Yes it can. I am not advocating high designer clothing. In the teenager years one of the most important psychological things that drives or motivates them is having a sense of belonging and to feel that they fit in. They are trying desperately to find their place in the world and that's why the family unit is important that they have a place to fit in there and also with their group of friends. A lot of times teenagers can't breathe without friends. They can't go anywhere without friends and that's part of their development at that time. Help them fit in with a group that is supportive of them.
