Exactly binka. I don't mind if you're doing it because you like the style but if you're doing it for attention and to be "cool" and "popular"
I would like to peirce something someday but I'll still be Me, Rachel and I will wear my dorky shorts in weird colors with my Beatles T-Shirt. What i don't agree with is if I peirced my belly button just so I could look more "punk"
Hope that makes sense..
~Rachel
TM, you label Christians? WTF? It's not as if we act or dress a certain way or anything. It's like saying everyone with curly hair should be labeled "Jewish". That statement REALLY upset me. :mad: All of those labels were really terrible. I really hope you weren't too serious when you posted that.
I agree that people who are trying to be who they really aren't should stop. It's ridiculous. I don't fit into any category really. Just wear what's comfortable and be myself. People don't like that, I have lost friends because of who I really am or what I wear. I'm glad I lost them because they were the ones who were spending thousands of dollars to buy the same top that could be found at Wal-Mart for 10$. :rolleyes:
That irked me off too Prima. I am not a religeous person at all and I do not like people who try to impose religion on me but if It's just a regular person who has a certain faith what's wrong with that?? They should be "avoided"?
~Rachel
My question is how do you know that these "posers" aren't doing it for the same reason you are? Maybe somebody just wants to have blue hair and a mohawk but they don't consider themselves punk. You never know, and it's not fair to just see someone and label them or assume that because they dress this or that way they are a poser. Have you ever seen SLC punk? If you haven't I highly recommend it, the moral of the story is, that in the end everyone is a poser.Quote:

TM I also agree with what has been said about that statement. I'm a homosexual so does that mean I dress a certain way, or act a certain way, or that I only associate with other homosexuals?
And just because you feel you aren't any of those things why can't you still hang out with those people? I had a blast in high school, and I was the biggest band geek, I was in the science club and debate team. I wasn't anything cool or special but I was well liked because I didn't judge anyone, I was friends with everyone. I hung out with all those people you sterotype, the punks, goths, nerds, jocks. I didn't care what anyone was, I just wanted to meet lots of people and have a good time.
Well said Uaba :)
The people I say are posers are actually posers. Unless they have developped a new sense of style and attitude over a month, I don't see how they could have changed from girly-girly to skater.
I am always willing to be friends with whoever wants to be my friend, no matter what their style. It's just that people tend to group themselves up as skaters or preps. Maybe it's just my school. Anyways, overall I agree with what you said. :)
Okay...
I suppose you can't say someone is a poser till you know them. I always say don't judge someone till you actually know them. Your right Ubassoon:) I guess when I wrote this post it was because of my "friend" Kaitlin who does a bunch of things to be "cool" and "popular." That's what I don't like.
TM please think carefully before you post it. I can't tell you how many times that I've blurted out something like "It's so annoying when kids share their AIM screename with their parents" only to find the person I'm talking to does:o Open your mind a little. Talk to the slutty preps even if they don't care. I used to hate school but now I love it because I've talked to everyone even the troubled kids who swear and beat each other up.
On a different note the moral of this post is
Be yourself and don't change the way you are to be considered cool!
~Rachel
When I read Tikeya's Mom's post my jaw literally dropped.
How would you like to be in the category of moron blondes?
I bet you would not like that one bit.
I CANNOT STAND when people label others. Everyone is supposed to be different, imagine what this world would be like if everyone was exactly the same or near the same. Let people be who they want to be and not lump them all into a category based on hair color, clothing, friends, etc.
Not all of them are truly anorexic. Some of them could have medical conditions or have an extremely high metabolism. A classmate of mine named Megan has an extremely high metabolism, so does my friend Laura. Laura eats like a hog, and you would never know it- some of the stuff she eats, if I were to eat it I would gain 20 pounds. And if they truly are anorexic the majority of them don’t choose to do it on their free-will. It is a serious medical condition.Quote:

