Our city has become so multicultural, that there are fewer "norms" in the schools. When I was in Jr High, we were all caucasian, English speaking kids and the peer pressure was great.Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15892804871759397018noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6998770.post-13883672146099235442009-07-21T15:59:10.620-04:002009-07-21T15:59:10.620-04:00AC-- I understand this post completely.
Whatever t...AC-- I understand this post completely.<br />Whatever the specific circumstance, children all want to fit in. Clothing is an obvious way to do that.<br />And then as we get older we ruminate upon our youthful experiences--simultaneously wondering why we were suckered in, and yet still recalling the pain of not having exactly what it took to fit in.KGMomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05165941950953938943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6998770.post-11823502289398409072009-07-21T14:43:55.060-04:002009-07-21T14:43:55.060-04:00I can't imagine Nikki Dee would ever give in t...I can't imagine Nikki Dee would ever give in to peer pressure.

I enjoyed your memories and must say that all kids covet certain things one year and the next they those things don't mean anything. <br /><br />It scares me with Brandon starting high school in the fall. This young man has overcome so many obstacles in his life. Scary indeed. I don't think your reaction is any different than many parents and grandparents. I know how much you love Nikki Dee.<br /><br />Have a great day, my friend.<br />Blessings,<br />MaryMaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08175754179624182953noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6998770.post-60135716383301073192009-07-21T06:46:47.632-04:002009-07-21T06:46:47.632-04:00Got to do my blog thing early.

Within my own children and grandchildren I can see differences in how society affects them. It is the way they are taught or modeled or whatever, I think, that affects they way they make choices and react to the pressures out there. I think so many of those that run with the pack just don't have the support they need from their foundation. Hang with em as long as you can.<br />QMMAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6998770.post-14420459652834522009-07-21T06:41:58.868-04:002009-07-21T06:41:58.868-04:00This is my favorite of all your posts, the time pe...This is my favorite of all your posts, the time period you call up and your deep desires. Start with them young not giving a shit. Start with them developing their own sense of style. My daughter is as shy and sensitive as they come and yet she rocks Medusalike outfits 'cause it's just her style, she tells me. And my son wears a 1940's Mennonite hat. Sure, my kids are weird, but they wear weird well.<br /><br />Love this bit of writing!Woman in a Windowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14747858840088922077noreply@blogger.com
