[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Being a first generation immigrant, i just don't get it.  8th grade DD goes all day without drinking water even though her dermatologist and her doctor told her she needed to.  She said any other water bottles aside from a Stanley Cup is "trashy" and she would be judged by "people in the hallway". She would rather go for 7 hours without a drop of liquid and it's clearly taking a toll on her skin and overall health. Her close friends are kind although all of them have the "right" sneakers and "right" water bottles. She's in a MoCo public school, which has both FARMS kids and kids from relatively affluent families, I was really hoping to raise a confident daughter who's not too worried about how shes' being perceived by others when it comes to material processions.  Am I sending the wrong message by giving in?[/quote]

[b]Get her the stupid cup and trendy shoes but tell her how deeply disappointed you are in her [/b]

Also take her back to the old country this summer and show her what real poverty is like [/quote]
