Man kan ju inte gå klädd hursomhelst : En studie om hur högstadietjejers identitet

Sammanfattning: To understand students, their world and what makes them act in a certain way or how they form groups in school is a very important part of a teachers work. You get a better understanding for the students behavior by having knowledge about how they look upon themselves and other students, to prevent prejudice and tendenses to bullying and beeing an “outsider”. Clothes and fashion are often a big part of the students identity buliding and how they look upon themselves and get looked at by others. We have chosed to exeminate this phenomenon among girls since they are often more exposed by the media for example and with unreasonable beautyideals and other external factors that many girls try to live up to in todays society. We have made a survey regarding the usage of clothes and fashion in the making of an identety with totally fiftyeight girls in the ninth grade on two different public schools in Haninge and Tyresö municipality.
