Seriously. I’m so happy I have a nerdy bookworm who isn’t into name brands. She’s almost 13 and [b]not on social media yet [/b]so maybe that’s part of it. [/quote]

Bingo.  There's a huge difference in the kids who have access to social media and those who don't.  Not always, but often.  One of DD's teachers mentioned this fall that they can often tell the difference between kids with social media access and those who don't.

I don't buy that.  Time over, American children have been influenced by their peers.  They are watching each other.  I honestly don't even believe half of you who claim your children don't know these brands or want them.  [b]They have understood your judgment and will just not ask you for them.[/b]  That's totally different.[/quote]

This right here.

Kids know their parents pretty well by the time they are teenagers, so of course you’re not going to ask for Lulu pants if you know your mom will refuse.[/quote]

No, that’s not it. There are plenty of teens who really, truly either aren’t familiar with “Lulu” pants, or know exactly what they are and wouldn’t be caught dead in them. [/quote]

I don’t think it’s a badge of honor that your teen is completely unaware of teen pop culture.  I have boys and they know all the popular stuff for the girls because they listen when other kids speak.[/quote] LOL did you just call this woman's teenage son a self-centered loser because he doesn't eavesdrop on vapid girls and memorize yoga pants brand names?[/quote]

Comprehension and awareness goes a long way…[/quote]
