i'm gonna go to this highschool where I've seen teens dress who can afford 'brand-name' clothing, well I don't have much money, and my parents ain't rich, I haven't bought much clothing since 3 years, I basically don't have a 'wardrobe'
I'm afraid kids will make fun of me since I don't have 'nice clothes' and it'll look like I wear the SAME THING everyother day, WHICH they did notice b4 (but ofcourse i wash)
i remember one girl commented my shoes, because they were like 3 years old and warn-out..
tell me some encouraging words

I get stuff from resale shops. Quite a bit of stuff I get still have the tags on them. You're a girl, so you can go to the men's section. You'll find all kinds of brand new clothes.
Just for the sake of argument. School is for your education. Get your education and you can get a good job and get any clothes you want.

i am so sorry. Wal-mart usually has cool stuff for pretty cheap and payless has great shoes. Layer the clothes you have now, and be glad you get to choose. I wear a uniform!!!Maybe, that would be better though, for you, because there isn't the discrimination between money classes, because everyone is wearing the same thing. Even when I had a choice, I still wore almost the same thing everyday, because I would, my comfortable clothes are my comfortable clothes and that is what I wore. I hope you get some new ones. Mix and match....

You shouldnt worry about what brand your clothing is or how much money it cost. Just because they are expensive brands doesnt mean that they are nice. To make your clothes look different try mixing it up a little bit- add accessories like belts or jewellery, you can even make your own jewwellery its not hard and it doesnt cost as much as buying it!! Why dont u try looking around at sales you might find a good bargain!! As for the girl who commented on your shoes dont worry about her, what does it matter as long as you are comfortable waht does it matter??

You can get the same brand name clothing as they do, just go shop at bargain places like marshalls, loehmanns, ross and look through the clearance racks. Also target is a great place for fashionable clothes at affordable prices. You don't have to spend alot to dress nice these days. Just shop around.

when I was in high school the same thing happened to me. The same exact thing. I just happened to make it my style to shop at thrift stores and find my own style, which didn't look like anyone else at my school. this was in the mid-late 90's when it wasn't "cool" to shop at thrift stores. Well I made it cool and at first I got made fun of but I found a group of kids (the skaters, stoners) who liked my style and eventually the style spread throughout the school and a girl who picked on me as a freshman for shopping at value village approached me as a sophmore and asked if I liked her sweater cuz she got it at value village and she meant it.. I smiled inside. I chose tiny boy t-shirts mixed with hippy jordache or gloria vanderbelt jeans . I dont know if this helps
Also, if you DO want Brand Name Clothes Shop at Kohl's and go to the clearance rack. You can find Candies Jeans and awesome shirts for like 80%off ,, the last 5 pairs of jeans I bought were Candies Jean and originally 50 dollars I only paid between 5-10 dollars each. Try Kohls and Marshalls.

don't worry what other kids think it makes them feel better to make fun of someone. but if you want a little nicer clothes you could get a part time job or something and you can also find cute clothes at target, walmart, kohls. you don't need brand name clothing to be speical. clothes are just clothes no matter what. just be happy with what you got and don't worry about other kids.
I hope I helped

Don't get caught up in peer pressure... and label mongers! Make your own fashion. Another method is take up sewing. You can create your own label... and its a lot cheaper than going out to buy those tags.... Its not the clothes they're paying for. Its that tag in the collar.

Some encouraging words are"good puppy,brave,smart,good personality and intelligent.
Go to school in the buff,no one will notice the labels on your skin.
My keyboard is flooded with tears and I am so touched by your bravery in the face of adversity.
If you wear the same thing every other day,what do you wear every other day???

Mix and match,
check out ross and tjmax,
i know that clothing is important in high school,
but in 20 years it wont matter what clothes you wore, who had the cutest jeans, the best haircut or the clearest skin, what matters is what you learned and how you applied it.
Everyone is beautiful in their own right.

don't worry about them. who cares if you can't afford the same clothes as them. it doesn't matter.
you should go to a thrift shop and buy clothes there. you can change them or do whatever you want and make your own style.
i do that sometimes and i can afford 'brand name' clothing.
it's really neat knowing that no one will have that same piece of clothing as you.
