You can be preppy and punk at the same time, as long as its you! [ CheRrYToP_x3's advice column | Ask CheRrYToP_x3 A Question ]

It doesn't matter what you look like, you don't have to dress like a scene kid with blonde/black hair just to make people know you like screamo etc, do it because you want to look like that. You can listen to that music and still dress preppy.
I guess I was kind of like you a few years ago, I didn't want people getting the wrong impression of me so I dressed like a punk girl. I still do sometimes but now a lot of the time I wear polos and cute shirts, and no stranger would know that I'm in a band or work the underground music scene, but it doesn't matter because my friends do and that's all I really care about.
If you feel like you're wearing a mask, just go for it and do whatever you want. Wear what you like and act how you want, not just so people see you as what you are/want to be, but so you're comfortable with who you are. Find fun clothes, dye your hair how you like it, just be yourself. And yeah it's easier said than done but you'll get it.
christina answered Monday July 2 2007, 10:43 pm: If you wanna dye your hair, and dress in the styles you really like & listen to the music you want proudly, then do so! Who cares what people think about you? If they don't like you, then fuck them -- you don't need them anyways.
X_Amanda_X answered Monday July 2 2007, 10:41 pm: Then change.
No better time than the present.
You really don't need to wear that mask to impress people.
Don't worry about what people think or say, just have your voice heard.
