[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm really surprised at the responses on here basically telling Op to help her DD cave to peer pressure.  What happens when your kid is made fun of for not doing shots at the party, or not trying the bong hit?  
I would speak tot he school about the bullying.  The school needs to tell the kids to stop it.
I would give my DD a budget for clothes and let her decide what to get with it.
I would also take my kid to some volunteer opportunities so she can see what it's like to worry about having clothes or food at all, never mind name brands.

You must not have any kids. Your advice sucks.  I guess you think that the school is going to tell kids to stop bullying, problem solved! Why didn't we think of this years ago?[/quote]

My school actively intervenes in bullying.

I must be doing something right because my 13 YO DD doesn't care what she wears, has friends, and gets straight As.  She insists on wearing "old lady" bathing suits and rolls her eyes at my taking her to a dermatologist for her acne.  "It's normal for teens to have acne".  Her teacher thanked me for raising such a polite, respectful child  - "a rarity nowadays".

But sure, ignore my advice.  [/quote]

Good for you. Your daughter sounds like she's doing well.  At 13 she is just at the beginning of her teen years- as a parent of older kids my observation is that there's a lot of change from 12-25! Don't be surprised if she suddenly becomes brand-obsessed, or moody and rude. My kids did a lot of 180 degree turns in behavior but in the end they all turned out level headed and happy.[/quote]
