Well, this kid hadn't hit rock bottom yet because he was too young. He probably just had a huge crush on Ms. Spears, and there is no shame in that.

There's the goth phase, and then there is this. Why dress up like an extra from Tank Girl and stand in front of your parent's fence thinking that you look way cooler than you do?
