Answer 1

I don't count my clothes but I definitely don't have 10 pants! I think you'd survive just fine but if you want more just stretch your $100  

Answer 2

Of course it all depends on your style, but 20 would be nice, so you're not wearing the same thing over and over.  If you shop wisely, you can find some good deals on tees at Old Navy, Hot Topic, and American Eagle (depending on what you are into).  Also, there's Threadless.com (when they have their back to school sale) they have tees for $10.  You can really stretch that $100 if you are creative!

Are your parents on a smaller budget?  If so, I can understand where they are coming from in telling you that 11 shirts should be enough, but high schoolers can be mean, and if they aren't struggling financially, maybe you can offer to do more chores around the house to get more allowance money.

Have fun at your first year of high school!

dude honestly you need to stop worrying high school is a whole new world its where people change and stop judging people by there appearance. but there are still people that do but you just have to be man enough to let it go. so stop worrying about what clothes you should get you could wear the same clothes for a week and nobody would care just be your own self and don't worry about what people think about you.

Answer 4

It depends; do you wear name brand clothes?  Or are you just looking for stylish looking things?  If you have more of a preppy style (but want to save a little bit of money) try a store like Mervyn's or even Ross or Marshalls.  They have brand names (or a nice immitation) for really good prices; you probably could get another 8-9 shirts.  However, if you prefer the whole indie/emo/retro look, try hitting your local goodwill.  They've got shirts for like, three dollars!  You could get 10 or 15 more whole outfits, easy.  

Good luck! :D

Answer 5

You should try to have about as many as you would use in two weeks. So just buy like at least 3 new shirts, and 10 pairs of pants should be fine. Just use the 100 to buy mostly shirts but also maybe a couple pairs of pants. Just to have some new stuff before school.

Depending upon the weather you may need both long and short sleeve shirts. You can get a job and spend as much as you can afford on short and long sleeve shirts.
