emo much?


Question Posted Tuesday July 24 2007, 5:51 pm

13/f.Recently, I've been classified as a prep. Nothing else just a prep.And to tell you the truth, I don't like it. I like to watch Anime, I love flippy hair, I don't know. That's not prep at all. I tried talking to my friend's about it, and they think it's a sign of becoming emo. And I have absolutly no problem with that, but I'm afraid it might change my relationship's with alot of people. But then I suppose they're not your true friends, correct? Also, this has become to be a bit of a problem because since they guy I like is in fact emo, my friend's think that he's changing me. But it's not him changing me. I'm changing myself. I'm not doing it on purpose, my tastes are just changing. My 8th grade school year is more than likely going to turn out a peice of crap because I'm too busy trying to find my self in the middle of school work, boys, friends, and my family.

Is there any advice you have that might solve my problem? I'm so stuck and I've been crying alot lately because I'm so worried. Is something wrong with me or what?

Anything's greatly appreciated, seriously.
Thank you so much in advance♄

you should live as much as possible while you're still in middle school and not be so caught up in labels. kids in middle school seem extremely naive when you compare them to stupid high school kids. in my humble opinion high school kids seem to have grown up too much and are intimidating, but that's probably just me.

if i could go back and do it over again, i'd get most of my firsts over with in middle school, but this is probably horrible advice.

but um, labels aren't nearly as big of a deal as you're making them. it isn't about finding yourself, it's about living and just becoming more and more like yourself. yknow what i'm saying?

have fun and good luck

Don't worry- everything will be okay. I lived through my 8th grade year, regardless of how hard/awful it was. Who knows? For you it could be the best year of your life! And then after that you're DONE with middle school! It's the hardest thing you'll ever go through but belive me it's worth it not committing sucide (which i was very close to doing in 8th grade year) once you get to highschool!

Don't worry about your friends lableing you. They're not your true friends if they are doing that anyway. But if anyone hassles you about it just say "well i'm really not prep. I'm not really anything i guess" and then sort of laugh it off. Don't let it upset you.

But if this ends up changing your relationships with people (which it probably won't) then it's probably for the better!


There's nothing wrong with crying a lot. I went through a phase like that when i was 13. It's all because of hormones. Once i was about 14 1/2 i cried a lot less.


feel free to ask me anything else you want to.


<3 i'm here for you. :)

Why are you even paying any attention to stereotypes? Stereotypes mean NOTHING. Just because someone classifies you under a category, why do YOU feel that way about yourself? Your friends are not your true friends if they're getting all worried about something stupid and saying stuff like "omg omg she's gonna turn emo!!" FYI, emo isn't even a stereotype, it's a type of music.

You are the one who decides for yourself, not the people around you.

This isn't what you want to hear, but that usually doesn't stop me because it's the truth.

Labels like "prep" and "emo" are stupid. I mean I understand that as humans, we really have to classify people into groups, but I find terms like prep and emo to be so juvinielle.

Be who you want to be. Whether it's someone who's preppy or someone who's emotional, it has to be you. People change. No one remains the same forever. You even said it yourself, those who turn on the new you aren't your real friends. Your 8th grade year won't be a piece of crap. And no one can change you. They can influence you, but change will always come from inside yourself. If you're happy with yourself, that's all that matters.
