How do teenager girls get accepted in a group?
Last night at the dance, a woman came to the dance with her adult daughter. Her daughter was in town visiting, and wanted to go dancing. I danced with Sarah several times. I was talking with her about what she viewed as the social scene at the dance. She had noticed that a lot of women who are the better dancers hang out by the stage and DJ booth. I said it seems that way. She then said something interesting. How does a girl get accepted into that group? She said that she heard that teenage girls share lip gloss. Once they share the lip gloss, then they are part of the group. I am not sure if the women at the dance do that. I think it is more about they are taking the same classes, or on a team together, or they developed friendships through dancing. I think it is more than lip gloss for teenagers too. There needs to be a shared experience. Sharing lip gloss is more of the symbol.
