you know, I really dont see why the title of the thread is "the problem with kids TODAY". In every generation people have followed trends, its nothing at all new, so why is it such a big deal. Everyone goes through a stage in their life where they want to fit in, and feel the need to belong to a group, and everyone goes through a stage where they rebel against the "group image", and a lot of times this simply leads them to a different trend to follow. Its not a new phenomenon, and it's not hurting anyone, so I've never understood why people make such a big deal over it and act as though the desire to fit in is such a negative thing, when really, it's just human nature.
