Answer 1

I think the clothing businesses are using young people's desire to belong and be accepted as a way to make money....and it works!!!

Answer 2

lol yeah it's funny when you see loads of people wearing the same things. i go for a mixture and depends if it's expensive and only if it's something i really like i'll buy it. like to shop around. never know what u'll see. always regret buying something when i go in a store the next time and the thing i'm wearing is like half price. sales are good :)

i'm in my last teenage year though. kinda sucks to get old :(  

Answer 3

Nice job your not a follower your a leader. =) Please let me know how its going.

Answer 4

that is a good way to make difference.

honestly, i don't really like how all the teenagers look alike these days.

but yeah, i think finding your own style is a great idea!!

Answer 5

ok...

Answer 6

I halfway agree with you. I don't hate those stores, but I occasionally go, and usually don't get anything, but my sister works at Holister, so I get a discount. Sometimes they'll have something awesome, but i mostly agree. Places like Kohls and Old Navy have some pretty kickin' clothes. I just buy what I like and think looks cool. And I really don't care that people all buy those clothes just to fit in. That's their deal. I take the extra effort to be different.

Answer 7

You're soo right. I used to wear lots of Hollister. And I still do (sometimes) but it has gotten so old. It's like everywhere you turn you see that stupid bird. It's annoying and we all do look the same. Ah! =/

Answer 8

your solution is wat i was gonna say while reading. you have an awesome idea. pplz might start wearing wat your wearing and you'll technically be helping them cuz you and them will be wastin less money. good point man.
