Don’t get hot under the collar

MY IDEA OF BEING COOL

-

Most tweens and teens these days try their best to look cool. I have heard my peers say about someone, ‘He is so cool’. Does it have something to do with the temperatur­e or is it about what he is wearing? Or is it about something more exciting?

I believe being cool is about being respected by your peers/friends. I know every person tries to look cool by showing off their new and expensive boots, expensive jacket or even an expensive mobile phone. I repeat, on purpose, the word ‘expensive’ because I want to let you know that an expensive new thing need not necessaril­y make you look cool.

I am not against buying expensive stuff but all I want to say is that wearing something that is comfortabl­e and looks good on you really matters. I once bought shoes with really fat tongues to look cool but I certainly did not feel good.

So how do we look and feel cool at the same time?
