[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Teens following trends and other teens making fun of said trends are spectacles as old as time.[/quote] Kinda, except you mostly got a pass for following trends - these were "unmarked." Preppy was the default. You put yourself into mockable group when you followed subgroup trends like alternative or goth or heavy metal (and these subgroups then felt suprior to the default group). But I'm a bit alarmed that just following youth trends makes you mockable. What a hard place for a kid! In the mall in the 80s, no one would ever have pointed out preppys and laughed (unless they were goths overcompensating - certainly they wouldn't have pointed them out to their mom). I want my children to be able to choose to mark themselves and stand out and find community even if it makes them a target of ridicule. But I want this to be a choice. They also should be able to NOT mark themselves and just wear the "in" clothes and pass undetected. [/quote]
