why they all try to be "original" and "different" from the rest but they all do it by wearing the same thing and talking the same way...

Because teenagers go through the toughests time ever....they are starting to get indipendent fromtheir parents, trying to find their own individuality.. So the parents are being replaced with their peers,a nd they all try to find a group of equal peers to belong to, because the world is a scary place all alone, and also because teens who are too different then the rest get picked on and bullied terribly. Give them a break...you were a teen once too Im sure?

It all works together in wanting to be accepted by their peers. Rejection is a terrible thing to deal with as a teen and as a result they try to fit in...yet at the same time they have a need to feel special which is where the "originality" comes into play.

being a teenager and also wanting to be original, I think that people look at others who are "original" and wish they, too, could pull of that look. So these people try that look so they can also be original. then someone else sees their look and it becomes a chain of people copying other peoples original styles.

I was a teen...........10 years ago. I've changed so much! We have a class reunion in a month. No one will recognize me now! Ask me why at roberta_greenberger@yahoo.com. You'll get a kick from my story!
