After the talk earlier this week about braces being a fashion statement for so many, and SheSloth wearing those stupid lenseless glasses yesterday, I have a question. Anyone else notice that teens these days have turned into fashion statements things we dreaded when we were their age for fear of being made fun of? It is like now things such as braces and dark, thick-rimmed glasses are cool, and those who don't need them are trying to get them, or wearing fake versions. I mean, I remember in my day, people didn't want braces for fear of being called brace-face and other names. Glasses? There was always that dreaded four-eyes insult.

I don't know...just seems strange to me. But then again, teens these days seem to want to draw attention to themselves much more.
