Hiding the Reservation

At Whitney Young, a lot of people hide their background when they come to school.  They're worried about what good clothes to wear, who's going to comment on their outfits, who's going to notice the small hole in the stitching of their clothing.  They mostly hide the bad "reservation" because of the multitude of wealthy students in the school that like to flaunt their materialistic possessions.  Their peers worry about being judged and want to fit in in such a large high school.  They just want to impress others so they can have friends instead of being judged based on whether or not they got the latest pickups on shoes, the cutest dresses, or the nicest cars.  Some teens hide the fact that they're not as wealthy just to get by and have an okay time other than feeling left out.
