With fashion magazines, advertisements and teenage idols sporting the “latest and greatest” trends, there’s a lot of pressure on teenagers to fit the mold—no matter how expensive it might be. For decades, teenagers have used fashion as a social weapon. Bullies (恶霸者) will pick out peers that aren’t wearing the best brands of clothing and criticize them. Dr. Jensen, a professor at Western Illinois University, says there are some signs that your child might be a victim of fashion bullying. They’ll become picky about what clothes they wear and will be very demanding when you take them shopping. He continues, “Bullying of this kind can be quite insidious (潜伏的)—it can just be a look that a child is given. Advertising and marketing have made our society increasingly image-conscious and our children are suffering the consequences. Schools and colleges should be places where all children feel equal, but it is actually impossible for schools to protect their pupils from the harsher aspects of these commercial influences.” Andy Cranham, a teacher at City of Bristol College said, “The need to belong in groups is crucial to young learners and exclusion (排斥) is something they see as the end of the world.” What Not to Wear, a popular television show, features fashion bullying as entertainment. Each week Stacy and Clinton pick out a fashion victim, thinking little of her appearance, and verbally trash her wardrobe. They bully the victim while she shops according to their “fashion rules.” After she receives a total fashion renovation, Stacy and Clinton offer her acceptance and approval. Each show ends with a homecoming celebration where the former fashion disaster returns to friends and family who praise her with admiration as a “new woman I think beauty is probably at the base of fashion, but the problem comes when so-called “stylish” people start defining beauty in a way that excludes other people. Why wait for a trend in order to follow it? If you’re able to wear something with confidence, you will be the one starting a trend.【缺少答案,请补充】
