Get Over Yourselves

Hey guys, its me again, your beloved MeelahJ with something to blow your mind. It seems that there have been problem in Rhodesville with some school kids and the staff of the school. Apparently these kids want to change the school colors on their uniform from orange and blue to black, orange, and blue. The administration feels that this is wrong because not only will the girls volleyball team and soccer team be breaking school tradition but also they'd be promoting gangs since some gang's colors are black and blue. 

Honestly this whole situation is kind of silly. First of all black, orange, and blue is too much together, too much color on one shirt, and also how can u try and break a tradition. Maybe the girls didn't realize that once a tradition is broken, its sort of not a tradition anymore. The school needs to just stand it's ground regardless of what these parents and kids say and stick to what they know which is that those colors would cause problems.

These girls are upset because they feel that orange and blue aren't jazzy enough for them and they want to spice up their uniforms. They say they don't care about the whole gang violence situations. Nellie Bly, and senior at the school commented saying, " Why would I care about gang colors? It's all about what looks good and our fall volleyball shirts were tough." Regardless of whether people you are around care about it or not the fact still stance that somewhere 1 1/2 to 2 hours away from you those colors stand for something that we all should be against and as the volleyball team captain said, "We cannot allow ourselves to be perceived as something we are not." The parents of these girls feel the same way they do. They believe that there is no need to worry about gang violence in their "beloved" Rhodesville. As it seems there are others who beg to differ.

Even if the administration did let this pass and they did change the colors, what about the rest of the school? Would they have to change their colors? What if the football team didn't like the idea of switching, then what? What if that started a riot in the school. These things need to brought into consideration before even suggesting something like this. This was a very selfish and inconsiderate thing for the volleyball and the soccer team to suggest and no change to the school's colors need to be made. Blue and orange are jazzy enough without black being added to the mix. Get over yourselves!
