ARTICLE IN A MAGAZINE

Can you explain why some teenagers choose to wear clothes their parents dislike? Can you explain parents´reactions to their children´s clothes? Write an article giving us your views. 

YOU ARE NOT GOING OUT LIKE THAT!

Have your parents ever said: „You´re only waring those clothes to embarrass me, aren´t you?“ This is what my mother said to me the other day when she saw my torn jeans.

In my case, I just wanted to look like everyone els, but many people believe that clothes reflect children´s attitudes to their parents. I have got friends who deliberately buy things they know their parents will dislike. In my opinion, children want to prove their independence and parents don´t want to admit their children are growing up.

In addition to this, I think that people´s clothes indicate their social situation. For example, people of my grandparents´age, who remember being poor, prefer to mend clothes than to buy new ones. By contrast, those who were teenagers in the 1960s are used to having Money to spend on themselves. However, their children definitely prefer the second hand look.

Let´s face it, when it comes to fashion, we all laugh at the generation before us and are shocked by the generation that follows.
