Labels- an Editorial Opinion by Meg Y.

Uggggg. When will the twisted hierarchy of middle school end? When does it make sense that the cool kids are just the ones who wear Abercrombie and Hollister? And are thinner than a line drawn by their Tri-conderoga pencil because the standard #2 isn’t cool enough for them anymore. Never. That will never make sense. But then why does it happen? Is being “cool” that important anyway? Do you really want to be that way? Not me. And if you are one of those people, do you really like it? It is happening with boys too- I watch it as I walk down the halls every day. You walk around as the billboards you have become, advertising with every article of clothing you put on. I’ve heard every excuse for that ever invented, so don’t tell me “they're comfortable”, “they're just clothes” or “they were gifts”. Maybe that is true for some, but I have found great clothes at stores that don’t use people to market for them. This article may sound cliche. Just like in a book you’ve read. You think those stores are your style, but they’re not. And you know what, those people most likely wouldn’t read something like this anyway, so why should I write it? But I’ll finish it, because that’s happens to be my style.
