Apparently teens in the US judge each other by the colour of their message bubbles [0].

I don't know if this is merely immaturity, or sheer vapidness.

When I was growing up it was mostly about where you bought your clothes.

It's immaturity, if you will. Wanting to set oneself aside as a bit better than others, and the harsh group mechanics of building constellations with a select few through exclusions of others, is a social behavior of growing up. Almost every kid and teenager will partake in it or at the least experience it.

I don't know child psychology, but if I were to guess it's a manifestation of "survival of the fittest".

I am under the impression teens should be expected to be immature and vapid…because they are teens.
