Quote:Hey I have a question for the locals out here. And since we just moved here and my 13 year old boy just started middle school last week. Could use some help so is picked on less. So serious replies from local parents only please.


I am curious what brands of clothes are popular with teenage boys. Everything from shoes to pants to shirts and so on.

So know what to buy my boy to wear to school and not get picked on. Like what is popular and what is not in style and stay away from buying. Any help be greatly appreciated.


Thank you, Ray

 

My best advice: If he is being picked on, clothes will not change that. You need to look at another way to deal with it. Maybe he's just taking some lumps for being the new kid in school. Maybe he is overstating it because he is in a new place. He has to learn a new town, a new school, and make new friends. He misses the comforts and familiarity of where he lived. I told you in your other thread that it took me a while to warm up to Jacksonville. It may be the same for him.

 

Then again, I could be way off base, and he's being picked on too much. If that's the case, you need to deal with that head on. How to do it is your call. Buying new clothes won't solve that kind of problem IMO. You're not addressing the issue.
