My school has never given me much of a problem. My public school (up to mid 8th grade) used to be fairly..unhappy about it. Now, thankfully, I attend a private school. While the dress code may be much more strict (uniforms), I managed to convince them to leave me alone. How? By volunteering in the library, baking and cooking for them, and being polite to the point of Victorian.
I'm basically regarded as a slightly insane kitten, and no one blinks an eye at 7-inch patent vinyl boots anymore. It's fairly exclusive, though, as I'm the only one able to get away with it. I just smile at them if they say anything vulgar.
I'm fairly lucky, I suppose. In my previous school, my father and I had to manipulate like crazy for them to leave me alone.
