suggestible thirteen year old girls
many girls at thirteen want to be seen as unique
declared amazing in their attributes
appreciated for their individuality
then Susie wears a polka-dotted frog hat with roaming eyes
six roaming eyed frog hats are purchased the next day
Jenny brings her salamander in to show him off.
the pet store has a rush on salamanders two days later
girls at thirteen are often highly suggestible.
professing they want to be totally unique
unlike everyone else, and yet,
striving to be exactly the same as girls they admire
thirteen is a year of confusion
where peer pressure pack mentality often trumps individuality
