[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 732992, member: 1550"] Did anyone else rip their jeans? That was big in style for me. We would buy new jeans and cut them up and ripped them mostly in the knees. We went to school like that. Drove parents nuts. Few wore jeans that were not ripped in my area. I had a lot of bell bottoms, all bought new, all ripped. All with threats that I would never get new jeans again if I was going to cut them up. It didnt stop me. I loved that look. I think some wrote on their bell bottoms too but I don't think I did that much. That was the hippie influence in my area. We did not ever wear straight jeans unless we were a greaser and they wore black straight jeans. Was I the only oddball that went to a school where the kids split into different groups with different types of attire? Only the preps were sort of clean cut looking but many of them stole and did drugs too. I refused to wear unripped bell bottoms because I did not want ANYONE to mistake me for either a prep or a greaser. I had a dislike for both jocks and the school hoodlums and although I sort of dressed like a hippie, I had no love for them either as I was not political and was anti drug and anti smoking. Anyone wear a boy's ring with yarn around it to git your finger if you were going steady? That is what we did at my school. Or we wore the boy's ring on a chain around our necks. I had lots of boys who asked me out but never got to go steady. Boys expected sex. I would not do anything more than make out. Even boob touching didn't happen until I was at least 19. I am the only my babyboomer I know who was a virgin when I got married. I wanted to be good...I thought this was one way to be good. I was very different lol. Anyone else? High school was a place where I felt I didn't connect to most people but I was a loner so I stayed to myself. Anyway.... Ripped bell bottoms anyone? Going North? Anybody? What signified going steady? Anyone else determined to be a virgin when married? I actually got this from my mother who abused me. She convinced me to "save yourself for marriage." I am not sure she believed I had. [/QUOTE]
