Delta Devil,
You are assuming a lot to be a child of 19. Yes, you are legally an adult in the eyes of the law, however, by your comments, your thinking tends to be that of a child.
When you become grown, you have to learn how to dress for both your age and where you are working. I mean, I don't think that you would appreciate seeing one of your female professors dressing in a mini skirt and a tube top with high heeled shoes trying to teach you about philosophy. Again, it's a matter of being able to dress where you are working and your age.
At 19, yes, you may see some people dressing this way or that, but a) don't believe the hype and b) don't assume that this is what EVERYONE in that area does. Because ultimately, it will invaribly show your lack of common sense and your lack of maturity.
Yes it is letting kids dress how they want to dress, however, it goes back to HOME TRAINING! Just because your friends are dressing in XZY fashion doesn't mean that you HAVE TO as well.
When you step out of your home, the way that you dress does tend to reflect what is going on in YOUR home. If your parents don't care what you dress in or what you look like when leaving the house, then hey, believe me, folks do assume that your parents haven't given you ANY home training.
When I was growing up, we didn't have the most money in the neighborhood, but yet when I left that door, I was clean, had my clothes on right, and looked like I had some sense. When I moved to the country, we still didn't have the most money in the world, but yet, when I left the house, I was clean, my clothes were hole free, and I looked like I had sense.
The whole point is that in dressing, it reflects who you are and what you are WILLING to be about. Dressing to sag seems to reflect that you aren't about jack diddly squat and at 19, you SHOULD know better, but then that goes back to what's your HOME TRAINING?
