Selfies at funerals
Metope:
Sudden realisation that when I get home for Christmas, my 15 year old brother will finally be taller than me :psyduck:
Actually, when I was 15 I made my own ball gown, it was beautiful and I was really proud. I wore it for the Christmas ball at school, but when I was going to wear it the following year, my body had suddenly hit adult mode and it didn't fit anymore. If I had only waited one year with making it, it would have probably still fit.

All these people are children. I don't know about you guys but I'm never surprised when children do something ill advised and stupid. Hopefully these kids will look back on these moments and cringe at how awful they were. Also these look like the kind of kids who don't own much black or muted clothes. So they best they can do is look "nice" or their best approximation of that.
But the whole selfie thing, I can kind of understand. I mean people have always been narcissistic shit bags. That's why art galleries are filled with self portraits. It's why rich people throughout time have commissioned artists to paint portraits of them, sitting for hours so they could have a flattering picture of themselves. Now anyone with a phone can do it in a second.

I can understand it....it's just painful to observe. I can't believe for a second that some of these kids don't have one black outfit. Or a pair of tights!
I wore crazy shit when I was a kid- alllllllll the time. (In fact, one of my favorite outfits included a pair of gold satin leopard print pants with roses on them, red patent leather wedges and a velvet bucket hat) :psyduck:
But it was ingrained from a young age that you wear black at a funeral- no questions asked. As I got older, I understood that other dark colors were acceptable, but yeah. You're not there to be the focus of attention.
Metope:
A friend of mine's father passed away when she was 14, one of her friends at the time wore a mini skirt and a revealing fishnet-type black top to the funeral... She knew it was inappropriate and did it anyway, at 14+ you really should know better.
Jimmy the Squid:
14 year olds aren't necessarily paragons of consideration. I am always well prepared for funerals as all my clothes are black anyway.
