Very nice article thanks! I remember this from when I was in high school. Everyone had to have those brand clothes or shoes and if you didn't, you weren't "cool". I think school uniforms might solve part of this, but I have never spoken to someone who went to schools with uniforms so I Don't know the situation there.

It is crazy, I actually prefer people who consiously don't give in to these trends. Those people who actually think about what they do with their life and money are the best! :D
