[quote=Daquan13;97394]Of course, I think we all know where this practice came from; The rap singers, mainly Tupac Shakur before he was murdered.

They wouldn't look so bad though, if the kids kept them clean!
Some of them look so dirty, that it's pathetic.

I once saw an obese 13-year-old boy wearing them, and his butt was actually showing above them as he sat down!! I wanted so bad to ask him to hide his butt. I was too afraid to for fear that he might start a war. He more than likely would have stirred up controversy! Who knows whether or not if he didn't have a gun or knife in his pocket?

Now if I were to ask him to pull up his pants, he probably would have ask why am I looking at his butt when I couldn't help BUT notice it while he was sitting. Then he would have proceded to make a scene in front of everyone, start accusing me of trying to pick him up.

Hey Daquan
You seemed to have cover all the areas of defence in your possible approaches, and I am but sure they apply. So many kids need attention and love..they are starving for it..we live in a generation of parents ( not all ) who say do as you will, become what you want..and no rules. God knows these kids need discipline and assurance to really feel alive and whole, so many of us parents have dropped the ball here. They will do almost anything, wear anything to feel accepted. I see it all over to, and I must say, the females are exotically attractive like magnets, however I do not condone that type of clothing, its putting these young women into a more than likely predicated danger of sorts. I seldom see guys who actually show the buttox area, just where you see their shorts. I think they are less apt to be this confronting in their attire. We did have a day as well when we too were ( riska ) remember? but todays world is different than yesterdays world, we too were the bump in the road that had parents aloof to why we wore what we did and did what we did. The apparel is much more extreme..who knows what may come around again, maybe the 60's look, anything goes...I never did see where the jeans that had the buttox yanked out and skin showing surfaced, wait till they gut up and do this..two buns literally hanging out for all to see,,that was about 10 years ago when it was thought to happen.
