WALLETS, KEYS ARE ALWAYS AT HAND WHEN ON CHAINS

LATELY A LOT of teenagers, guys in particular, are wearing chains attached to either their wallets or keys. At Tallwood High, lots of guys are wearing them.

Josh DeLoach, a Tallwood sophomore, wears his keys connected to a chain that is connected to a belt loop on his jeans. He says that it's easier to use the chain because in school he doesn't have any place to keep his keys.

Alex Camiarillo, a freshman at Tallwood, wears a chain as well. Instead of his keys, his chain is connected to his wallet. He says that if he wears the chain connected to his wallet, the wallet is less likely to get lost. His chain is also a signal to others about what ``group'' he hangs with at school, Alex said.
