Rejected petition Get rid of the school uniform as it's not the cause of bullying.
Rejected on
As I am a student at a high school I feel trapped, less free, hopeless, dull seeing the same dull uniform that we are forced to wear to apparently stop bullying but it doesn't, but instead make students feel more trapped ruining their creativity and motivation due to this trapped feeling.
Swedish schools have less amount of bullying and have better grades without uniform.
