people fashion is everything. It's a way to express their personality. There's nothing really bad about fashion i guess it's way for people to express themselves without actually saying anything. And also of course their unique styles :)

    1. Well, the problem is that fashion is everything. It shouldn't be that way since their self-esteem gets over taken by fashion. A person's self-esteem shouldn't be based on fashion.
      Also when you talk about the unique style people display, I don't think too many people do that. It's more as if we are following people/ society/ models fashion rather than our own unique one.

  2. Well fashion is a terrible thing because it define people and judge them by their clothes.Really it's a waste of time cause you judge people by their self not item or footwear."It's life fool gold,people see fashion as a big deal but really it's based on nothing.The foundation and principal of fashion is so easily unstable but people still believe in it.why?It's because people are blind,they don't see past thing and item,but what they must truly see is the person itself.

    It affects BHJMS by the uniform.Fashion is so high and mighty that it causes dresses code to fall down and crumble.Fashion is so high and mighty because people make it that way.There believe in it sooo much that it get's bigger and bigger until everyone is following it.

    1. I definitely agree with you. However, by reading your answer I think that you are talking about fashion directed by society. How about the fashion of your own unique style?

    2. fashion is not terrible it is just getting people addicted.

      Delete
    3. Yes, it makes people want more and more and there is no end to it. You start almost craving for more cloths. This obsession will waste your money and take you to a circus making you mentally sick.

    4. exactly it gets to a point in were fashion is the world to the person

    5. to Aniqer first question.some people don't have a style because they follow the "fashion train" so really fashion changes you're own style and make people question you're style of clothes,footwear,hats e.t.c

    6. Peoples 'style' is shown in many different ways, or example, some people would show themselves out by being expressive of their thoughts. Not so many people used to rely on fashion like they do now. It's purely unoriginal, and because of not being like others you are called an hipster.

      Delete
    7. Exactly. So now if you don't join the fashion you get judged and critic about what you wear

      Delete
  3. There really isn't good or bad in fashion. Many people think it's great, because now everybody can have their own unique sense of style, but some others, take the parents for example, may think that it's a waste of time to try and put clothes together. Everybody has a different point of view in fashion.

    1. What is your point of view in fashion?

    2. well fashion changes when i was a kid the fashion was something like jean jackets which look so tacky if a guy wears it now.

  4. I think fashion is a bad thing. People get judged for what they wear while you have thousands of people wearing the exact same thing because it's "in fashion" and you can't tell them anything. If you wanna be in all black all the time, that's okay, if you only wear band shirts, so be it! A pereson shouldn't be judged for who they are, because what we wear does describe us.

    1. I agree with you, but in one way or another you are still in your own fashion. The one who wears black all the time or band shirts has a unique and comfortable style of fashion that suits them

      Delete
    2. As I was saying above, I believe there is two sorts of fashion. One is what SOCIETY expects while the other is what YOU feel comfortable with.

      Delete
    3. In some ways fashion an help you, for example, if you come to school in a USPA shirt, Levi's pants, and nikes, someones going to notice it and quickly express their opinions on the brand name clothing that you are wearing. You might think that it's a bad thing at first but, if you think about it, you like the appreciation that you get from others.

  5. For some people fashion means a lot because they can express themselves. But for some fashion isn't very relevant. So it all depends on your view of fashion. If you want to express yourself then you can wear the kind of clothes that express you. But some people that are very into fashion may drop a lot of $$$ on clothes.

    1. Is dropping all that money on clothes worth it or not? For some reason in my opinion, I believe it wouldn't be worth it. However, if someone said it would be worth it, why would they say so?

      Delete
    2. I agree that yet, the $$$ is dropped on the clothing, the social appearance of the person is purely judged on the way that they tend to dress. It is arguable if using hard owned money on such things are worth it or not, both sides are almost equally favored.

  6. I think fashion is a good thing. It's the first thing you notice about a person. It also should somewhat reflect your personality.

    BHJMS dosnt nessaserly have a uniform we have a dresscode meaning that we can be free but also have our bounderies.

    1. i agree but without uniforms a random stranger can come here and who know what he/she will do?

    2. So in the first few lines, are you saying that we can judge a person by their cloths? I mean I understand what you mean because, I sometime do so too. However, a really good person with a good sense of fashion may be wearing bad clothes due to not being able to afford it. Would that be a good idea to judge them by their clothes?

      Delete
    3. I definitely agree with you in the last lines. Although we have a limit to our clothes by a dress code, we are still free to wear clothes under those colours. One might wear a skirt, long sleeve, half sleeve, pants, shorts, dress, and much more. In one way or another you can still express your feelings.

