I am of course, but I SO want to...

[DoesntChristmasDragOn]

1. go up to strange teenage boys and tell them they look f-ing ridiculous in jeans where the crotch is down round their knees (designed to be there, not in a pant flashing manner)

2. Go up to girls with teeny tiny skirts and either bare legs or thin tights that they'll catch their death of cold in this weather

and several other things. Obviously I don't do either of these things (I do remember what it was like to be that age!) but I often imagine myself doing them.

i say to a young guy the other night that if he wanted to show that much of his pants he really ought to wipe properly first

i know, not nice of me, but he was a right cocky little git, took the smirk right of his chops

I used to chase the lads down the corridor at school waving my staple gun and offering to staple their trousers to their shirts so that I didn't have to look at their underwear in my classroom!

Respect to scaryteacher - no need to query your mnet name.

oh bum i still wear really short skirts with bare legs and have a long fringe that covers one eye and i have been known to wear flourecsent outfits with furry boots (to raves obviously) am 26.....may have to go get myself some age appropriate clothing problem is am still 20/21 in my head i guess

am pregnant now so dont wear any of it at the moment (live in mat jeans and jumpers), but really miss my denim mini skirts

i do really hate the jeans round the ankles thing on boys though yuk

If you lot can adjust teens jeans and fringes can i please please run up to the orange brigade on the school run with tanning corrector towels and wipe their faces and hands for them? I am becoming slightly disturbed by them.

what tessofthedurbervilles said

Oh, if we are doing school run mums am I allowed to ruffle one mum's hair and stomp on her alice band? She would look sooooo much better without it.

Actually, I find young men wearing ridiculous outfits quite reassuring and very amusing - they think they're really pushing the boat out. Except... I had a boyfriend when I was 16 who was into that look in a huge way. It used to drive my father insane!

My SIL (to be) loves to rant about kids like this and swears that she was always appropriately dressed. Hahahha, she's hardly ever appropriately dressed now.

Oh dear, I was thinking of having a fringe cut. I stand corrected.

YANBU

partly because it was all the rage when i was at school still, and that was 15 years ago!

so surely it's a bit old fashioned now....please....pretty please

Tell them the cops simply luuuuuurve that fashion as the jeans fall down as the perps try to run away

how funny!

Oh yes, you are definitely allowed to attack the mothers on the school run. There are a few I'd like to sort out (so to speak).

Mind you, in my teens I used to have dark brown spiky hair with a white blonde fringe so I can't really talk.

what I want to know is how on earth they keep there jeans there? Why don't they just continue falling down? I have caught my self staring at boys with jeans halfway down their thighs and their pants showing thinking how do they do it.

the ones I saw actually had extra fabric at the top so that although the crotch was knee height, there was still a functiona, waistband higher up.

I am pretty sure that some of them are only kept up by their nadgers. Or perhaps velcro to their pubes. Certainly the "belts" they have looped through don't seem to be functional!

Perhaps we can have a mn campaign for all those of us with children under 5 to get them to point, make a loud comment and laugh!

Was about to say 'yes, don't teenagers look ridiculous these days' until I remembered a photo of me aged 16 - leg warmers, crimped hair (oh yes) and a puffa skirt.

thumbelf is right, I read an article when a journalist who was old enough to know better tried it out. Apparently it was VERY uncomfortable. So they are suffering for fashion, bless their cotton socks (assuming the socks are on their feet, not helping to keep their jeans up...).

well i have had a few fashion faux-pas (still do) it is a rite of passage.they will look back on ugg boots and think "what the hell was i thinking...." arse hangin out trousers combo is so bad too

but dont want to be the ole gimmer saying
put a proper jerkin on
ach yer troosers are hanging down
noo they are sensible furry boots (are ye fae furry boot city?)

Hey, MrsMattie! Leave my hair alone! (I can see btw, it's not particularly thick so I don't notice the hair there at all - but it stops my face being a funny shape...)

I was a bit sad to donate 14 mini-skirts to charity recently though. Felt a bit odd about wearing them whilst preggers/a mum so they've all gone to be replaced with something more sensible or they will be whenever I get the time to actually shave my legs again.

I hate the trouser thing because there are so many brightly coloured boxers these days, I spent half my time staring at guys bums because I've drifted off and not really noticed the interesting brightly coloured/patterned thing is somebody's pants... can be very embarrassing!

I admit to following one boy down the road (I was going the same way as him, now stalking him!) staring at his bum continuously in fascination and wondering whether his troos were actually going to stay up at all! They seemed to have a very tenuous hold - he was very skinny too!

I must admit I do snigger when they talk about dressing the way they do because they are 'individuals' when the way they dress makes them all look the same

Oh to be a teen again!

And WHY do they never wear coats? I also always want to yell PUT A COAT ON!!!

bless them. Remember when we were that age? Thought we were so cool, and grown up, and that we were impressing everyone who came across us, especially if we talked loudly about matters of Great Importance
