High school is challenging for everyone — in addition to all the school work, it’s a time of emotional turmoil for most teens.

Not only do teens have to deal with all of their own hormonal rollercoaster, they have to learn to navigate the adult world.

For many, this is a time of experimenting — with different friends, different hobbies, and different clothing choices.

Some teens love dressing up and wake up early to put extra effort into their outfits, while others just roll out of bed and go to school.

Unfortunately, many high schools go a little bit overboard when it comes to regulating “inappropriate” clothing. Teens — usually girls, like Bailee Freeman — often get sent home because the schools think that what they’re wearing is “inappropriate” for school.

In 2015, Macy Edgerly was a senior at Orangefield High School in Orange, Texas. She went to school one day wearing a comfortable outfit, but was shocked when teachers deemed it “inappropriate” and sent her home.

Macy’s older sister, Erica, wrote about what happened to Macy (pictured right) on Facebook back in 2015, and her post instantly went viral.

Erica’s post was shared over 95,000 times on Facebook.

Erica shared an image of the supposedly offensive outfit that her teenage sister wore to school, a long color-blocked tunic and capri-length leggings.

Erica wrote:

Today, my sister was sent home from school for wearing the clothes in the picture below. 

And I’m sorry but I have to stand up for my family and for women who are degraded and judged for their bodies and clothing everyday.

People wonder why women feel insecure about their bodies or what they wear… 

And it’s because you’re told your clothing is inappropriate when you’re completely fully clothed, even when you’re not showing cleavage or anything.
