But students do not really need designer goods as they are still studying and are not earning enough money to support this lifestyle.

Most importantly, students should focus on their studies rather than looking for material things which are out of their reach.

There are many things which are cheaper but just as good quality as brand-name products. Therefore, students do not really need these expensive goods at all.

But students, like everyone else, love to have the best. Therefore, if parents can afford brand- name goods, they could buy them as a reward when their children really behave well. But it should not be done frequently, otherwise their children would become materialistic.

Many parents do not have time to look after their children because they are busy working for a better standard of living. But they still want to show their love for their children. As a result, most of these parents mistakenly give their children a lot of pocket money to buy whatever they like. However, they neglect the side effects of their generosity.
