Fish answered Thursday June 24 2004, 12:12 am: First off, don't try to be punk. It's something that doesn't truly exist anyway but if you choose to believe in it fine here we go: Yes, the basis of punk is being yourself. Anyone who puts guidelines on how you dress and act doesn't know what they're talking about. The freedom of being yourself is far better than placing yourself in a box. I've tried to do that before because I liked the style and some of the ideals of it but you end up comparing yourself to a lot of immature, bratty people who seem to be very self centered. Eventually you start living for you and forget all of them so there's no point in going through all that anyway. When you put a label on yourself, you allow people to only see you as that and not for who you really are. Plus, you can be yourself and not care about other people's thought without being punk. If he cares about whether or not you're "copying" him, I'd say it's time to move on. And him being bipolar is only really important if it makes the relationship unstable. So...talk to the guy and go be you, not a label. [ Fish's advice column | Ask Fish A Question ]

It doesn't matter what your socail group is, if you like what you like then that is your style, who knows maybe someone might like your style. Hope I've helped you out a little.

failure_by_design answered Wednesday June 23 2004, 2:03 pm: Hey-- For starters, do you want you want to do. Tell him how you feel about being punk. Asure him that you are not doing it to copy him, but to just be yourself- {inside & out}. If he still think you are just copying him, then he is not worth it at all. No one should stop you from becoming who you really are. He should be supportive. Well i hope i helped!
blonde answered Wednesday June 23 2004, 12:22 pm: Just do what you want. If he says you are copying him just tell him why you are punk. Explain that it is cause of the music you listen to or just the style and way you want to be. If he thinks you are copying him, then he isn't worth it. Good luck!
