Effect of Fashion on Teenagers
...
[said in a girly voice and spoken really fast]
Well Hi there! My name’s Isla. I like to wear revealing clothes, flunk out of maths, call everything hot, say like like 365 times a day and wear a CM thick layer of make up that takes an hour to apply every day.
[said on a monotone with my nose blocked.]
Salutations.
My name is Isla; but you can call me Cyber Queen, I’m the third gamer in New Zealand to defeat the level 64 boss. [said in a low American gangsta voice/accent.]
Sup ma homey G. The names I-dog.
In my spare time I enjoy low riding baggy jeans, wearing backwards caps, and thinking I’m too cool for you.
[said in a low depressed voice]My name is Misery. I like to sit in corners and cut myself, and just generally cause physical harm to my body. It takes my mind off the mental pain.
What I have just shown you, are four examples of common stereotypes that can be found in every high school.
Nerds, Emos, Plastics or populars, and Gangstas.
As humans, we are drawn to people who are like us... as a result of this, you end up with little groups called cliques. The word clique originated from the French language, and its literal translation is together.
People in the cliques are bound to each other by what they have in common. Things like music tastes, opinions, hobbies, and sometimes race and or gender. But perhaps the biggest influence on these groups is fashion.
Colours, styles, designers... everything. What you wear can have a massive impact on who you’re allowed to hang out with in the cruelly complicated social food chain we call adolescence. When we see people for the first time, it’s quite often that we think we can tell everything about a person judging on how they’re dressed. Sometimes this is true, sometimes it’s not. For example, if you were to see a girl with a fake tan, a mini skirt small enough to be a belt, a top that begins
*here* and ends *here*, then just
