Young Hippies

I am 15. A hippie. I am often called a freak. I guess I am a streotype hippie: i wear the glasses, cool shoes(I think they're cool), Cool jeans(they aren't that popular abercrombie or levis shit) I listen to pschedelic music like Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, The Who, Animals, Beatles etc. I like all of it. Am I a freak? I can't really realate to anyone else at my school, so sometimes I wonder if the emos and skaters are right. Please help. I need someone to relate to.

 

emos & skaters are freaks

 

i love you. and i know how you feel =]

emos and skaters are freaks i agree. and if you went to my school me and you could be freaks together. i love wearing long skirts and pants with little bells on the bottom. i love the glasses and i do get hassled at school. but it makes me happy... to know that no-one else in my year is enjoying the life im living. think about that.
peace

 

What the fuck. Nobody is a freak. Some conform to this, some conform to that. Some genuinely are just nuts. That's all.

Why would the "emos & skaters" be "right"? Because they're group-centered and you want to be part of a group? And what's there to be right about, anyway? What kinda clothes to wear and music to listen to? Fuck that, be yourself, and I don't mean going out of your way to be outlandish or "hip".

If I were you, I wouldn't conform just to fit in. I feel that doing so means sinking pretty fucking low. You understand? I've got friends (and hoes in different area codes.. ????) who are just.. friends. They don't belong to any particular group, they don't have to. Genuine people accept others for who they are, even if they ARE part of a clique.

High school is the last place I saw an immature clique-based community. Praise satan.

 

wave your freak flag proudly!!!

 

Almost... cut my hair... just the other day...

 

Im nearly 14 and i know how u feel! Everyone at school tries way too hard to fit in, and i dont want to. If because of that i get called names n bagged nearly everyday, then oh well. Its a small price to pay for me being myself lol. I really don't care what others think of me, IM happy with myself and my life so they can go and conform lol, leave me out of it.
ForgottenMusicFan n Praying4Peace come to my school!!! hahah we'll all be freaks together *hugs*
peace
love

Just remember once you are out of school most of your social classes iwll dissaper or be unimportant. i know all the rich preppy kids in my class are now working for min wage at mcdonalds. be a hippy be proud think happy thoughts

 

hun dont worry about it. We are all freaks in our own way. but stay true to yourself or happiness can never be reached. stay freaky!

I think, to an extent, we're all "freaks."
Don't even give those people the time of day---they're NOT worth it. Clearly they only care about what people wear and what their interests are, and, to me, that's pretty shallow and ridiculous. If they're that unaccepting, they aren't worth it so don't even let it get to you.

Be who you are and don't worry about it. Don't ever be ashamed.

 

thanks for all of the support you guys, it really helps to know that i'm not alone.

 

when i 14 i was the same way. i was really concerned what other people thought of me and if i was really dressing wierd.
ill be 18 in almost 2 weeks now and i dont even think about my appearance anymore.
if its how you like to dress and the music that you love to listen to then why stop?

people judge in fear of being judged themselves.

i hope that helped

 

Keep staying true to yourself, sister. People who judge you over silly, trivial matters are not worth the time of day. Those who accept you for who you are are the people who will hold significance in your life. Never change yourself for anyone.

 

I find that if you dress as you wish and listen to whatever music you want, just stay true to yourself, then you will get much better friends than if you conformed to the group. Don't forget, everywhere you go, there will be people who understand you.

 

Your not a freak. I'm just like you, and there's ton's others like us too. Were just awesome. =]

 

I know how you feel, being I am almost fifteen and understand you.
Everyone is a "freak" in some way. If this weren't true, and everyone conformed to the skaters and emos and whoever else thinks they run this show-- think how awfully boring this world would be.
If you can be yourself, more power to ya! Too many of the same faces everywhere, wearing the same clothes, sharing the same thoughts... might as well not add to it because others feel you should .
peace&&love

You do realize that you're stereotyiping the rest of the school, right.

 

^^ heheheh
exactly.


It's not cool to blatantly stereotype. Or be a burn victim. Just not cool :[

 

im 16
i love life
im proud to be a hippie
just like other people are glad to be what they are
its all good
all you have to do is just stay real you know what i mean.
alrighty well, peace!

 

Does it even matter whether you're a "freak" or not? If you care so much about fitting in, maybe you should do just that. >_>

...Sorry. XD
