(A13) Many things can have … impact on what teenagers buy. It‟s not the case that advertising is
the only thing which affects teenagers‟ decisions, and indeed, it might not be the most important
influence.

(A14) Parents, of course, also influence what teenagers wear, although not usually in a
positive way. Teenagers often want to wear the opposite to what their parents do, and make
conscious efforts to look different. For a very long time now, pop stars have been at … front of new
fashions and trends.

(A15) What‟s also true is that fans of certain genres of music can signal to other fans what
they like by the style of clothes they wear. Finally, friends probably have the greatest
influence of all on what teenagers choose to wear. Most people want to look like they are
part of a group.

(A16) We often make … deliberate effort to try and fit in with our friends. In … conclusion, I‟d
say that there are many things which positively or negatively influence teenagers‟ style decisions.
In general, I believe that what our friends wear has the greatest impact.
