Ok, my name is Adrianna and i'm fifteen. And I (Obviously) need some help. See, people at my school think i'm a poser. And it really pisses me off. Because I have NEVER talked to any of the people that call me it. So they base it all on the way I dress. Call me crazy but, I have always bought things based on if I liked them or not. So I shop everywhere. Hot topic, Abercrombie and Fitch, JCPennys, hell even the thrift store if I really like it. So like, I want people to understand that i'm not trying to be something, i'm not trying to be a "Punk" or a "Prep" I could honestly give a shit less. I understand that not everyone is going to like you but, it really upsets me that people don't like me based on the clothes I wear. I don't know what to do. I want these people to just stop.
Ugh, I know this is stupid and cliched. So bear with me. (link)

People can be very petty.
You've found the joys of being a teen, basically. Your peers feel the need to label things - to make the world into easier-to-digest chunks. That includes ranking people into categories. And they'll base this on the stupidest of things - in your case, your clothing is under attack.
You have two choices - you can let them ruin your life and make you miserable, or you can blow off these losers and do what you want to do.
Next time one of them tries to label you, try something crazy like, "Oh shit! I thought I was goth! Damnit!" or, "no no... you've got it all wrong, I'm going for the post-modern Bavarian shepard look... don't tell me you haven't heard about that, right?", or better yet, "really? I thought I was just wearing clothes... my bad..."
Seriously, when people try to attack others to make themselves feel better, don't take the beating, nor should you fight back... blow it off, laugh it off, and move on. If you dwell on it too much, you'll find yourself becoming just as petty as they are, and I can't imagine that you want that, right?
