Sagging: Prison and Carat Diamond Stud
There he goes, walking down the street with a sparkling 20 carat diamond stud on his ear. He has perfectly straight pretty white teeth. It appears that he just came back from the barber shop getting a new fade. Perhaps he has a doo rag under his sports cap, a fresh shirt over a clean beater that looks like it just got out of the dryer. His shoes are brand named and spotless. But then he turns around and all his hard work on looking good goes down the drain. His pants below his butt revealing the designs, name brand of his underwear and the elastic on his boxers, tucked over his shirt. He pulls his pants up repeatedly because they start to drift down as he walks a perfect slow dip walk, so his pants don’t fall down together.
Sagging first originated in prison, where prisoners were not allowed to have belts for safety reasons. Belts were considered weapons to commit suicide or kill other prisoners. Since the prisoners could not wear belts, their loose pants would sag and fall onto the middle of the butt or straight to the floor. Rumors inside prisons said that whoever sagged was considered a homosexual. Only the men that wanted “it up the butt” sagged since they were sexually unsatisfied from so many years of being locked up.
Sagging pants has recently been detected as a crime in many states in America. Most cities in California, New York, Massachusetts, Georgia and Florida are arresting males if their pants are below their butt. This new trend among most young males carries a fine of five hundred dollars or a six month sentence to jail. Jamarcus Marshall, a 17 year old highschooler in Brooklyn tell us, “It is up to the person wearing the pants to decide where they should go.”
“I do not believe anyone should contradict the sagging of pants because it has become a trend over the years”, Jamarcus Marshall tells us. The victims of these trends are the people who have to look at young man’s underwear as they walk in an odd form to prevent their pants from sliding

    In the article "The sad truth about saggin' pants" by Judge Greg Mathis has open my eyes to some of societys flaws today. I never noticed how something as small as wearing the pants a certain way can have so much history along with it. When I seen the fashion of "saggin' pants" come into style I wasn't sure if should follow along with it because I wasnt sure where the style itself has come from along with others. Judge Mathis is right when he states his claim that todays socitey has no idea as to where the style has orginated from because if they did many of todays urban and suburban sociteys wouldn't dress the way they do. I feel as though nowadays with society becoming harsher people feel as though they need to dress the way do to fit in with a crew or gang because apperance these days means more than it should.…

    The definition of sagging pants is pants that are worn below the waist. This style has become popular to this generation. Sagging pants became a style to this generation by rappers. Some of this generation thinks it is cool to wear sagging pants. I beg to differ; I think it shows how immature and a lack of carrying yourself in a proper and appropriate way. What they don’t know is that sagging pants originally came from prison and in prison it showed to other males that you are available to the same sex. It really bothers me when I see some guys and even some girls copy this style. I think there should be a law that bans sagging pants. It is so inappropriate for anybody to walk around the streets with their…

    Many states have banned saggy pants inside of schools and most are against this style in public. Florida and Arkansas have passed laws restricting saggy pants from schools. Some people disagree and believe that it is “distracting” for students to sag their pants in school. Other communities have agreed but went further and passed on a “blanket ban” on wearing saggy pants anywhere. Other states have tried doing this (Louisiana and Virginia) but they failed to pass the statewide bans.…

    I looked at him very closely and examine on how much he has changed. His white hair is thin and combed over from one ear to the other, if the wind blew it would stand up tall, waving like he was surrendering. Dried sweat stains outlined each crease in his fat rolls, there's a pungent odor of feta cheese. The skin under his eyes has a yellowish tint, and the rest of his face has red spider veins. Large pores clogged with filth speckle his nose, and bushy black hairs curled up the corners of his nostrils, matching the wiry strands poking out his ears. As he closed his call, I shouted his name “Sam!”. He looked at me and had a depressing smile and shouted out Brett !…

    His mind started to get more and more blurred, and distorted as he thought about them more. Going deep into his mind was jumping into a river of confusion, each path leading into different possibilities of never ending direction, so he stopped, to prevent another case of deep thought that would have lasted for multiple days. The folk music continued to play as he got out of his ramshackle bed, his sweatpants sparked against the fuzzy and oil stained sheets, (luckily not starting a fire again). It was mandatory for workers to get ready properly in the morning, and check to see if they are clean and professional each morning, as to not disturb any potential customers. He was a worker, but since the customers could not see him, as the box was too dark to easily see anything inside, he did not have to get ready, but he did anyway. He thought getting ready was fun! He treaded over to the mirror, which was slightly cracked and distorted, and gazed at his visage. His dark metallic coating gleamed in the looking glass, and he noticed that he was slightly damaged from all the work that he has done so…

    I can still remember the day I met him, it was an October day just like any other October day. After school I was at my friend’s locker, she waved to someone I couldn’t see. That’s when I turned around and I saw him. I looked at him top to bottom, starting with the the hair. It was long, pushed back under a purple and black fedora. Then I made my way to his clothes, an oversized grey sweater zipped up and over a bright purple shirt and a pair of plain blue jeans met the floor next to his Converse. I couldn’t believe my eyes. He was the ugliest thing I’d ever graced with my presence. Greasy blonde hair kept under an old unwashed hat and oversized clothing that fit an oversized body. He was disgusting, and yet I couldn’t keep my eyes off him.…
