  • Fading Teen Fads (2-24-2010)

     

    PODCAST SCRIPT:

    I often hear from concerned parents who are bothered by the way their teenager dresses.

    When I was in high school my dad hated my bushy sideburns, my purple bell bottoms and boots that came up over my knees. And, I’ll bet there were times your parents didn’t like the way you dressed in your teen years.

    But for the most part, the way kids dress is just a fad. It doesn’t mean much of anything. It’s just a way for them to fit in with the crowd and not be singled out.

    I recommend drawing the line on modesty, but don’t go crazy micro-managing the way they dress. Fads will pass soon enough and even they will laugh at themselves later, just like you and I do.
