Wearing uniforms not only decrease(s) bad behaviour in schools, but makes students value their classmates in an appreciative way also.

| So nice to see you are here now, Kitos. This is my first time to meet you here. Then what about the rest of the paragraph? |

The remainder is faultless IMO.

| But...I mean if you write it yourself, would you use the same sentence structure or words and phrases as I did? Actually I'm not so confident in my expressions and my goal is to be recognized as a native speaker through a piece of writing, not just to make a sentence without a grammar mistake... So please be strict with me, Thank you, Kitos. |

Although (they) we do not mean to (do so), it is usually the case that a large number of people (tend) used to judge others by their (outward) appearance.
If one student dresses well, he gives others the impression of being well educated and wealthy, (thereby) improving his chances of becoming the center of his circle (of friends/associates).
In the same manner, other boys will surely be (influenced) stimulated to imitate that student in order to appeal to pretty girls by (their immaculate appearance)) the handsome garb.
However, is that the right way to know a person?
We are supposed to make friends according to their morals, loyalty, mentality and other (personal characteristics) inner characters.
When (all of the )students wear uniforms, they have more (opportunities) chances to judge their classmates by what they are doing, what they are thinking, and what their ambitions are, instead of what they are wearing.

Good morning Glorning, I think you give me more credit than I deserve in asking me to edit your text, however I have done my best.
I'm certain that Alan would have made a far better job of the task than I.
Kitos.

Hi Glorning
Thank you Kitos.

please tell me how you will/would write these sentence...
make it look like a essay of a native speaker of English.
English not english
imitate(verb)=
1-to copy the way someone behaves, speaks, moves etc, especially in order to make people laugh
Do not use imitate when you mean to do the same thing as someone else. Use copy instead
2-to copy something(not somebody) because you think it is good
imitate Western social customs and attitudes.
you have made just some small mistakes you yourself can find it.
let me now if you have any suggestions.

| Kitos and Richard, thank you both! Perhaps my words will be more and more like yours. That's not bad~after all I don't have my own writing style. |
