No one else seems to have a problem with it so why do you..? Especially with skirts. Why are you looking there anyway, all of us wear shorts underneath so what's the issue 💀 Also they don't let u go to the toilet in lessons AT ALL. They used to, but now they think everyone that needs to go is doing it to skip lesson. NO? Some of us actually NEED to go to … *(Sep 2023)*
