Maybe I haven't watched it properly because it annoys me too much, but I'm in rage because some people actually have to lie about those things in order to be accepted in our society

It's sad that the majority of the Norwegian population aren't aware of the fact that there are people struggling financially and living from paycheck to paycheck (as snus said). This is especially true for children.
There was (maybe still is) an ad on tv for festive national outfits (festdrakter from OBS I think), where the mother is telling her children to lie about them being true national outfits (bunads). This ad have had me in RAGE since it first aired.
No child should EVER have to lie about the economic choices their parents have to make, because it should be common knowledge that not everyone can afford bunads and parajumpers. Children should be taught that this is OK, and should be respected.
Growing up with people who'd shit on others for having last year's edition of a parajumper (for 7k NOK I dare point out), because their own parents would buy them a new one every year, was a struggle for many of my classmates with parents of lower income. My mother even knew other parents who had to sow the tag of expensive brands onto H&M t-shirts in order to prevent their kids from being bullied at school.
That ad, I think it's because people raise their children thinking nothing but the most expensive is okay so the mother wants their children to be able to talk back if someone says something. I'm not sure tho. Petite wrote:

I'm by no means struggling economically, which I'm grateful for, and I have friends who's both better and worse off than me. However, I grew up attending primary school with students who had parents with VERY stable economies. To this day, one of them still won't spare me a glance if I see her on the streets.
