Homecoming Dance Persuasive Speech

282 Words2 Pages

For some girls, finding a dress was one of the hardest parts of getting ready for Saturday night’s Homecoming dance. Every year, girls face the pressure of finding a dress, shoes to go with it, and the perfect hair and makeup. Senior Malayna Oswald said that there is a burden on girls to look perfect for Homecoming. “There’s an expectation to have a certain dress," said Oswald. “You don’t want to wear the wrong thing." Junior Stacy Ducheny agreed. “You want to look good and you don’t want to have something someone else has," she said. Sizing is also an issue. Not being able to find a dress that fits properly is a diminishing of self confidence. “I don’t like trying on a bunch of dresses and having none of them fit” said senior Megan Winter.

    Michael, Do we purposely post or openly discuss things that are offensive or hurtful to you, openly criticize you, your family, or the Liberal, Progressive policies and the idiocy associated with those beliefs and policies? That flag, by the way, is a battle flag, even warriors have respect for one another after the battle is over. Nations pause to bury the dead and return the remains of the deceased. When Robert E.

    You might be thinking about the schools that rich kids go to in movies and TV shows or you might be thinking about Catholic schools with small children all wearing the same colored school uniforms. This is probably what most people imagine. We associate uniforms with students of foreign countries and private schools. Thoughts of students dressing in school uniforms have led to stereotyping and a gloomy outlook on schools pushing for a uniform policy.
