Steve5380 Posted February 21, 2021 Report Share Posted February 21, 2021 In my days, high school students used long pants of course, and... coat and tie. Long pants vs. short pants was my experience a few days ago, when with the deep freeze in Texas I put on long underwear for the first time in many years, and kept it on for several days. But I didn't have any opportunity to exhibit it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe it would be different had I gone to another JC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Often I see them covering their frontal or bathing with closed doors in pools. But older people have no qualms about exposing themselves. So the young likes to have more clothing to cover themselves, and the aged likes to have less to cover themselves. I suppose there are less inhibitions if you have seen more of the world such that there is nothing new under the sun. at that age i think they are just insecure with their appearance and identity, for teens at secondary school age they are in between being a child and young adult. Of course they will want to faster join the ranks of young adults hence why they cant wait to get long pants, so they will join the status of the grown ups. Our sg system has it that way lah. I think it was insecurity about what outsiders and public will perceive us...for most guys is what the girls will think. Because within school it was not an issue when the whole class/school wears shorts but many of us felt awkward when we step out of school. We dont want to look like a kid especially if we are already as tall as adults! Anyway that was how I felt last time at sec 2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hate cold weather. And 42 deg. F is not even freezing temperature. This is why Americans who live in the north travel in the winter to Miami or other places in Florida to escape the ice and snow. It was unusual in Houston to have ice and snow, and to make things worse, electricity went off due to the miserable installations of power generation in this alleged "capital of the energy" .

Dylus24710 Posted November 11, 2021 Report Share Posted November 11, 2021 Man, I miss the days when school shorts were shorter. I remember when I was in sec 1, we were transiting into the longer style but there was this one dude in sec 2, going through puberty, who was still wearing the super short kind. Really stood out among his friends Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G_ZK Posted November 11, 2021 Report Share Posted November 11, 2021 On 6/11/2016 at 8:34 PM, Guest 72%dark said: When I was in school, when we reached Sec. 3 and were allowed to wear long pants, no one wanted to wear shorts anymore. Upper sec boys never chose to wear shorts unless forced to by laundry circumstances. I guess at that point in our lives, on the cusp of adulthood, we wanted to feel more grown up, we clung to it as a marker of ‘higher status’ that set us apart from the lower sec kids. In our youth, just one or two years of difference in age felt like a big deal; it felt good to be seniors. (In fact, our teachers would berate us from time to time for having a “long pants mentality”—thinking we were so grown up even though we were actually still so immature.) I don't recall the relative attractiveness of shorts/long pants being a consideration then, even though I vividly remember this period of my sexual awakening and always being aware of the male bodies around me. I guess the sexual gaze can be attuned to whatever clothing the object of the gaze is wearing; I remember noticing male VPL, noticing subtle shadings of skin tone under the sometimes translucent uniform fabric... And of course there was always PE lesson for revealing skin... agrees. somehow there is this sense of ego when we switched to long pants after end of sec2. guys in boy school can be quite self conscious too. most of us cant wait to wear it for CCA during December holiday. shorts were quite awkward in sec2, as some started having hairy legs and many sporty one starts having larger thighs, making the short feels too tight. also feels better when we hang out in nearby malls. also because our shorts and long pants are different in colour, the long pants do look a lot better aesthetically.

Dart Posted November 11, 2021 Report Share Posted November 11, 2021 Our secondary school uniform was white shirt with navy green pants. I was on short pants in lower forms and long pants in upper forms. My long pants were ready made and they looked horrendous. The other guys who got their pants tailored looked just terrific. My parents wouldn't invest much on my pants then. fab 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
