clothes are a persons expression unfortunately we are influenced by the wrong impression, in Europe you dont have trailer park trash and rappers wana bees walking around its a bit more curbed and for good reason. the whole manner and style is different in Europe and the fact that you've had a cell phone since 14 doesnt say much because that puts you and me in the same age group and i didnt have one until 18 and it was strictly for emergency use it wasnt until later that i found it a convenience, but i dont see how a 11 yr old such as my cousin should need a cell phone for. They are not that important
