Reply to comment by pkgary in [OC] Most of the items pawned in a poor district in 1836 Glasgow were CLOTHES, especially WOMEN's clothes by Equal-Crew-3367
Culturally you wore your Sunday best, you kept up with the Joneses.
Quote from Pratchett is useful here:
"He could here his granny speaking. ‘No one’s too poor to buy soap.’ Of course, many people were. But in Cockbill Street they bought soap just the same. The table might not have any food on it but by gods, it was well scrubbed. That was Cockbill Street, where what you mainly ate was your pride."

Reply to When is a kid/teen/person too old or too young to read something? by ShannonHC2010
Basically no. Nothing a 13 year old is going to read in a book is going to not be available to the teen on their phone.
You have to guage if the parents will approve! Also you don't want to be the potential weirdo giving a teen books with sex in it.
