When I was younger I never made a deal of what I wore, it grew on me as I got older , I think teenage kids are more obsessive about what they wear than any other age groups specially in this generation.

I personally like fashion because its shows what type of person you are even if they’re not talking.

I like that you can set your own style and be original in what you wear, it’s like your own individuality this is why people shouldn’t copy what every one else is wearing. I don’t like wearing makes such as – Oasis because is just a reason to buy something expensive just because it’s a certain brand, but if I liked the piece of clothing I would buy it. You should wear what you think looks good and original even if you think people would laugh. You can make a good outfit from high street clothing, so it doesn’t have to be expensive Certain people wear certain clothes depending who they are where they come from and what they’re friends are wearing, sometimes what type of music you listen to makes an impression on what clothes you wear.

You can sometime judge someone from what they are wearing. If some one was dressed up quite posh you would generally think that they wear a wealthy organised person.

I would not say that I have a certain fashion, it would depend on where I was going and who I was with or even the weather as what I would pick to go out in.

I think young people (age 13-19) are mentally forced to buy expensive branded clothing because their favourite Celebrities or perhaps their friends are wearing them. I think girls are more affected by this than boys. I think they are obsessive about what they were and how they look, some teenage girls cover themselves in make up to make them look better. I have said a lot of my opinions but I would like to know what you think , do you think teenage children are pressured into buying expensive brands? If yes do you think it has just started in this generation or it has always been like this? What is your fashion type? So how important do you think you’re appearance to other people is?
