Dear parents, When I was a teenager, at school the boys wore tight black chinos and loud plaid 'cowboy' shirts. The girls wore cotton dresses and bobby socks. When we went out, we were dressed up in a nice suit and the girls wore fancier dresses and bobby socks. Now, I''m ashamed to bring my grandchildren to a classy restaurant. They have nothing decent to wear, just their peer pressure impossible clothes their parents paid a fortune for. Can somebody explain how they got to pick what they picked? It's even hard to tell the boys from the girls. No, I don't think the schools should go back to wearing uniforms, but green hair? Here's a poem I wrote about the new generation. Confused in Morristown.

Where do the teenage

rs get their fashions? With everyone else they seem to be clashin'. The twenties noveau brought in dropped waists; Now the dropped crotch is much in good taste. Tight sweaters were all the rage in the forties, Triple X tents are now considered jaunty. A farmer wore jeans for their work as a digger; Today with worldly teens, jeans are d'rigeur. While I don't suggest they should all be frumps, Why do they wear them all at once?
