Gary, Indiana Teens Want Law Banning Saggy Pants

No one wants to see your underwear, please pull up your pants.

We have all seen it. Maybe some of us have done it... I'm talking about the trend of sagging pants.

I think it's stupid. I do not want to see your underwear, nor should I be forced to.

Walking in the mall, standing in line at the bank, or even when I'm driving I have seen my fair share of sagging pants.

I don't want to see your plaid boxers, I don't want to see your tighty-whiteys and I don't want to spend the next three hours trying to figure out how it was possible to wear pants that low and not have them fall off.

Yet, regardless of my feelings on sagging pants, what you wear is a reflection of who you are. If you decide to dye your hair purple, if you want to pierce your nose, or if you want to sag your pants shouldn't be up to the law. Or should it?

Teens in Northwest Indiana are asking the City Council to endorse an ordinance requiring community service for those under 18 who wear sagging pants in public.

The Gary Youth Council are hoping to take up the proposal as soon as February. According to WREX, council vice president Ron Brewer says the ordinance could also apply to adults who would be assessed fines for violations.

I think this is fantastic! What do you think!?
