Do you like shopping? Here’s what some of our readers think.
Aisha, 16
I like shopping, but it depends who I go with. Shopping with my mum is a nightmare! She and I have very different tastes and she always thinks that the clothes I want are too expensive. Personally, I’d rather have one nice piece of clothing than three cheap things! I don't like shopping with my boyfriend either, because he's always in a hurry. But shopping with friends is fun, and I like going on my own too.

I don't really enjoy shopping. When I go alone, I usually just run into a shop and buy the first thing I see in my size. I don’t even see the inside of a changing room. As a result, I’ve got a wardrobe full of awful 'mistakes' which I never wear. But I don't mind going with my girlfriend, because she helps me choose. She’s got great taste and she always knows exactly what suits me.

I hate going to the shops. My mum buys the essentials for me – underwear, socks, coats, that sort of thing – and I order my jeans, shirts and sweaters online. I try them on and if I like them, I keep them. If not I send them back. It takes a lot less time and I don’t have to deal with shop assistants. They’re always trying to sell me stuff and telling me something looks good on me when I know it doesn’t!

I love shopping, but I always do it alone. When I go with my friends or my dad, they get frustrated because they think I’m too slow or that I can’t decide. But I just like shopping around for bargains, so I take my time. Also, I don’t care about the latest fashion, so I love nosing around in second-hand clothes shops. I often get compliments about my unique style!
