    I only read this sh1t to comment on how Lame Teens are now. I'm 17, but my soul is 25. I just don't get this "Lets dress gay" trend these kids are doing. AGAIN, none of these kids are individuals, or unique. EVERY body dress the same. being "different" is being the "same" now. I'll tell you what needs to die...skinnies [smh]

      FYI, bud: Saying "I’m 17, but my soul is 25" is about a 100x gayer than anything this guy is wearing. Just so you know.
