It wasn't the first I read, but it was one of the first I'd seen.

The mall scene in this one isn't that memorable to me...I think my favorite is in Stacey and the Missing Ring

Would that "cool clothes" to even an 8 year old still meant things as simple and modest and appropriate as "push-down" socks!

I remember push down socks, I am pretty sure I had some when I was younger.

One thing about this series is - ironically, given all the boyfriends and makeup at thirteen - the modesty of the clothes. I hear of parents dressing 4-6-year-olds, particularly girls, in an incredibly sexualised way.

I wore mostly hand-me-downs at that age, so a pair of funky, trendy socks would have made my day.

And I see the whole trend of dressing kids like they are modeling something or as accessories (in sexualized ways, in the same outfits if they are twins (a la Mrs. Arnold), etc.) to now carry over to dogs (in sweaters, hats, etc.).

Well, tbh I've only heard of girls, but there *could* be some boys too, heh. . I've never understood the Paris Hilton-esque trend of dressing up your poor dog or cat. It's confining if the animal isn't used to it, and might even cause allergies. That said, if the dog isn't bothered by it, people can do what they wish.

I feel like kids today are maturing faster than even 20 years ago. I wouldn't even pluck my eyebrows till 14 and I know 9-10 year olds that started doing it. Or just before that age, they already have a cell phone. The only thing it's necessary for at that age is emergencies if you ask me, I really think elementary and middle school is too young for having one. High school may be okay for if you're going to travel home yourself and stuff like that. I only had a beeper in my teens and didn't even have a cell until my 20's

^ I didn't have a beeper, when I was teenager. I mostly rode with my parents or my older sister drove me to places. I didn't get a cellphone, until I was in mid 20's.

I never owned a beeper but I saw one when I was a kid. Looking back at it, it seems like it wasn't that great.

Beepers were fabulous when they were first available; I recall my "uncle" who was a pediatrcian first having one. Before that, being on call meant being at home. A beeper meant he could go places and call in if the beeper went off.
