Alcott, who is developing as expected, has just begun puberty. During a shopping trip, Alcott's mother purchased a couple pairs of jeans for her son. Upon picking him up from soccer practice, Alcott's mother tells him about the purchase. Alcott takes the jeans out of the shopping bag and says, "Mom, I can't wear these. These are not the right brand. No one is wearing these jeans! Do you know how this would affect my reputation?$$I$\text{'}$ll return these and buy the ones I want."$$
