Thanks for your question Maddie. The current School District Policy is quite broad and reads as follows:
1. ACCEPTABLE CONDUCT INCLUDES THE FOLLOWING:
STUDENTS ARE EXPECTED TO:
a) Respect themselves, others, and property.
b) Attend school regularly and be punctual for all classes.
c) Engage in purposeful learning activities and set high standards for personal achievement.
d) Show consideration for diversity: the thoughts, feelings, and heritage of others.
e) Use electronic systems in a respectful, responsible, and ethical manner.
f) Conduct themselves in a polite, respectful, and co-operative manner.
g) Dress in a manner that appropriately reflects a school environment.

If you are facing a situation where you are being body shamed or mistreated by a the application of a policy, I would like you to take that up with your principal. If you don't feel the school principal is dealing with matters appropriately, you and your parent/guardian can move this matter all the way up to the school board.

A good case can be made for providing students with a school uniform. It would be a simple way around all the issues inequality and discrimination and a dress code that is difficult to define.
Also to consider is that a supplied school uniform will take a lot of pressure of poorer families that struggle to buy the "back to school" cloths in order to fit in with the student body.
A school uniform would be a great equalizer.

Thank you for your question, Maddie. I believe that boys of all ages need to learn to accept the beauty of the female form without objectifying it. Also, we need to stop telling young men to "man up." As well as encourage them that men come in all shapes, and sizes, not just the superhero body type from your favourite Marvel movie (same goes for women). In addition, I support resources, programs, and initiatives like SOGI 123. https://www.sogieducation.org/
