When I was in high school, I've never wore name brand clothes. My parents always brought me unnamed brands and shoes have always been original shoes, no name. I see other kids with, Levis, duckheads jeans, ivory crews, nikes, you name them. I never wanted to go to school because I never had anything good to wear. Have anyone ever went through this.

I do however have some name brand shoes purely because they're comfortable.
I had the opposite experience. I came from a poor area and there wasn't enough money for food, never mind "brands". Most of the kids at school were in the same boat. If a new kid came into our school wearing Nikes, the Nikes didn't last the day and the kid spent lunchtime picking up his teeth with a broken arm.
He would really get his arm broken and his teeth smashed in for wearing that? No warning or anything?
It was a freedom of mind statement. <--- JK :P
Honestly, I never wanted to follow the sheep.
I feel sorry for the kids who get picked on and bullied for being rich or poor.
