Dont' blame the parents, blame the designers that are selling them the clothing.

I know that throughout middle school, we had incrediable trouble with our dress code and wearing shorts.

PLACE DID NOT SELL SHORTS THAT WENT TO SIX INCHES OVER THE KNEE.

I imagine it's worse now.

Although a good many of us just gave up wearing shorts and wore jeans all the time, or just wore boyshorts.
