Yeah, some of these things are pretty weird... the "people who talk and dress like you in the media are portrayed positively"? What exactly do they mean? Uh, yeah I guess so........ "Same or higher class than your high school teachers"?? Well I'd say "same" class... my teachers weren't low class OR refined upper crust (even though this was a private Catholic school I attended). Weird...
Some of my clothing was bought new before I turned 18 but not all of it. And my first car was a hand-me-down from my parents (was my mom's 1984 Ford LTD), but it died soon after I started college and I bought a new (well, new-er... slightly used) car with money from my grandmother. I had a private tutor for a bit in high school because one year I was very sick and missed a lot of school, so wasn't doing well in Math. And in 11th grade we all had to take an SAT prep course. As for summer camp, I only went when I was very little... for a year or two back when I was around 3. The youth council at my elementary school district had a program called "summer recreation" that they held at our school. I went there from kindergarten to 2nd grade. It was a few days per week each summer but nothing overnight.
Wow, some of these memes.... heh...
