[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I just remember as a poor Latin kid with a free lunch that other kids black and Latin too would judge me and others on what we wore. My stuff was from Payless and Montgomery Ward so I was laughed at. Then and now I just can't judge kids or adults by their clothing. [/quote]

Same, but a poor white kid.

Ditto. And home sewn.

Now, I had a classmate whose family struggled (her dad was skilled machinist who made decent money but also a drunk and they'd run out of food). But she had an uncle who was a TV personality and married to Betty White. They got amazing hand me downs and her mom was a skilled seamstress and home decorator. We became close friends later and she said everyone thought her family had a lot of money because of the clothes and house. But I had been at her house just once in high school with a woman who was picking up her mom for an event I was invited to and noticed the kids all had half a hot dog and a small pile of macaroni on their plates, and her mom laughed lightly and said last day before payday. My clothes got laughed at but I never knew when payday was and was never aware of money being particularly short just before. [/quote]

My clothes mostly came from K-mart (we didn't get a Walmart until I was an adult) and I was chunky, so I was ripe for ridicule.

I don't care what other people are wearing. [/quote]
