merchandise to tweenagers and their parents. You can get
everything from branded lunchboxes and mobile phone covers, to monthly fan magazines and clothing. The High School Musical series of films is also intended for a tweenage audience. So, it’s all about sales, which tells us twccnagers must have more money, freedom and influence upon their parcnts than they’ve ever had before.
UK tweenagers never used to be worried about spending money on clothes and fashion accessories. That’s changed. Now, they are much more fashion conscious and concerned about their image. In a world of television programmes that promise overnight success and fame at a young age (for example, the shows Britain’s Got Talent and American Idol), some people think it’s extremely important to look fashionable.
So what does tweenage fashion look like? Well, it’s quite horrible really, but then I’m a bit too old to appreciate it, I suppose. It’s lots of brightly coloured materials, pa rticularly pink, and usually plain, not patterned. There are plenty of bows, necklaces and bracelets, too. It’s all very cute, if that’s your taste.
Surely none of the above is a good thing, is it? Can it really be healthy for us to encourage kids to be like adults at such a young age? Are we stealing childhoods in return for a bit of profit? Well, the UK government is certainly concerned, and for that reason has strict laws preventing companies from explicitly marketing their products and services at children.
Even the rest of UK society is concerned. Now that people are aware of the problem, there is a
popular backlash against the exploitation of children by commercial marketing.
