I'm really into anarchy and im a member at anarchystar.com. Its really cool there and for the 1st time i feel like i belong somewhere.
My mom and i are close and i tell her a lot that goes on in my life, i've always had a hidden side to myself that i kept to just me. No one else, but now i feel like im pretending to be someone im not.
I dunno. I guess, should i tell my mom im into anarchy,and am totally against bush? I mean i havent told anyone how into anarchy i am. Is it a bad thing? Like, will people think lowly of me if they know im into anarchy?
I need help.

So, if you are really into this whole anarchy thing, stand up for yourself! Don't be afraid of what other people might think of you. I wouldn't just randomly walk up to your mother and say "Hey mom I'm into anarchy" because then she might think that you are afraid that its bad for you. If you're having a casual conversation, and something comes up along the same lines, you could say something like "Well, anarchy, while some people think it means being destructive, I belive that it can be a good thing to be against our rulers, especially the current one." The only way when being an anarchist gets bad, is when you cause harm to people when revolting against administrations of people. Also, remember that anarchists aren't just against Bush, they are against authority in general. So be careful before you go around being all happy with your A in circle sign, that you can be against Bush but not other authority figures, because THEN that would be being someone you're not. Good luck! [ x_mystery's advice column | Ask x_mystery A Question ]

And just because you're hiding something something from people doesn't mean you're pretending to be something you're not. You're just not expressing your opinion. But maybe you should tell you're mom you're into anarchy. I'm not into it though. Because anarchy mean no goverment, then there won't be any law enforcment. Sure, that'll be cool for awhile, soon everything will be chaotic, nothing will be done, and murder will be everywhere. It'll be barbaric! And basicly, it'll be survial of the fittest. How would you like it if you saw your closest friends get murdered in front of your eyes and NOTHING happens to the people that killed them? Well, I may be exaggerating, but then again, this is probably the worst case scenario (0r near it), but anyway, that's my opinion. Well, hope I helped.

*ashlee* answered Sunday August 7 2005, 10:46 pm: just because you feel like you need to hide it, doesnt mean your pretending to be someone your not. its not a bad thing at all if your getting your facts straight. some people may think low of you but then those people are blind and theyre opinions dont matter. its always nice to be able to tell your mom things, and im sure you two would be able to discuss it and share your thoughts and what-not. but from experience your mom may just think your crazy and that your watching too much television. i dont know how your mother is though so you need to base telling her or not off of what you know about her. good luck with everything i hope it works out for you.
