It is true that schools focus their attention on studying. School uniforms serve a number of important functions in schools. However, given the fact that they are an additional cost to students' families, care should be taken that the purchase and upkeep of uniforms is not an undue burden to less fortunate students. Some say that uniforms make the school boring due to lack of variety. However, this is not a good argument. When there is too much variety, it can lead to distraction. Not only will students be spending too much time decking themselves out for school every day but they will also be distracted by what their friends wear. This will take their attention away from what is important, that is, their studies. Having school uniforms would be beneficial to students' performance in school, as it would enable them to better their innate skills.

Parents are wonderful people. They always have the best interests of their children at heart and they will do anything to prevent their children from getting hurt. However, teenagers often think that parents do not understand them and they are unable to communicate with their parents. So these teenagers are rude to their parents and become utterly selfish at times. If teenagers are a bit more appreciative of their parents and try and put themselves in the shoes of their parents, they will then be able to know how their parents think and feel of their fears and dreams for their children. Friends too are wonderful to have. Good friends are always there for you, just like parents. But there are friends who may turn out to be bad influences and can lead you astray. Then there are friends who can inspire you and propel you to achieve great heights. So how do you distinguish the good from the bad? In this respect, young people must learn to think for themselves.
