If you didn't dress like a subhuman fool in junior high and high
school, you must have been the laughing stock of your class.
Kids dress, behave, appear the way they do because their parents
feel the same way you do and forbid their kids to dress, behave,
appear that way. So what's any self-respecting rebelious pre-teen
or teenager supposed to do?
