This week's 8th grade hosts, Tami and David, interview classmates Sabrina and Mia and all four students discuss dress codes in school and the pressures of style and appearance that teens face. The group specifically considers the impact of clothing styles, social media, celebrity influencers, school uniforms, sexualization, societal trends, personal expression, and economic, race, and gender differences.
