Everybody Has It!...
The term "everybody has it", or "everyone is wearing it," is definately controversial... When you walk into school everyday, there is something new that you don't have, you feel self-consious, and you don't want to be in school anymore. The reality of that is, it's not like someone is going to go up and ask you "Why aren't you wearing that shirt?" No one asks that. Because the 'cool' people, have their own monarchy and their own stupid broad and narrow ideas of how 'un-cool' people act, dress, think, and live.My challenge to those of you who are scared to dress the way you want to, is to wear it, for two days, wear what you want, go totally non-brand-names. For two days. Just two. It's not the end of the world I promise. What do you think people wore before "Hollister" or "Aeropostale" or "American Eagle" or "Abercrombie & Fitch" Were made? They sure as hell didn't wear them. Crack out the ole solid colored shirts if you have to. The status quo should stop relying on letters on a T-shirt.
When you walk into anywhere and see a shirt you like, you run over to it, all excited and you think, "I NEED this shirt." Then... You look at the price tag... Darn... So you walk out, empty handed, shirtless. Then you go someplace else, someplace where everybody you know goes on a daily basis... You see one... Two... Three... Four girls wearing THAT shirt. So you throw on a hoodie or sweater, hoping no one will notice that you're not wearing the new 'in' shirt. And you waste the rest of your day, stressing and self-consious, worrying about who sees you... Sound familiar?... That's just not a way to live...
So, I think we should break that tradition, just wear non-brand name clothes for two days. You'll be surprised to see how many 'cool' people will do it too... (Although, they'll probably have to go out and buy something.) Just try it, break the chain, see if you like it. You'll also be surprised at how much more less-stressed you feel.
