Why the heck is everyone labeling me? I am so tierd of it! They call me tomboy and goth!(dont worry I'm not anti goth). They think I'm goth because I love hevy metal, scary movies and books, and I do where black alot but its usally just one peice of clothing. And they call me a tomboy because I have really short (10 year old boy short) hair (its natrully black), I love basketball, ice hockey, soccer, tennis, golf, hanging with the boys, playing video games, stuff like that. I dont care about my aperance I just put on whatevers clean! How do I get them to stop calling me "gothboy"?

Just tell them "Call me wat you want but in the end I am just me" after awhile of that they will get tied of it and just go with what ever they call you...in the end you win and they stop

everyone labels other people if they don't look
like them and Hey! , you can't stop them because
people don't care if they hurt other peoples
feelings. My friend is for real goth and people
are always being mean to her when she can't handle it any more she comes to me and I say to her to
not listeen to them and be yourselve.
I hope I helped,

It might be hard when you constantly hear it, but if you don't belive the things that people say, let it go. It's not worth stressing about it because those people don't care.

superstarblue89 answered Thursday March 20 2008, 3:44 pm: stereotypes are part of life...you shouldn't change who you are just to get their approval. Just be who you are and like who you are. Stereotypes will follow you wherever you go. You just have to learn to deal. As long as you love yourself that's all that matters. People call me a prep just because of the way that I dress, but when they get to know me they learn that I'm not at all. I'm just me and I like that. Once they get to know you they'll know who you really are and like you for it. [ superstarblue89's advice column | Ask superstarblue89 A Question ]
mariahneu answered Thursday March 20 2008, 3:05 pm: Stereotypes suck. It's a basic part of life that most people have grown fond of and do, without even realizing it.
I wouldn't let it get to you.
They're just ignorant people that can't modernize to extroversion nor think outside of the box.
People set standards in their mind and expect people to follow those standards, otherwise, they label them as "strange" or "weird," when they really aren't.
Set your own standards and be your own person. Do not conform (that's what they want).
Uniqueness is scarce nowadays, and it's up to you to get that trend rolling again.
Too many people are worried about what others think - I say, "Screw them!"
You're being yourself and that's all that important, if others can't accept your choices, then screw em'.
If you need anymore help, just ask.
Best Regards,
Mariah
P.S. I know EXACTLY how you feel - I've always felt like an outsider, and I probably always will be; there's nothing wrong with that. Think of yourself as unique and interesting (original), not as strange or weird. [ mariahneu's advice column | Ask mariahneu A Question ]
