In and out - spring 2015

There have always been, there is now and there will always be these kind of 'rules' with style, hobbies, music etc. Especially with teenagers.

There are few styles and things that are kind of expectations among teenager girls. One style is that you have to be skinny, you wear very tight jeans, maybe a croptop shirt or you have expensive brand clothes, classy accessories and jewellerys, perfect hair, make-up, tan, etc. I think this style is like some kind of 'dream', and of course not everybody is really like that, but I would call it as a 'goal'.

And then there is 'fitspo', which means fitness and inspiration. There are some social medias which are full of training quotes, pictures of skinny and trained girls, tips for eating healthy,... the list goes on and on. Every girl wants to be like that, wants to workout and wants to look good, but usually they don't help at all - you just feel so bad about yourself because you're "too lazy".

Sometimes it is better to just relax at home, eat ice cream and watch netflix - and that is our next 'style'. So as I said, sometimes girls prefer just watching netflix and eating some ice cream with messy hair - but the point with this is that you don't wanna look ugly. You still wear make-up, your hair looks good even if it's messy, your clothes are cool even if they are some kind of "homeclothes" - and above all else you can take a picture of your laptop screen and ice cream or maybe something else and post it to social media.

One more style is called "grunge". In grunge you are - or you fake you are - depressed, you wear only black, you like sad and angst quotes and pictures, you listen sad music, you look pale and very thin, your hair is in French or Dutch braid, you have those choker-necklaces, etc.

These are all really expectations, because I've never actually seen anyone who would truly look like one of these styles. And I think most of the people think that we, teenagers, are really judgemental towards each other, and in some points we are, but actually we accept if you want to be different. It is not so serious if you don't look good every day and it's okay if you are your truly self and wear what you want. As John Green said, it is ridiculous to be around someone just because they are pretty. It's like picking your breakfast cereal based on colour instead of taste!
