I ripped them out because I didn't trust my mum to cut it out completely. I was afraid the cut would create a sharp edge which would be even worse.

I still wince at the few times I'd ripped a hole in a new shirt...

Still unbearable but a lot more cautious after I ripped a cheap shirt in half a few months ago hahaha.

EDIT: To note, I wasn't considered gifted. Undiagnosed ADHD. Teachers complained I couldn't finish writing the date and was lazy...

Wow. I too feared the sharp edges created when my mom cut the tags out of my shirt, wasn't considered gifted AND had ADHD. There is no way that's a coincidence. Someone needs to study the link between ungifted children with ADHD and their position on incomplete shirt tag removal.

I don't know. Isn't this something all kids do? My brothers all hated the tags and so does my daughter.

I think tags on kids clothes are just comparatively gigantic. I always thought most kids just dealt with it to avoid getting in trouble.

So spoiled! I had to cut out my own tags.

Totally privileged.

Tags? You aren't smart enough. I hated new clothes themselves.
