Boys' shorts getting too short

Lately, I have noticed on a number of occasions that boys here are wearing shorts that are way too short.

To cite an example: Recently, my teenage son showed me some photographs taken of his soccer buddies on his digital camera.

One group photo showed one of his friends, squatting in the front row, wearing very short shorts - so short that one of my young daughters, who saw the picture, exclaimed that the boy's private parts could be seen.

I then approached the boy in question and told him kindly not to wear such short shorts in future.

To my surprise, he made a rude remark in reply, which was very unbecoming of a student from a top secondary school here.

In my days during the 1970s, we would have been caned in front of the whole school for offences like indecent exposure and rudeness.

Schools here should teach their students to be mindful of how they dress in public.

What nonsense! Shorts were much shorter in the 1970s than they are now (and they looked much better for it, in my view).

in fact if their shorts are that short as u say,im proud of them.at least theyve shown the girls they havnt given up their rightful claim to shorts to the girls,who already hav skirts n miniskirts.if u wish to complain,do prioritise n target the girls' delibitating dressing first.ive seen sec girls after school change to those denim shorties in malls.
