What Do 18 Year Olds Worry About?
I was in a department store the other day looking for jeans or khakis (one or the other or hopefully both). They were having a great sale on jeans, so I picked out a pair to try on. My waist size is 32, but since I'm only about 5'4", the length always has to be taken in.
As I was making my way to the dressing room, a salesperson asked if I needed any help. I asked him if they did in-store tailoring and he asked why. The sales guy was about my height. I explained to him that since I was vertically challenged, it was hard for me to buy pants that really fit. He jokingly said "tell me about it". I asked if he then knew of a place nearby that did some tailoring. He said no because he usually didn't tailor his pants and lifted showed me that his cuffs were a bit pushed up by his shoes.
I told him that I wanted to have a more fitted, much more "neat" look. He then said, "I'm only 18, I don't have to worry about things like that". So what do they worry about?

I'm not sure what 18 year olds worry about these days, but I have the opposite problem with pants. I personally love being able to find pants long enough that they'll bunch up at my feet a bit. It takes about a 37" inseam to make that happen though, which are very difficult to find...

How to fix the world wide mess before it's too late, and wondering if it's already too late.

Whatever that kid is worried about, it ain't about making a good first impression!

ha I teach HS and they don't worry about much that's for sure. Cars, sex, and women usually.

They worry about old people asking them about their fashion sense.
