What Does a Teenager Spend Money On?

Have you ever gotten back from the mall and noticed you didn't have that many bags but your wallet was completely empty? What could you have possibly spent your money on? Well if you're a teenager it probably was a lot of unnecessary things that you didn't realize at the time of your purchase.
As a teen myself I know that money seems to go pretty fast. About 20%-40% lot of it goes to junk food such as chips, soda, snack cakes, and loads of greasy food. With are fast metabolisms we don't pay attention to the damage we're causing inside because it never show...except for the excessive breakouts on our faces from time to time.
But some of our purchases differ depending on your sex. Guys usually spend their money on video games, a few nice fitted's and sneaks to upgrade their gear every now and again, and unfortunately nowadays a lot of our guys are spending a large percent of their money on acquiring "illegal substances".
Our ladies on the other hand spend a lot of money on all the latest clothes, accessories, and make up (enough to hide any blemish we could possibly receive.) We have to pay to get our hair done, nails occasionally, and just keep our appearance up at any cost. A hard task but something we try our best to accomplish.
So the next time you try to think of all the things you waste your money look at yourself in the mirror...there goes 45%. Think of what you ate today...another 40%. And then finally think about that "special gift" you brought yourself that made you increase your normal junk food percentile by an extra 10%...there goes the final 5%-15%.