  7. Fashion effects BHJMS because we are a uniform school. So for the people that like to express themselves from fashion, can't really. But for parents it's good because they don't have to drop that much money on their kids clothes for school.

    1. Well, actually they can express their feelings. A girl who may have the styles of a tomboy would wear pants and a simple shirt, when another girl with girly girl style would wear a frilly black dress. I guess the colour coding and appropriate dressing limits fashion a bit but, you can still express your self.

      Delete
  8. well I believe fashion is a good thing since it can help us express ourselves in order to fit in. But some people really want to fit in, and their parents cant afford expensive cloths so fashion is a good thing but it shouldn't be mandatory..................rest I'll write later its French time.

    1. What if someone expresses their feelings but, don't fit in? Some people are bullied for what they were but, that is simply how they want to express themselves. Fashion doesn't necessarily make you fit in.

  9. I think fashion is not a good thing even if a lot of people say its a good thing it can cause problems if some kind of fashion trend is "in" and you and someone wears the same thing on the same day especially girls they will get mad. Also, it can be the other way around if some one isn't wearing something like everyone is, for example if someone is wearing sketchers and everyone else is wearing Nikes and Jordans you would be made fun of.

  10. When I think of fashion, I think of the 'Extreme super models with enormous amount of MAKE-UP wearing cloths that you wouldn't probably see someone wearing on the streets in your everyday life'. This mindset of mine, directs me to a negative opinion of fashion. However, I still think fashion is somewhat good but, mostly bad.
    Fashion is a way to express our feelings. You can show your favourite colour using everyday fashion, you can look nice and proper everyday, and you might find things that goes with you while others does not look good on you. You can keep up with the 'level of society' if you would like. In a way, fashion keeps you up and bright and might as well make you feel good. Now that is the PROBLEM.
    Boosting your self-esteem with fashion isn't a stable idea. Your self-esteem is on the risk and will break and crumple in minutes by chance. You can't depend you mood and feelings on how you look because, your looks are only TEMPORARY. Another way your self-esteem can break is when these small incidents of bullying turn into a big thing. Many people are bullied due to the clothes they wear. Fashion can easily separate a group of people by who is wealthy, while one cannot afford such clothes.By society, it seems that it somehow has rules and regulation to keep within to look "fashionable". Instead of wearing what your heart, mind, moral, and values direct you to... you were what society tells you to. Sometimes inappropriate fashion is created by society and is something that you shall not follow.
    Fashion is something that you need more and more of. After a period of time you need to buy new clothes so you can keep up with fashionable clothing. There isn't an end to it. Your money is gone on clothes and is wasted when so many other kids around the world can't afford a single outfit. Fashion gets you obsessed and addicted.
    Fashion effects BHJMS by a few different ways. We are limited to fashion due to our school dress code. In a way, we don't really end up thinking too much about our clothes. Well for all I know, I wear various shirts and pants by switching them day to day. We don't look all fashionable all the time however, we still look different expressing our ways.

  11. it effects BHJMS because we have uniforms and some people break the rules so they can look good. And since we cant wear other clothes parents have to drop the uniform at school and waste time from work so fashion does effect BHJMS.

  12. fashion has it's own values and benefits for people such as making them more beautiful. now a days , people are paying alot of attention to fashion and i think this is a very good thing because,fashion makes people more attractive.on the roads, a girl dressing in fashionable cloothes always more attention of people than one in outdated outfit,this is because as human beings , we all want something new rather than boring. and fashion in this case, contributes alot to the beauty of people. it makes them more pretty.fashion makes our world an interesting place to live in. if fashion did not exist,the world might be a dull place where all people wore the samething with same color. i believe that the special attention of people is reasonable nd needed to be encouraged. it is because fashion contribues alot of better peoples appearence, to create a colourful world.

    At BHJMS i don't think there is even fashion because you see everyone in the same kind of color and the same thing wearing everyday, which makes them so dull because everyone do get tired by wearing the same thing over and over again.. and i don't think that is even called FASHION..

    1. You said that fashion attracts people on the roads, and you also said that it creates attention. But, you said this is a good thing, how is getting random people on the street talking to you, getting attracted to you a good thing? Well, doesn't everyone try to avoid unwanted attention? It doesn't make sense for unwanted attention on the road to be a good and positive thing.

