Fight the Power

In teen culture it is necessary to fight for status power everyday. For instance, most teens are trying to have the best style and the coolest clothes. Just like those sweet uggs boots, most teenage girls have them to keep up their status power. Materials are big deciders in someone's status, like if someone has torn up clothes, they are looked down upon, but if someone is looking pretty cool or glamorous, people may look up to him or her. It also depends on what cliques you belong to like the football players are popular and have a high status power, while nerdy kids and punk kids may have low status power in the eyes of teenagers. This affects the development of teens to adults by making it that when when the teens turn into adults they may keep all these concepts of status power and fight for it throughout adulthood. It doesn't have to be this way, but it would be hard to change the way things work in the adolescent world. There isn't really anything else teens can do to obtain power in their lives, so it looks like things are going to stay the way they are.
