I went to public school. I never noticed anyone being bullied for wearing cheap clothes.

Kids were more likely to be bullied for how they acted, and it was normally stuff which kinda made sense (not justifying bullying).

I also went to a public school. Kids were definitely singled out for the brands and perceived value of the clothes they wore. There was definitely a pressure to keep up with the latest trends and styles, including those at other schools around the city.

I went to a school with a school uniform, so the kids Hyper fixate on your brand of backpack, plain black shoe, and socks.

In my day, Kappa and Addidas were the only acceptable brands of backpack. My friend got spat on for wearing an Umbro bag.
