               Image is a very important thing in every day life. At work, formal events, and school. Lets face it, kids will never be free from pressure to look cool. Kids are always worrying about what others want them to look like.

                First is the image they want. Whether it be a popular, gangster, or even a skater look, almost all kids want an “image” so kids can see their personality. Other reasons might be because they want to hang with certain people. Sadly some of the kids who don’t have a “look” are picked on kids who do, but are the same as them.

                 Second is their accessories. Most kids always want to get the coolest shoes ,shirts, etc.. They also want to get the most popular brand of clothing, such as Hollister, Element, or Vans. Jewelry is among  some of the most important accessories people have. One of the most worn jewelry is hooped earrings and diamond earrings(also  popular to the gangsters). Final I come down t one of the most needed, and the most desired thing, the cell phone. People now have many different types of phones, the iphone, razor,etc., however that doesn’t matter, the thing  is that all kids want a cell hone no matter what type.  I  remember getting my first phone, I had to think of many different reasons why I needed it, even though I had to it didn’t matter to me. I that was going through my mind was,”I want that phone.”

                  So it all comes down to this, body shape. I hear hurtful things said about kids all the time such as”fatty” or “that one bilemic girl/guy”. I think that, whether you are kidding around or not, that person feels pain. Think about it, do you really think they want to be like that? I’m one hundred percent sure they don’t. So please stop calling them that , it is just inappropriate.

                   So as you can tell through my essay that a lot of kids feel pressusre to look a certain way. Even if you don’t wear the coolest things and become a victim to this name calling “trap”.Just ignore it and live your life.
