ok so lately i've been trying really hard to be someone different. someone i'm not. look-wise, i've gotten preppier. but when i get on the computer sometimes, i'm all scene. i like to listen to techno music...a lot. but only my best friend knows about that. if everyone knew i listened to it, they would call me a poser. i've already had people call me a prep. but i'm really not. i hate makeup and hairspray. but then again, i love to feel like i look pretty even though i don't. people still see me as the over weight ugly girl that i really am. and i'm not some skinny girl saying i'm fat. i really am fat. i'm sorry this is so long but if you could please give me some advice, it would be greatly appreciated.

I know school is difficult and other teens can be soooooo judgemental, but believe me, in the long run you have to be you. Who should like you most, a bunch of snotty ignorant preppie posers (cause they all are) or YOU! Like yourself, be yourself, find friends who like that person and screw the rest of Em!!!! I was a complete dork in highschool, now I'm still a dork but I love me! I found out that if I acted like myself that I had friends who liked me anyway and the other kids didn't mess with me cause I was confindently DORKY and proud lol. Just be yourself and No more Desperate Poser! ((((Hugs to you)))) [ GaleMomOfSix's advice column | Ask GaleMomOfSix A Question ]
shake answered Friday December 23 2005, 12:58 pm: You know what? I think you're a gullible teen who has just started to follow those imaginary catagories called labels and started to buy expensive makeup and clothing. Really, out of all the dumb teen drama issues, labels are probably the most superfluous.
naimee answered Friday December 23 2005, 10:18 am: I totally understand what you mean. Whenever I was overweight I hung out with the "rich/popular" people. But people still saw me as this fat person who tried too hard to hang out with the popular people. I'm not rich & I definitely didn't care to be popular at all, but in the same sense I felt totally out of place because they liked me, they'd love hanging out with me because I was their funny fat friend. But, people would make jokes to them saying "Are you only hanging out with that fat cow to do her a favor?" or "Is her mother paying you to hang out with her?" My friends would always stick up for me though, they'd tell the people to just shut the hell up and keep their dumbass comments to themselves. =] So that made me feel good. Eventually I stopped hanging out with the popular people, I just felt out of touch and joined a different group, which is no where near popular. In the end, the people you hang out with in highschool will probably not be there for you as you grow older. People grow apart, so I don't think it really matters.
Don't listen to those stupid people that say shit about you. They're just jealous that they aren't hanging out with the popular people, & that's just how it is. As far as you being scene, if you're popular friends think that's gay and de-friend you, then so be it! =] As long as you have that ONE best friend all the time, that's all that matters. If they choose to not be your friend anymore because of the way you are behind close doors, they aren't worth anything anyways! =] [ naimee's advice column | Ask naimee A Question ]
