Why do all people care about being skinny and fashionable?

Its so wierd. It's like people forgot all their moral values. Even elementary and middle school kids care. They buy hooddies that cost a hundred dollars when you could just buy ten dollar ones. They just have a little extra paint! I don't even know how to describe middle schoolers. They are all on diets and are already taking pills! It's just crazy! What happened to the things that really matter? Like friendships, grades, you know, real things? Why is the only topic fashion, popularity, and diets? What happened?

    Back then they used to judge people on how well they do in school and what they wanted to accomplish in life, but now people are too caught up into fashion.. you're absoultely right..but we must realize that fashion is what is appealing right now..that's just the way society has changed.. plus, middle-schoolers go through a rough time at that age with trying to find their certain "clique" and where they belong.. we can't blame the young ones.. if you think about it, adults may be doing it for the same reason.. to feel like they are part of a certain type of world..when do we get to define who we are and focus on the more important things in life?

    Well, I'll be honest, a lot of it can start at home. When I was seven, I thought I was too fat to be pretty... I look back on it now and realize how sad that is :(

    You should have left out "all." Not ALL people do. If "all" kids are on diets, how come obesity in kids is such a health problem in the U.S.?
