14 year old Lolita-chan need help to know if she is ok.
I am a 14 year old american Lolita-chan (Look here to see what lolita-chan is [Link](Mouse over link to see full location) ...) My skin is paper white and I go by Japanese ettiquette. I wear SPF 50 sunscreen and I'm really fit. but I don't feel like I am right. I feel beautiful being a Lolita-chan. But it's a Japanese style and I have 0 Japanese in me... Is it still right for me to use that style? Or am I just not right. Basically I look like the girls in that picture

It's not wrong because you aren't Japanese... People probably do tease you for it. That can't be helped. But it's not wrong. I have to admit that I think mimicking the etiquette of a culture you are not part of is perhaps taking it a bit too far, but hey, it's still a free country right?
The one thing I do think is important, just in case you don't already know it: Is what the word Lolita actually refers to. It comes from a famous novel by Vladimir Nabokov about a young girl who seduces her much older admirer. So name has become known as a "seductive or sexually precocious little girl". Many people, from many cultures will associate the word Lolita with sexualizing very young girls. Dress however you want, but do be aware that some words mean different things in different cultures, and that the movement, both in English and in Japanese culture understood by many people as a sexualize movement, even if you only think of it as pretty clothes. A lot of the judgement you might encounter about the way you dress is because of that association.

You can dress and act however you feel comfortable - I don't see why you can't dress in a way that interests you, no matter what culture it started in. Hopefully, no one is making you feel bad for dressing how you want to. - If anyone is, just tell them to fuck off and ignore their stupidity.
