"No I don't!!"
Yes, you do. You wear exactly what your peer group wears and nothing else. The colour, style and brand name must match what all your friends wear. When you peer group changes how they dress, you follow theirs lead and change also. Where is the individuality when you wear only what your peer group wants you to wear?
She then tried to explain that they are all acting as individuals.... together.  |
lol
Reminds me of a comedy sketch I saw.
Interviewer: What does that tattoo on your neck say?
Boy: It says "INDIVIDUAL"
Interviewer: And why did you get that tattoo?
Boy: All my mates had one.
