Q: hey i am like a punk kid. and i really dont like preps very much. but my mom is like anti-punk and loves preps. and she is really into the "preppy" clothes and attitude and all that good stuff. lol. ok well thats NOT me but how do i tell her without her freaking out. i mean i want to get my tongue pierced and my ears pierced a lot. but my mom is just not understanding for my personality. people tell me "Be yourself who cares what others think" but how can you be yourself when your mother is making you another. how do i try to show my mom that i am not like her?
I cannot stand people who label themselves or others.Have I been called a punk before?Yes.Goth?Yes.Do I consider myself either?NO!I just prefer Black to pink.It just really pisses me off when people say shit like that.Think about that the next time you label yourself.As for the advice part.It was kind of hard at first with my mom to except I rather wear A Gun's and Roses Tee with jeans that have holes in it and Chuck Taylors as opposed to a cute pink skirt with a clean,white tank top and stilettos.Do you get my point though? Give her time.Eventually she will accept your wardrobe and you.She'll still love you no matter what you wear.As for your piercings.Good luck with those.Once you turn 18 you can get how ever many you want.Who knows by then you might not even want them.But try for one at a time.And the toungue would not be a good place to start.

yea exactly....
