So, this is pretty long but I'd really be thankful if anyone could help me with this:
I'm 14/f and I am a strong non-comformist but at the same time, I want to do the best things I can so I can slap it down on a college application. The thing that I very, very much want to do is SODA but I didn't get in this year v.v The reason is because of me being me. Our school is very biased and judges everyone on how they look [surprise, surprise.] I love rock, metal, heavy music stuff and I wear clothing that doesn't exactly scream "Babysit my kids". I mean, I love wearing what I wear. It's comfortable and to me, it's very pretty. But my mom is trying to change me, yet again. She keeps on telling me to wear more colors and dress like a pretty girl and stuff so I can get into SODA next year. I really want to get into SODA but I don't like the idea that I have to change who I am to get into a program that now I know as a program ran by judgemental people. Ahg! I don't know what to do. I really, extremely, majorly want to get into SODA but that would mean that I would have to dress like a happy little good girl and I really don't want to do that. But a part of me think that I have to in order to get into SODA.
I don't know what to do. Should I change my appearance to get into SODA or not? What are your views on this?

Its your life and live it to the fullest, not the way people want you to be. If your happy just the way you are, find another club you want to join, yet again, if you really want to join, kep sending an application, if they only judge you on how you look, then in my own opinion it isn't worth it. I hope i really helped!!
