Teen generation

Tim

I like wearing baggy sportswear because I spend a lot of time on my skates. I’m wearing a hooded top and a baseball cap. I usually wear it the other way round. There are some of my friends who like clothes with a label, but I always put sport before fashion. The most important thing is that I feel comfortable in the clothes I wear. I have always wanted to have a leather jacket but I haven’t bought one, because they are rather expensive

I have never been interested in fashion. Clothes are clothes. I hate going shopping so I’m happy with whatever I get from my mum or sister. I really can’t understand why there’s so much fuss about these expensive clothes — I’d rather buy a book or a playstation game. I bought one last week and I’m broke now. This tracksuit top I’m wearing now is a birthday present from my sister. I got it last year

Brenda

Well, I’m wearing a school uniform, as you can see. This is so boring. I choose clothes I want to buy, but I always go shopping with my mum. She’s not always happy with what I pick, so we sometimes argue. She doesn’t always give in. Last year I earned some money babysitting for my neighbours, so I bought a fake fur jacket and a glittery shirt. I wear them when I go to parties. The last thing I got as a present is a choker. My brother said a dog collar would be better.
