Teenage Trends: Hugs are Hip!
I’m a hugger. I hug my children; I hug my friends. Some cultures greet people with kisses on the cheek; some with handshakes.
Teenage culture across America is embracing the hug!
Hugging is not just for romantic relationships. According to the New York Times, teenagers have broken down hugs by type:
There is the basic friend hug, probably the most popular, and the bear hug, of course. But now there is also the bear claw, when a boy embraces a girl awkwardly with his elbows poking out.
There is the hug that starts with a high-five, then moves into a fist bump, followed by a slap on the back and an embrace.
There’s the shake and lean; the hug from behind; and, the newest addition, the triple — any combination of three girls and boys hugging at once.
Parents want the best for their kids, so buying items with organic cotton is the minimum for most. As environmentalists of all different shades of green, being proud and outspoken about what you believe in becomes second nature. In a matter of weeks, babies show their own unique personalities, and their surroundings (clothing included) should reflect that.
