AD*olescent

Campuses become a huge showroom and food expo in these days, especially in the high school. The influences of Advertisement condense in the campuses .The competition in the same generation is more serious than our imagination. Kids need friends , so they need topics to make friends . Then, Ads connect topics becoming a more powerful forces cover up campuses. Kids get the “mark” of Affluenza from their parents and pit what they caught from the environments together, and they mix all the information becoming their own “language” of Affluenza.The “style” they fit, the foods they eat, the “tone” they speak…etc are all influenced by Ads and it’s also a main trade of teenager’s pop culture.

Maybe we are not only educated by teachers and books, but also educated by Affluenza. They way we learned from Affluenza is a process as be socialized. Maybe we could legislate for keeping away the Ad signs in the campuses, but we can’t stop Affluenza growing in the kids’ minds. They way how we grow up is not only studying in the school, but also finding a way that how to survive in the adolescent Affluenza in the campus.

Something Affluenza.....bother me> <

Fortunately, I don't have enough ability to be controlled by Affluenza. In my point of view, if someone can be influenced by
Affluenza,or enjoy in it, he or she must be some "level" in the society. If the people who are at the same "stage" as me. The time we spend for working and the wages we get are imbalance, and the thing which supports our work is enthusiam. Then, maybe he or she can't be as reckless as middle class. Thus, I always live under the tense of unsaved.
Even though, I don't have ability could be controlled by affluenza, I'm still covered by this huge capitalist storm. I save money to buy some furnitures or clothing made by my favorite designers; I can't live without the "sound" output from "Boss".
I like (or adore) the silver accessories of Geoge Jensen.
When I have enough money, I'd love to go out and "take a look" for everything fresh;when I don't have enough money, shopping or looking become a kind of torment .I think this kind of suffering is one typical symptom of Affluenza.
Gladly, I have some rationalities (such as I've never used credit card for debt). I only do or pay something under my ability and control. When I walk on the streets and hit by something which drives me crazy, I always count my balance of my account.It's a kind of reaction. Sometimes, I think it's so ridiculous and laughing at myself.
By the way, I really shocked by the system of returning in the U.S. In my county, it's really difficult to return the products we bought, besides there are some blemishes of the products. So, we have to think more carefully before we check out.
Some of my friends here they usually return the goods they bought after sale seasons. They can "enjoy" Affluenza, but get less pain from the credit bills.
