  Having to spend money tp avoid being socially ostracized IS frivolously spending money.

  • Unworthy of serious attention; trivial.

  • Inappropriately silly.

  • Of little weight or importance; not worth notice; slight.

    Tell me you have never been bullied without actually saying it.

    To each their own…I would count not being socially ostracized as highly important, appropriate, and of significant weight.

      So you would teach kids that bowing to social pressure by buying overpriced fashion items is ok?

      To each their own indeed.
