Help us get our skirts back!

The Issue

I would like to bring back skirts to my school, Fareham Academy. The reason why I am starting a petition is because I don’t want to rebel and go against authority by just wearing skirts regardless. So my suggestion is I would like to bring a democratic approach to this and give students, parents and teachers a choice in the matter. If it was more a want amongst students then I would 100% happily wear trousers, instead of a forced decision by governors. I am 14 years old, and i been in secondary school for 3 years now & have only worn trousers twice in my school life, because they make me feel uncomfortable about my body. I have spoken to many girls, and many of them also feel uncomfortable wearing trousers. I do not wish to defy my head teacher or governors, I have a lot of respect for authority figures, I would just like to ask for a fairer way of making the decision. I have spoken to my parents before making this, and they are both supportive of it, as are my friends. Please sign and share this petition, it would mean so much to me and the girls of Fareham Academy. Thank you.
