READING LEVEL 4
Inappropriate Pants
by Nelleta Whyte
Nelleta Whyte attends classes at Literacy Partners in New York City.
There are many problems today with how this generation wears their pants. They wear their pants so big that they fall down below the butt. You can see all kinds of underwear. You can see the crack of their butt. They have to walk wide to keep their pants up.
They get this type of inappropriate style from prison.
Prisoners are not allowed to have belts, so their pants fall down.
I think if this generation wore their pants appropriately they would get more respect. It would be easier for them to get jobs. People would not judge them.
