Hey, so i'm 16 and i'm in secondary school in Ireland. I think this is basically high school in america if you want a comparison. I wanted to point out an issue i've always wondered but never got a straight answer for. Basically, nearly all schools in the country don't allow boys to wear ear rings or jewelry. However, they DO allow females. I remember back when I was a kid, I asked one of the teachers why this is and he said something like "Why? Do we have a girl under that body?" Everyone laughed, including me because I was young.

Does this type of thing only exist in Ireland or elsewhere too?
