And now im running out of peoplle to smoke with... any one else now what im talking about or am i crazy?

I think I know what your talking about. But over here it towards different stereotypes than the hippie one. I think sometimes people try acting like something their not to try and find themselves.

 

People that are hippies becose they want be cool are not hippies.

 

My friends are an odd crew...I have Goth and preppie friends....a wanna be cowboy or two.....QUITE a few rednecks......and a small handfull of actual hippies , like myself , but the COOL thing is we LEARN form one another....to see things thru each others eyes.....and ignore one anothers shortcomings.
I wouldnt trade them for the world .

 

You can also toke with friends who are not hippie at all. Who cares in which subculture they seem/try to fit in? Alright, a neonazi wouldn't be particular fun to me of course, but skater, metalhead, punk, reggae-lovers, nerds, goths, if they are alright what's the problem? Most of us eventually grow above of our lables anyway.

 

:agree:


Being a hippie is life style. Just acept that some people ain't hippies.

 

If they're trying to be hippies take use of that. Get them to help people and spread the love, if not wait for it to grow out of fashion.

 

Yeah, or rub them in with mud, if they don't like it you can confront them with their fake-hippieness.

 

"Do you ever feel like there is no one cool in your town?"

Sometimes I feel that there are not alot of people my age that are cool in my town....but there are cool people all around. I really don't have a close knit group of friends in the area...but there are people to hang out with if I wanted to....even though they may not be your definition of "hippie"


"All my friend are not cool."

By not cool do you mean, not (insert your definition of hippie)??? And they must be cool in some way if you choose to call them your friends.


"Like i know some hippies but they do it to be cool.( when did becoming a hippie be cool???)"

Hippie is something you are called by other people who are making a judgement. I'm not sure how many cool points you get for being a hippie, but I might like to find out.


"And all my other friends just do stuff to be cool like they are never them selfs?"

It's called being 14....you, yourself have no idea who you are, trust me....before you go off on me that you do in fact already know who you are, think about how ridiculous it is for you or your friends only having a minimal number of years on planet earth.....all you and they know is that you are YOU....that's all.

Stop shopping for brand labels when it comes to friends.....friends come in all shapes, sizes, colors and prices.....if you really want to label people, try doing it when they have no clothes on....it comes out with more clarity.


i dont get it! I had one friend that was cool me and him would laugh at every one else when they where gay. but now even him. And now im running out of peoplle to smoke with... any one else now what im talking about or am i crazy? Well, people change; even friends. Some grow closer, others apart. You're not crazy, you're just on a different path...

 

When my school found out I was a hippy I got so much shit! I was name-called, I was made fun of, some people even through things at me. If it hadn't been for my close friends I wouldn't have got through it. But soon people laid off. I started trying to spread the love around my school by any means I could. I wrote poems which were put on display in the library, I started giving random kids hugs even if they had just called me a name. I started smiling at strangers and hugging the emo kids! (ha-ha, they really hated that)
Basically, what I'm trying to say is; I found that even though the majority of my school has alot of problems they're not all bad people. Some of them have had hard lives I admit, some of them just need someone to smile at them once in a while.
It still upsets me that there are no real hippies at my school, sometimes I get real lonely when the other kids are talking about "pop" music and I'm in the corner listening to the grateful dead. But that's what I have this site for. I like the fact that I have somehwere to excape to every now and then.
Most of the people on this site are real hippies, have fun with them! I mean...it may be hard to smoke with them but you won't find any fakes or phonys here.
I get bummed out to when I think I have so many years ahead of me being lonely, but then I just think about all the years I'm gonna have when I'm older living on the road or in a commune somewhere.

Peace and love wished to you and all your kind my brother

What do you mean they "found out you were a hippie"? Did you wear a shirt that said hippie or all of a sudden did something publicly hippie? I just don't know what you mean by that....

But hugging the people that make fun of you is the best tactic.....leaves them speechless most of the time....

 

YES....and telling them...love ya.......leaves them stunned in their tracks !

 

Well, not everyone who refuses a hug is immediatly a person who dislikes hippies. If some tyedied, beadswearing 14 year old came to me at school hugging me I'd probably decline rightaway.

 

just smoke by yourself lol.. more for you...

eh, there aren't any hippies in my school, sadly, it's mostly all "ghetto" wana be's except for a few rockers that are cool to hang out with

 

I get the feeling that there are a lot of people on this thread who are a lot younger than I am (I'm 50, if you must know). Being to some degree a "hippie" or "flower child" has long since become, for me, a way of living in the world and making sense of what I'm here to do. It has nothing to do with "coolness"--after all, "hippie" was "cool" when I was 10 years old, but by the time I was in college, it was all over. That was the "disco" era, and the beginning of the "yuppie" culture that has pretty much become modern American society in the past 30 years.

Being committed to universal love, peace among nations, tolerance and diversity, and true justice (especially for the poor and the oppressed) is simply not ever going to be "cool". It's always going to be against the grain. Get used to it and get to groovin' on it. You'll find your people as you do your part.

 

You sound like the daughter I never had...hang in there.

 

yea alot of my friends are fake hippies, they just copy me, ehich I hate so much. Not hate them, hate that they're copying me

 

I dont really have many hippie freinds. But all my friends are cool cause they are just themselves. I'm lucky that i dont have any fake friends or fake hippie friends.

 

true dat, yo.
hahaha.

seriously, that's the way my friends are. =]

but i have had some fake friends, you know, the kind that lie a lot just to make themselves sound cooler. it doesn't help when you confront them either, just saying.... =]

 

Yeah, I never really fit in anywhere. I'd just find people I thought were genuine and cool to hang out with. But it seems those are running scarce. I used to have a hippie friend who was a girl, but she moved to San Francisco (typical!) to go to school. Since then, she has not talked to me. I'm not sure what happened. Hippies are hard to find in the desert. If anyone wants to come visit, though, you are definitely welcome to! There just isn't anything to do around here, except toke and watch a desert sunset. Those kick ass.
