Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil
They're probably rebelling against their parents, or the establishment, or whatever kids rebel against these days.
I find it amusing that the current "rebellious" fashion choice for teens is long hair, tight jeans, and denim jackets. Didn't we go through this in the 1970s? I also remember how freaked out parents were when our swimming team shaved their heads for the big swim meet to show team spirit in 1982 or so--yes, short (or no) hair was our version of rebellion in the 1980s, since it made the 'rents think that the guys were skinheads and the girls were lesbians.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Yeah, it's true. It's funny, because the supershort haircut that caused me so much grief ("You should wear earrings so people know you're a girl." "But I don't have my ears pierced!" "You don't?") is so popular among conservative ladies of a certain age now.
I had something else to say about the ongoing discussion, something about reproductive health and responsibility and the patriarchy, but I've eaten a very nice pasta alfredo and I've forgotten. Just like a woman, I guess, fickle and changeable.

Stinky looking isn't a good way to rebel. It's just stinky. Unless you are three, in which case, you are still a little fuzzy on logic. And it is still not a good way.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
If you [sara] don't like stinky looking it's a great way for them to rebel.

You mean repel. Which if that's their goal...

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Since I spent a the summer I turned 15 in hip-hugger jeans which were frayed at bottom from dragging on the ground and series of garish oversized homemade tie-dyed t-shirts, I have no firm ground to stand on with regards to the clothing our young people wear.

Jessica, too bad your company gift exchange thing has a $20 limit, because I have found the perfect thing
It is perfect -- in fact, we've already got one!

Is this like in Holy Grail where the French tell King Arthur that they've already got one? You've seriously already got one?
I have worked in the wrong offices, clearly.
