Teen smoking, drinking decline, while mental health, dietary habits worsen
15살 로렌 월치스는 디자이너 브랜드에 중독된 쇼퍼홀릭이다. 그녀는 잡지에 나오는 멋진 사람들처럼 되려고 명품을 산다고 한다. 하지만 여기서 황당한 사실은 그녀가 구매한 옷 또는 신발을 거의 안 입고 안 신는다는 것이다.
로렌의 엄마 재키의 좌우명은 ‘돈이 있으면 써라’다. 그녀는 딸 로렌의 명품 옷, 신발 등을 사주기 위해 쓰리잡을 뛰며 딸의 비싼 취미생활을 충족시키기 위해 네 번째 직장을 찾는 중이다. 고된 생활은 하는데도 불구하고 재키는 딸의 행복을 위해 뭐든 할 수 있다고 전했다.
엄마가 모든 요구에 응한다는 걸 아는 로렌은 10번의 요구 중 9번 정도가 받아들여진다고 한다. 로렌은 자신이 “버릇없는 아이”인 걸 안다고 말하며 그 점에 대해 전혀 부끄러움을 느끼지 않는 것 같다.
로렌과 그녀의 엄마는 “ 12살 쇼퍼홀릭들과 지출이 큰 다른 아이들”이라는 TV 프로그램에 출연할 예정이다.

Mom working three jobs to buy daughter ‘everything’
A 15-year-old teen is addicted to designer labels. Her mom, who can’t say no to her, buys her everything she wants while working three jobs, according to the Daily Mail.
Lauren Walsh, 15, is a label-addicted shopaholic. She buys designer labels in order to look like the fashionable people in the magazines but the funny fact is that she barely wears the clothes or shoes.
Lauren’s mom, Jackie, who has the motto “If you’ve got it, spend it,” is her money provider. She has three jobs, including a cleaning position, and is currently looking for a fourth in order to keep up with her daughter’s expensive addiction. Despite this fact, Jackie said that it’s worth her daughter’s happiness.
Lauren, knowing her mom’s soft side, gets what she wants “nine times out of ten.” She also knows that she is a “spoiled child” and it seems that she’s not embarrassed of it.
Lauren and her mother will soon appear on the TV show “The 12-year-old Shopaholic and other Big Spending Kids” with other kids like her.
