I tip my hat to the younger members here who have no qualms about wearing a kilt to school. The respect I have for you is immense. I certainly wasn't secure enough to do it when I went to HS in the late 70's. Like pdcorlis said in his post, I didn't have the foggiest idea of who I was back then, and the less attention I drew to myself the better. Now, at almost 43 years of age, I just don't care what others think of me. I dress for "me" now.
