1. what are some cons on school uniforms?

uniforms constrict the ability to show originality through clothing, also, I've seen a lot of girls pull they are skirts up really high and look pretty promiscuous which I think is a con, I do not want to see 14 year old girls dressed like that

2. I am a 15 year old boy and I like to wear my sisters clothing is it wrong?

Not wrong at all. Honestly. Society decides what is girl clothing and boy clothing and what is girl colors and boy colors. Defy society and wear what you want. It's not wrong, it's just clothing!

3. How much should you sell things in a garage sale?

I thought about this question for a while, and I think I sell things for around 87% less the original price. This goes for knick-knacks and clothing. I think toys would highly depend on volume. If you have a few big toys, go for a few bucks a piece. Now, if you have a toybox full, kids love a 25 cents a toy kind of deal. For kids, its always about how much they can get. Furnature like couches and sofas can be consitered haul away items. These can go for little to nothing in some cases. Although, as with all situations listed above, the age, quality, and demand will all play a factor in your prices. Just price things as you would selling junk to an *** on the street, haha.
