This is what happens when you set yourself apart from polite society:
Casey Engstrom, 19, graduated from Hubbard High School in 2007. He has since married Brittany, 17, who is still a senior at the high school. The young couple now lives a stone’s throw away from the high school with Casey Engstrom’s grandmother, but Casey Engstrom will not be permitted to attend any school dances with his new wife. Casey Engstrom has been informed that he is banned from such school functions because of skin-stretching jewelry in his lip and ears.
Yup: look like a freak, people will treat you like a freak.
As far as I’m concerned, that’s the easiest life lesson that Punctured Boy will ever learn.
And the school is perfectly within its rights to enforce its own dress/appearance code.
