ok so don't let those people bring you down...that's your style so work it the best you can...who you tryin to impress...at my school nobody really worries about how the other people look...we worry about ourselves...only the really mean people who are jealous who'd pick on people...maybe they are just jealous that they can't be totally original like you...so just overlook them or tell them to worry about themselves...hope i helped

Oh jeez, i personally think that your style is hot.Aha. I mean who cares if your one of them or not. They can go .. im not even going to start. But yeah, have your own style. Dont try to be like anyone else, personally i think thats boring. If everyone wore hollister , dude, this would be one boring world. I wear hollister and all different kinds of clothing. And, yeah the thing at my school is all about hollister and a&f.Do your own thing. Its your clothes. Its your style. Not theirs. (:

I hope I helped!

Its great that you're comfortable being yourself and that you're not following whats "in." The people who are picking on you are really fake and should just get a life. If you are comfortable with who you are and the way you look, ignore their comments and live your life normally. The people who pick on you are insecure and they need someone to make fun of so they can make themselves feel better or feel like they have high status.

I love the way you think if they don't want to let you be yourself then that's just too bad don't let them get you into peer pressure real friends are willing to accept their friends just the way they are or want to be unless if they are doing something to harm themselves.

Just ignore them, if they can't accept you for who you are, or how you dress, then they don't deserve to be acknowledged by you.

Ahh. I live in CT as well. People here are such bitchy jerks.

I think you should keep your style. If it makes you happy, then its fine. Next time someone calls you gay or a fag, ignore them. Its hard, I know. Or ask them if they know what that really means. Stand up to them. I think thats so hot when a guy does that....ANYWAY...ahah. ;)
I say stick to your style. Who cares what other people think. Ignore them, eventually they'll stop. And if they don't, its cause they are bored with their own preppy kid lifestyle.

Hey.

SCREW THEM! Seriously- do what ever the heck you want [within reason, of course] and don't pay attention to those Hollister-wearing fakes. Sure, I wear Hollister, AE, Aeropostale, etc, but I only do because I like to look nice when I'm at school and around. I'm not following the crowd or anything- because I'm definitely not popular =P.

So my advice is to keep your head up high- and do what you want. The words "gay" and "fag" have lost their real meanings- and people use them loosely. Trust me, I know how it feels to be called those things- and it hurts. Once I stopped caring what people thought and said- it actually did stop. I'm not even kidding. If people know it gets to you, they're going to keep doing it.

i would say don't change...at all.
you know, if people don't like you it's their problem, not yours.
let them actually get to know you instead of your appearence.
