I don't like what your wearing

So the slight turn of the baseball cap that sits on his head or those parachute pants (so his father calls them) on his legs are all part of being an independent kid. My friends felt cool and most of all independent by acting out the way they did. I was teased and made fun of for my mother style of clothing that she chose for me every day. So I finally decided that I wanted to fit into the crowd and be independent, so I started dressing myself. He is expressing his own self, fitting in with the crowd and most of all being independent.

For some of my friends it wasn’t so easy. If their parents would of let them express themselves in little ways, like wearing what they wanted, they might not of acted the way they did. This stopped the teasing and most of all I felt very independent. She would lay out my purple, zip up overalls, with my blue plaid shirt and sneakers every morning. A couple of friends wanted to be cool and independent.

So for a young boy to go against his dad’s opinion of clothing isn’t that bad at all. I would just go through the motions and put them on. They would do what ever they wanted, whenever they wanted and didn’t care what people thought. A close friend even told me that she could not be my friend anymore if I kept dressing the way I did.