What's wrong with being a teachers pet? Don't be jealous of other people just because they are liked more by the teacher. I seem to notice that a lot of "teachers pets" are extremely smart- when they are out making millions for coming up with the cure to the common cold and you are working for a dog poop scooping company you will see why they were so in tuned to their studies and had such a good relationship with their teacher.Quote:
teachers pets
Is that because you fancy yourself perfect and are in your own little category of "little princesses"? (If you judge people like that and put them into groups I could understand why you would fit in nowhere.)Quote:
I fit in nowhere
Sad just plain sad.
:mad: :( :mad: :( :mad: :( :mad: :(
Uabasson & Primabella- Amen sista! I am by your sides! :D
WHOO HOO YLL!!!!!
My friend Max is a "teachers pet" as you would call him and I swear he will be the next Bill Gates! He is so smart and that comes in handy because he always helps me on my homework and is really funny!
You might want to try being friends with a "Geek" too. I was raised by a "geek" (my dad) and I get along with them really well.
~Rachel
I really don't know what people could call me.
Right off the bat people call me a "wigger" or consider me one. I find it really offensive because I don't really understand the word "wigger". Supposedly it's a white person, trying to be a black person. Now, How are you supposed to act a certain race?
No one said, a white person has to be this way, a chinese person that way, and a black person another way - or atleast no one should say that.
I wear pyramid spikes sometimes. some days I wear all black. Sometimes I wear bright colors. Basically I wear whatever I have to wear.
The thing I hate is how this Freshmen walk around and constantly say "OMG, DO YYYOOUU LYKE MUH SHOOOES?!?? I GOT THEM AT HOT TOPIC."
Ok, I could careless where you got them or even if you're wearing shoes, lol.
Ugh.. Just another thing about shoes and the moron Dean (eye-liner lipstick boy)
My friend Nicole got a pair of Phat Farm shoes. As Dean sees it, they are for black people. He comes up to her at lunch the other day gave her a dirty look and goes "What's up with the Phat farm shoes?" So I go "What, are they took black for you? Sorry Dean, not everyone's as racist and ignorant as you." He shut up and walked away.
I seriously think he's afraid of me. I know for sure, I could go off on him in a second. He couldn't even go against me verbally. However, I'm not sure about phsyically. I wouldn't tempt him to fight. Even if he was to hit me, it even proves my opinion on him more, he is a coward.
Anyways, enough off-topic things. :)
This thread reminds me of the song "Imagine" By John Lennon.
Imagine there's no heaven
It's easy if you try
No hell below us
Above us only sky
Imagine all the people
Living for today...
Imagine there's no countries
It isn't hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion too
Imagine all the people
Living life in peace...
You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will be as one
Imagine no possessions
I wonder if you can
No need for greed or hunger
A brotherhood of man
Imagine all the people
Sharing all the world...
You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will live as one
I'd love that!:DQuote:

That statement is so true.
I'm not singleing you out, Rachel but, You aren't the FIRST to wear shorts and a Beatles T-Shirt. Therefor, You are a poser too. As well as myself and basically anyone in this world, lol.
Yea I know...so sad...I'm a poser
:D
I agree with Ubasoon that everyone is a poser but I just dislike the people who dress a certain way or do something just so they can become cool.
So again the moral of this post
*Wear what ever the hell you want, live you life anyway you want, but be yourself!*
~Rachel
I like that Lennon song. :) I don't think "religion" is necessarily important but faith is. Even if you don't have a faith you should never hate people because they have one. It's called respect.
Amen to that YLL :D A lot of girls in my classes are really skinny but I see them eating like crazy. My friend thought she was fat and gave up on eating. I noticed she was getting pale and bony, so every day I would ask her what she ate for lunch. If she told me she didn't eat a lunch I lectured her (You know that 'you're so stupid! how could you do this to yourself!' stuff). This year she is nice and thin again, meat on the bones and a nice colored complexion. She had a problem with herself, she got over it. It's a medical problem, not something to call others.
About the geeks, I swear this girl in my sisters' school found a cure to a small cancer. I got this from my sister and I'm 100% she wouldn't lie about anything like this--anyways bottom line is this girl is smart and using it to help others. One of my best friends is a teacher's pet and I admit it used to get me nervous how he always had a question to ask but in the end he will be the winner and I totally respect him for that.
Sorry this is going a bit off topic. In my school, everyone labels everyone. But still, the 'losers' are starting to hang out with the 'preps' and 'jocks' and the 'punks' are hanging out with the 'geeks'. When people get to know eachother it's beyond what they wear or how they look, it's their personality that really matters and who they really are.
God I feel like I'm giving some kind of sermon. Hehe I'm done. ;)
Edit: I admit I am a poser too. That statement is very true. It's just that if you go out of your way and be someone you are not...that's just wrong.
*Cheers* :D ;) :pQuote:
