JACKiEx3 answered Wednesday December 28 2005, 9:58 pm: you are definietly doing the right thing. staying true to yourself is the most important thing. never change yourself to fit in. the friends you have love you for who you are and thats ALL you need.
in a few years. looking back high school is going to be such a small part of your life and you can be happy that you stayed strong.
DaNcE_In_ThE_RaIn answered Wednesday December 28 2005, 9:55 pm: Of course you're doing the right thing..People are probably just jealous that they don't have the guts to be who they want to be and not who people want them to be. Don't listen to what they say it dosen't matter anyway. Forget their lies.. Be you! [ DaNcE_In_ThE_RaIn's advice column | Ask DaNcE_In_ThE_RaIn A Question ]
not_your_star34 answered Wednesday December 28 2005, 9:30 pm: Yes, you're doing the right thing. You should feel good because not many people have the guts to wear, do, and say what they really want to. That's one reason that a lot of people look, act, and do the same thing.
You shouldn't act a certain way because people say things about you. You sound confident, because you aren't afraid to be yourself. If you acted/dressed a certain way just for people to like and accept you, you might make 'friends,' but they wouldn't really be 'friends.' They would like you for what you're pretending to be, not for who you are.
People who are scared to be themselves envy people who are proud of who they are. Always stay true to you and ALWAYS be proud to be who you are!
xomegaroni answered Wednesday December 28 2005, 9:25 pm: yeah you are!! i like being the one that sticks out & i respect people that do it too. as long as you're being yourself it doesn't matter.
naimee answered Wednesday December 28 2005, 9:23 pm: Of course you are! I love people that are unique, and that stand away from everyone else. You aren't trying to be something you're not, you're just being yourself. & It takes balls for someone to do that! You're lucky that you can have originality, because some girls & guys are just so into themselves, and want to fit in with everyone else. :) You're definately doing the right thing. Keep it up!

HCOxBABE answered Wednesday December 28 2005, 9:22 pm: Yes, you're doing the right thing. It's good that you have originality & they don't. I can't stand those people who think you're weird because of the kind of clothes you wear. Don't listen to them, they're just afraid to be different.
