A few years ago, a school forced a high school student in Japan from brown hair to dyeing their hair black. The incident caused a great stir and sparked debate. Since then, Japanese Twitter users have revealed some strange school rules they've encountered in their lives. with the hashtags #こんな校則いらない (We don't need these kinds of school rules.) and #ブラック校則 (rules of the “black” school).

Let's look at some of the most ridiculous ones below (it should be noted that these are not general rules, but rather Netizens in Japan shared some rules that were applied in the corresponding schools and that have left their mark ever since.):

• 1. Female students' underwear must be white. The girls meet in a separate room. The teachers unbutton their blouses and turn their skirts inside out to inspect them.
• 2. It is not allowed to wrap a scarf around your neck, even if you have a weak throat.while using a towel.
• 3. In the summer, even if it's hot at a school meeting, you can't cool down using a fan, your clothes, or your hands. Everyone tried to hold on, but one student fell to the ground in a fit.
• 4. The bicycle helmet that the school gives you if you ride a bicycle cannot be replaced, even if it breaks in an accident. The school tries to emphasize taking care of your helmet, since it's the only one you'll have. But it makes you wonder how much they value a student's life, asking them to wear a broken helmet until graduation.
• 5. As a woman, you are required to use tampons during your period when you have to attend a swimming class. If you choose to opt out, you'll have to take additional classes during the summer break and swim 500 meters. If you choose not to participate, you'll have to take additional classes during the summer break and swim 500 meters.
• 6. Regardless of the distance and the weight of your backpack, you have to walk to school, even if it takes more than 40 minutes. Also, you are not allowed to hydrate.
• 7. Wearing sheer pantyhose or white socks to school is fine, but black socks are not allowed for some specific reason.
• 8. Noise is not allowed during lunch preparation and during the last ten minutes of lunch. Otherwise, you won't have the option to order a second dish or order less food the next day.
• 9. You are required to join an extracurricular activities club.
• 10. Being barred from school every morning for having a perm and dark hair. After showing her certificate to prove her hair is natural, a girl was denied entry because she had darker skin.

Like all rules and regulations, their purpose is to bring order. But in some cases, they can seem overkill and redundant. Have you also faced any strange school rules?
