[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I just can't believe all of you thinking buying brand name clothes will prevent bullying and it's just for middle school. No it will not get better in high school. It is about sneakers now, but in high school you will need to buy your kids latest smartphone model, a nice car etc... Then you'll wonder why your college educated child with a job can't seem to save any money. It's because they will have to have the Kate Spade bag and Jimmy Choo shoes to fit in. It never ends.[/quote]

That is a huge leap from buying a few nice brands that aren't crazy expensive to a Kate Spade bag or Jimmy Choo shoes.  My parents bought us a mix of clothing and funny thing the first thing I did with my first job was to open a Roth IRA.   Nothing wrong with one nice pair of sneakers.  I usually buy the cheap ones on clearance but at this point I'm not sure if they are even worth it as my child doesn't flip shoes sizes often and they wear out (and he's not hard on shoes) much more quickly.  It does end as you teach your child balance.  Mine knows to shop clearance and knows that's when we go on buying sprees.[/quote]
