I gotta say this:
Where is anyone under 16 getting money for A&F clothes? My wife and I are both wage earners, and doing well for 20-somethings. We choose not to even try and pay what A&F sells clothes for. So, where the heck do kids get that kind of money?
I can see a working 16-18 year old dumping all their cash into clothes. That age group has the earnings potential, I suppose, to buy their own clothes.
But, if any kid too young to legally work is sporting some A&F, I'd think it's safe to assume they got the bankroll from mommy and daddy. I'd be willing to think many kids over 16 (and therefore possibly working) also get the many dollars to buy A&F from mommy and daddy.
This situation is not a new, or undisputed, one. Parents who let their children buy this stuff may or may not have discussed with their children the implications of sex. If our hypothetical parents have taught our A&F shopper about sex, it's not impossible they're making an informed purchase.
If parents are still funding the trip, it's still their decision to say what the kid can buy with that money.

I got a kick out of this statement. I always thought buck heads are what hunters have on their walls, and disagreeing with someone was butting heads.-----crfpilot

Good, I'm glad you did. It's common for me and some of my peer group to say, when sarcastically issuing a challenge, "oh you wanna buck huh?"
It may not be grammatically correct, and I was just
waiting for someone to point out grammatical errors in my post ,and call me out, or even call me a hypocrite.
However, I'm not writing a published article like the kind I'm dispensing "advice" on. My post is just that, a spell checked stream of consciousness, on a message board. If I was publishing an editorial I'd have followed my own advice.
