i think the fashion industry and retailers should lower their prices. Who needs an $80 pair of jeans that look like they came out of the trash bin anyway?

I have three teens at home and I can count on one hand how many times they have shopped at the mall for anything in their wardrobe during the past year. We shop clearance and sales or go to a secondhand store. Two of the three work and buy their own cars, clothes and gadgets, the third child is 14 and looking for a summer job.

The teens who beg their parents for trips to the mall make me sick. the parents of these spoiled brats are to blame for not teaching the kids the value of a dollar and just whipping out the plastic cards.