  13. Fashion is not a bad thing but it issnt really that great either.Fashion is bad because its just another word for people judging what you wear,if your not inn fashion your not pretty or you have a bad reputation really that is not true fashion is not imoportant, what mattters most is the way you want to represent yourself

  14. What is the real fashion? Is it dressing the way you like or is it dressing the way to fit in? Many state it’s the way to express yourself but is it really? NO. Fashion is just another way to get judged and bullied. Fashion isn’t what it was 20 years ago, it’s now become a strict part of our life that we all want to complete. Fashion has become another 3 grade journal topic that they need to write out and complete but not how they want to but how the teacher wants it, the same way they need to have a complete outfit just the way the “new fashion” is because certain clothes make you fit in and be an A+.. in clothing and friends. Many say it’s a lie but is it really? Recently the news on the CEO of Abercrombie and Fitch stated that they only make clothes for nice skinny popular kids its all about looks to them and theres nothing wrong with that because that’s what pays their bills and brings food on their table. Which taps into the topic of “perfection, and ideal girl and boy…

    1. Do you think temporary self-esteem brought up with fashion is better than self esteem that lasts that is hardly worked for?

  15. : With fashion it depends on the person. Fashion can't be good or bad because every person should have their own style. I love fashion and will become a fashion designer eventually so it is extremely good for me. Any hobby can be expensive and I know that for sure. People can go to thrift stores and shop and look as glamorous as a fashion model as long as their style is shown. For some people, they may not care as as much for fashion so they won't put as much work in to their style or show a passion for it. It all depends. The answers of each individual may vary.

  16. I really dislike the "fashion" today, It just makes everybody look the same. why would you want 50 billion versions of you walking around? Not to mention the "fashion" is in bad taste. Its all just stupid hats, tight shirts, basketball shoes, and saggy pants. no doubt this "fashion" is influenced by pop and poor music. I find it rather shallow that we base our life and personality off of magizenes and trends.

    If you look at the girls in grade 8 BHJMS, you can see that the girls are wearing the same thing; Tight pants, Tight shirts, Basketball shoes, and ugly sloppy buns that are made in bad taste. they look like someone copy pasted every girl! and the guys have; saggy pants, basketball shoes, stupid hats, and they have their one ear pierced. I have seen that if you do not follow these trends in school, you will be cast out and called names.

    the good thing about fashion is that it doesn't stay, and changes frequently. im still waiting for people to start wearing bowties and brightly coloured sockes.

  17. Fashion doesn't really affect BHJMS because we are a uniform school, but people can get mad that they cant wear their clothes at home instead of wasting money on uniform clothes, just pick out clothes form your closet. Also, people wouldnt be able to express themselves.

  18. To me fashion is a good thing.But people defines it as the urge & power to follow every trend and style.If not your not in fashion.But honestly fashion is not about keeping up with societys standards.Its about creating your own sense of style anf being comfortable in your own skin.So having everyone wear identical similar clothes is in style,but if that one individual decides to distinguish themselves different from others they get judged,yet they tell us to be our selves.Throughout fashion we should be able to express ourselves,our feelings our,mood etc.Not try to be someone we aren`t.Sure we all want to keep up with trends seeing what our friends and celebs are wearing but really you want to keep up with everything.It`s great that we do but whos got all tht money to keep up with everything.You want to risk your morals,values,self reputation just to keep up,well okay.Before fashion was about creating your own sense and being cofortable in what your wearing but now all these people want to keep up with societys standards.But for me fashion is about being in trend according to what you desire,not others,nor society,just yourself.

    1. It affects beaumonde big time.We might have a dress code, its not a uniform.So atleast we can wear anything black or white.So many try to look our bests everyday and sometimes its like girls,are competing against others to look better.Thugh we have a dress code not everyone bothers to stay in it.75% of the school is never in full dresscode. everyone is in their own style and fashion.No one bothers to keep up.

  19. I think that fashion is good to an extent,you could tell why I'm saying this,erm... Lady Gaga's meat dress. I think that clothes are what define us, like very 'cool' girls would wear very expensive and brand name clothing. It's a way of showing yourself out, and that is sometimes a good thing. But hilariously, fashion can also ruin your life. An example of an instance of which it can is, when you come to school in maybe your worst clothing because your parents are cleaning your clothes.

    People are going to judge the way you do things that day. Maybe they wont be so harsh but, they wont go light either. I think that fashion can go out of control at times, clothing malifuntions and incidents happen due to the clothing that the people wear.

  20. Fashion affects BHJMS because we here have a so called uniform which is actually known as a dress code and since we have dull colors like black blue and white a lot of people find it difficult to wear different outfits and dress nicely and brightly soo its kinda difficult for students at beaumonde to be in fashion with almost the same clothes every school day of the week.Teachers on the other hand can be in fashion all the time at school since they have no uniform or dress code like us .
