  Re: Teens and shorts (in the winter??)
  Hey Jtt5254,My lil bros wear shorts to even play in the snow. Come on now it is about style not about warmth old man I don't allow my boys to wear shorts during the winter months. Who knows why teens do it, anyway if you think that is weird how about the double shorts? You seen that yet the new "style" here in WA is to wear two pairs of shorts and two pairs of socks. O well I will be out on my porch with my rocking chair if yea need me.lots of love, Nathan

  Jtt5254The college students seems to be avoiding shoes. They wear those flip-flops or go in bare feet until the weather got real cold.Allenpufferfish Top

  I heard a great joke on the radio this week.Cold is when the temp is less than your age.That is why 10 year olds wear shorts, while all the golf courses in florida are empty."We cant golf! It is 67 on the fairway"Dan

  Loc: sorry, but I don't say on the ... I knew kids in high school who would wear shorts all winter, but I have never been one ever. I do wear shorts and sandals for as long as is humanly possible though, and when the weather over here gets back to about 60 degrees Fahrenheit I bust out the shorts, just with shoes and sweat shirts. Over 65 it becomes bearable to wear sandals or flip flops, and around 70 degrees I can stand to lose the sweatshirts. But when october and november roll around it all gets put away and then it's nothin but jeans and sweat shirts.

  It is 50 degrees here and sunny, but the wind is blowing at 30 mph. Right behind my house the golfers are going by. One group was wearing shorts but three out of 4 of them had their hands in their pockets as the other guy teed-off. It looked to me like they were a bit on the cold side. But then again I have seen guys at the old Cleveland Stadium in shorts or without shirts when it was quite cold out for football games. And it has been even colder in Green Bay before too.Heck, you should see the young gals skiing in their bikinis here in the Spring. Nothing funnier than seeing one trying to get the slushy snow out of her top after taking a spill.Mark

  I think dress customs like that reflect a teenager's desire to have an identity independent from that of the adults to whom he has to answer - parents, fosters, coach, etc. It also reflects thinking along the lines of "I don't need to wear (fill in the blank) just because adults do and just because they say I should."In my day, the things we hated/refused to wear were hats or caps in the winter, dress shoes, ANY shoes, straight-leg trousers, collared shirts, etc. Talk about giving away my age!!!!! I preferred to freeze rather than put something on my head, even though I knew a cap made great sense in cold weather.In the UK, where boys have to wear school uniforms, the first thing they do when they get out of school is pull their shirttails out, pull their ties loose, and walk down the street looking as disheveled as they possibly can - in jacket and tie. It's all part of the journey of self-discovery that every boy goes through.
