the school’s encouragement of diverse fashion choices
B
the positive impact of embracing different subcultures
C
the negative effects of labeling and making assumptions on an individual's self-view

Explanation
Nalu’s peers repeatedly label her based on how she dresses, and those assumptions cause her to feel self-conscious and question her identity.
