The Butt-Crack Caper

I wanted to start this blog out on a more lighthearted note so I decided to gripe. To understand this gripe I need to explain a little about the facility I am employed. It is both a juvenile detention and a juvenile shelter. One side of the facility is kind of like kiddy jail, while the other side houses kids who are part of the child welfare system. The kids in the shelter function much like children outside of the facility would. They wear their own clothes, and have some freedom.

This freedom and wearing their clothes is where the butt-crack caper begins...

I do not know about you, but I am amazed by some of the clothing that both genders choose to wear as teenagers right now. I know this statement ages me incredibly, and has been the argument of the generations for some time. However, my gripe is not about style. I do not care if its black or neon you feel like wearing. My gripe is not about baggy or tight, or even what rude saying you have bill boarded across your chest. Yes, I could complain about all of those things as well but honestly, the only thing that really bothers me is butt crack. Is it supposed to be sexy? I am constantly telling both the boys and girls in the shelter to pull up there pants and please do not bend over in front of me (yuck!).

What is the reason for someone wearing pants that expose half of their ass every time they bend, run, or sit? It seems rather annoying to both the butt crack bearer and the butt crack viewer. Moreover, why handing out belts would probably be a convenient solution, we cannot because some youth have tried to use their belts to hurt themselves or others.

So there you go... My top gripe is butt-crack! Cover it up, please.
