Kids + Money

Summary:

Kids + Money is about 11 and up that have different idea of money and what to do with it. Some kids like Emmanuel who goes to Harvard West lake which is extremely expensive to just go to. However to fit in you have to wear the right clothes, drive the right car, and have the right house in a gated community. Then there are other kids like Zore who lives in an apartment that forces her to live in the same room with her parents. Besides having rarely any privacy but she doesn't have the advantage of going out and spending 300 dollars on Christian Dior Sunglasses. Sadly the way kids identify people on the way they look, so when a kid is brought up in a world where you get what you want because your parents have that luxury of giving it to you, you expect everyone else around you to have the same luxury. Phoebe went to Junior Prom and spent a lot of money but her friend Jennie who doesn't have that luxury had to stay home. They both go to the same school, hang out with the same people, but Jennie still didn't want to admit that she couldn't afford to go because it's social suicide. It's our norm to have our financial status identify us because society expects us to want to always have the expensive clothing and in the end, the individual always does.
