Grandmother's observation Options

A grandmother's observation:

I just spent several hours observing teenagers who were hanging out at our local mall. I came to the conclusion that many teenagers in America are living in poverty. Most of the young men I observed didn't even own a belt; there was not one among the whole group. But that wasn't the sad part . . . many of them were wearing their daddy's jeans. Some of these jeans were so
big and baggy that they hung low on their hips, exposing their underwear. I know some of them must have been ashamed their daddy was short, because his jeans hardly went below their knees. They weren't even their daddies' good jeans, for most of them had holes ripped in the knees and had a dirty look to them.
It grieved me that in a modern, affluent society like America, there are people who can't afford a decent pair of jeans. I have been thinking about asking my church to start a jeans drive for the "poor kids at the mall." Then on Christmas Eve, I could go Christmas caroling and distribute jeans to these poor teenagers. But here is the saddest part..... it was the girls
they were hanging out with that disturbed me the most. I have never in all of my life seen such "poor" girls. These girls had the opposite problem of the guys . . . they all had to wear their little sisters clothes. Their jeans were about five sizes too small. I don't know how they could even put them on, let alone button them up. Their jeans barely went over their
hipbones. Most of them also had on their little sister's top; it hardly covered their midsection. Oh, they were trying to hold their heads up with pride, but it was a sad sight to see these almost grown women wearing children's clothes. However, it was their underwear that bothered me the most. They, like the boys, because of the improper fitting of their clothes,
also had their underwear exposed. I have never seen anything like it. It looked like their underwear was only held together by a single piece of string. I know it also saddens you heart to receive this report on the condition of our American teenagers. While I go to bed every night with a closet full of clothes nearby, there are millions of "mall girls" who barely
have enough material to keep it together. I think their "poorness" is why these two groups gather at the mall, the boys with their short daddies' ripped jeans, and the girls wearing their younger sisters' clothes. The mall is one place where they can find acceptance. So, the next time you are at the mall doing your shopping and you pass by some of these poor teenagers,
would you say a prayer for them? And one more thing . . . Will you pray that the guys' pants won't fall down, and the girls' strings won't break?!

haha.. well consider it the elite of chain letters, i think its pretty wise how people can make this social phenomenon into something somewhat humorous.

[ShipuuShouken]

Haha, did she actually mean that? It'd be funny if she did. Haha but yeah, I've never seen a guy where jeans that stop above their knees though... ehh...

She means like you know those shorts (I personally hate) that like go a little bit past your knees.

[PuRrFeCt GhErRl ...]

Uhhh...that was actually meant to say that it's so sad to see ghetto guys wear those baggy jeans and it's also sad to see girls wear some tight-ass shit...it's just makes them seem poor...
