Within days of being told she was in violation of the school’s dress code, Kaitlyn, 18, a senior who recently graduated, was an Internet sensation, with a “No Bra, No Problem” Facebook page and a new nickname: “Kaitlyn the Braless Warrior.”

Now the teen says the time is right for other young women to peel off the underwire, take a stand and start a national discussion about “the body shaming and sexualizing of women.”

“Boys always get the excuse about their hormones, that ‘boys will be boys,'” Kaitlyn tells PEOPLE, “but instead, perhaps people should start teaching boys not to sexualize women’s bodies. Wearing a bra is a personal choice. It’s my body. Why is it anybody else’s business whether I’m wearing a bra, especially when I’m covered up and dressed appropriately?”

Kaitlyn, who says that she had gone braless for more than a year after deciding that brassieres were too restrictive and uncomfortable, was shocked when she was told to step into an administrator’s office one week before graduating.

“I was told that a male teacher had complained he was uncomfortable because I wasn’t wearing a bra, and I was told to find something to cover up with,” says the teen, who was wearing nipple stickers beneath a dark and loose off-the-shoulder T-shirt.

“When I left the office, I was so upset that I posted a picture of what I was wearing on Facebook, telling everyone, ‘If any of you are curious, this is the shirt I was wearing when I was called out.’ I most definitely wasn’t wearing anything against the dress code,” she tells PEOPLE.
