Apresentação oral para inglês - teens and fashion
There are six “whys” teens worrying so much about fashion:
Statement
For teenagers, fashion is first and foremost a social statement. It is an outward means of expression to their peers and the rest of the world.
Identity
Fashion also provides teenagers a sense of identity by signaling which "grouping" they belong to ("prep," "punk," "goth," etc.). It may also signal a more independent or inclusive personality.
Rebellion
Rebellion may also be acted out via fashion. Since rebellion is often a huge aspect of a teenager's life, it is not shocking that teens often use licentious or shocking fashion to rebel against their parents, their classmates, and/or society.
Peer Pressure
Many teens pick up on fashion trends in an effort to stave off humiliation and mocking from peers. Poor fashion choices in the eyes of others can often be an open door to ridicule.
Celebrities
Often, fashion for teenagers is the result of the desire to be like a celebrity. Celebrities are perhaps the greatest influences on teenagers in the modern world, and they can have a huge impact on a teen's ideas about fashion and its importance.
In one hand, I agree with those who say that teenagers worry too much about their physical appearance and that they spend too much money on fashion stuff. But I’m a girl and I must confess I also love to spend money on fashion
