Annoying Habits

For such a long time now I have being thinking that sagging was an ancient practice. I am surprised because the practice still existence and it has not lost its unique to rankle. There are a million and one belts in the market at affordable prices. Additionally there are clothes of different sizes in the market. There is no reason for some to consider belts as a luxury but they should all consider it as a necessity. Many youths have adopted the style where they wear jeans or trousers that sag so that they are exposing their inner wear and some part of their body. Some teenage girls have also joined the system because they are exposing their inner wears and mainly their G strings. The jeans or the trousers are worn in such a way that the upper top of the trouser is below the waistline and at times completely below the butt. Although many women may not consider wearing of low-rise jeans as sagging, for me it makes no difference because there is no better work to describe that style of dressing. This is not the generation where a child was bought for baggy trousers with the idea that they will fit in the in future. There have being varied ideologies and myths about the sagging. It is disgusting because it makes someone look as if they have diapers under their pants. From what I know; sagging has an ugly history that makes me wonder why the modern teenagers cannot use their common sense at least once. For the record, sagging began in the U.S jails. Belts were prohibited because they were perceived to be weapons or that they could be used by the detainees to commit suicide. It was then used this is by hip hop artists as a symbol of freedom, cultural rebellion or rejection of values. I came across an article that Dr. Mark Oliver of National American Medical Association was quoted. He explained that, sagging has also been associated with sexual disorders such as premature ejaculation, and erectile disorders. We all know for a fact that we cannot control what people think. However it always agitates unnecessary suspicions and people. For a moment I had been thinking that sagging would just be done on the streets, but what is worse, this habit has been extended to the last areas that would cross your mind. Those who sag have disrespected such areas like the church, mosques and schools. It is for this reason that every place has a specific dressing code that is what should be respected. For God’s sake nobody needs to see another person’s innerwear in a church or a school. This is a perfect epitome of constellation of social ills. If one does not respect themselves they should at least respect their own God. The church has not been accorded the respect and worth it deserves. This habit in schools has disrupted learning because it is seen as an act of competition on fashion. Schools have a uniform that should be respected by everyone irrespective of who they are. Besides, the use of uniform is supposed to prepare you to dress appropriately for life after school. Additionally, sagging tickles me wrong way when people use it to expose their tattoos and body arts. I am not against body arts and tattoos, but I feel if there is need it should not be on the waistline that we have to put efforts to show them off. I thought that inappropriate role models were the reason why many youngsters are too much into sagging, but I was wrong. There are other reasons behind such as ignorance and arrogance among the youth. They don’t want to know and accept why many people are against it but also for those who know, they are just brushing off the idea. I am not being a fashion police but I believe what one wears defines who they are. Sagging is a dangerous show of lack of respect to oneself and to others. Some clothes and body parts are not meant to be showed opt in the public, and if any one doesn’t follow this, it shows that they don’t value themselves. Sagging also freaks out the old people and is too offensive too. I also don’t like it when we blame the old people for getting concerned. Often they are considered as distasteful in the matters of fashion. Those who sag should at least appreciate that these old people have done more than enough to accept some cultural harbingers. However this behavior can be eradicated completely. One major way is by the use of common sense. One should be open minded when it comes to deciding on what types of clothes to go for. Moreover everybody should take responsibility of their body and respect their body parts. We should be aware of our bodies and acquire clothes that match our sizes. Parents should also be strict with their children by not allowing improper dressing at homes and be role models to the children. At schools the teachers should be stricter in the dressing code. Any students who sags their school uniform should face disciplinary actions. In curbing this annoying act, there should be anti-sagging laws that should focus on those who sag and who appear dressed like so in the streets. Finally the social media and other technology have facilitated in the rise of sagging. There should be blogs and pages on the social media that condemn this practice and shows that will aim at appealing to respectability and pragmatism on sagging.
