What are the causes of why peer pressure make teenagers buy the lastest fashionable clothes and technology?

Answer 1

• The media and working parents are the two causes of many teenagers buying the latest fashionable clothes and technology. The media zeros in on the teens because they are more vulnerable and interested in technology (filling in a void in their lives.) Some parents who work may feel guilty and try to make it up by spoiling their teens or, some parents simply give the teens money to go out and do what they want to keep them out of the way. The family unity is failing miserably. There is little quality time for some families to be together which is far more important that buying 'things.'
