People who were overweight, unathletic, dumb, minorities, etc. got less shit from people than those who wore cheap clothing. One set of my grandparents were judgemental of people who wore cheap clothing also.
I still have an irrational fear that people will look down on me if I wear really cheap clothing.

I'm truly sorry that you went to school with such a bunch of assholes, and that your grandparents are so materialistic.
As KR can attest we lived through the "Oh my God you MUST have Jordache or you suck" phase, but it went away by college, thank heaven.
