[quote=Anonymous]The “I’ll get made fun of” reasoning concerns me. My kids ask for sneakers that they think are cool, but they’ve never used “I won’t fit in” or “I’ll be made fun of” as an argument. My older one (14) buys and sells sneakers and buys his own off what he makes. My younger one (10) doesn’t want to buy anything that isn’t on sale and cleans his brother’s hand me downs with a toothbrush and wears them. He recently won a woman’s coat in a raffle, and he wears it to school every day. I would understand them telling me they will get teased FOR wearing something specific, but getting teased for not having something seems off. Usually there’s a cheaper substitute that is maybe not the coolest, but doesn’t get you teased. [/quote]
