i wanted to learn how to break dance since 4th grade. But my mom and teacher said no because its hard. So i didnt mention breakdancing that much for long time until 7th grade my uncle's nephew taught me how to do some simple moves. But he just visits like once a year. So i didnt learn it in 8th grade, i heard my friend's bf knows how to breakdance but he didnt want to teach me, he just said he cant breakdance. 9th grade, finally he taught how to do some simple stuff too, and my friend asked me and said" how come you wanna learn how to breakdance out of no where?" and im afraid that people will think im a poser. The question is am i poser for wanting to learn how to breakdance?

your friend just sort of sounds a bit jealous on the fact that she doesn't want to learn something as cool as breakdancing :]
MelLeDisko answered Saturday October 28 2006, 12:04 pm: You're not a poser at all. Just because someone might have a certain opinion of you, doesn't mean it's true. I know this is going to sound corny, but it's true. What only really matters is what you think about yourself, and if you want to breakdance, breakdance.
If your friends/anybody mention anything again, just be like,"I've actually been wanting to breakdance since fourth grade really, but there's nobody around here who knows how, so I haven't really had many opportunities to learn it."
If your friends are going to call you a poser, then they're not really your friends. Friends should understand and like you for you, and it shouldn't matter what your interests are.
And anyways, you've been wanting to learn for five years, and you know that, and that's all that matters. I personally didn't even KNOW what breakdancing was in fourth grade, so it's not even like you're doing it to be cool, which THAT would come off as fake. But like I said, you're not.
BeenThoughAll answered Saturday October 28 2006, 10:29 am: no way would you be a poser. people like differnt things. i hate that in poeple. like just becasue they wear preppy colthes they have to be all happy and girly and they dont, andi know some goth people that like rap / hip hop. there not being a poser they are being there self and if someone getts made at you for doing the breakdanceing then they arent you friend at all becasue a true friend would support you and maybe even help you with it.

I mean, if you suddenly decided to learn to break dance because you wanted to look cool, then yeah, you might be a bit of a poser, but from what you've said your definately not. [ fizzicicci's advice column | Ask fizzicicci A Question ]
