About scootermclisle



Call me scooter. No, it isn't my real name, but I like the idea of having a secret name. Most of the people who have professional advice columns don't use their real names, so I don't see why I should either. I want to give the best advice possible, and I figure that the first way of becoming professional is to act professional. That isn't to say that I plan on growing up to be an advice columnist. Actually, I want to be a psychologist. But, this is as close as I'm going to get to that right about now. I'm also a very good writer, so I figure writing an advice column is a good way of getting my ideas out there. Please feel free to ask me any questions you like.

I feel like being who i am comes off as a poser? like i moved to florida in 6th grade and came back like two years later to the same people and had found that i looked like the apparent "emo". Now what gets me mad the most is how everyone thinks they know what there talking about. I have listened to my freinds bitch many times and only now have i realized they need to get over it! They have average famileies living in a average suburb and making them seem emotionally disturbed just makes them stand out! if people have a problem with me likeing black coths and bizzare things then they can go fuck off! Now im not gonna be all like im soooo emo and punk casue im not. Nor do i ever want to be. I fell like if you try to be differnt then you get automatic lables thrown in your face and poser labled on your forhead. I dont know how to deal with all this stress!

The reason your attempt to be "different" isn't working is because you aren't being different. Wearing "black clothes" and "bizarre things" is nothing new. Many kids wear dark clothing and unusual accessories to look unique, but it doesn't set them a part. It puts them in a category. They are then labeled "posers"; people who try to be somthing they are not. This is because they try to be unique, but but they aren't unique since many other people trying to do the exact same thing as them. It's understandable that you are upset that other people are judging you, though. No one can tell you how to dress; it's your own personal decision. However, it would probably be best if you stopped focusing on your image being "different" and thought instead about what sets you apart as a person.
