Answer 1

tellll  them to fuckk off and dont listen to themm you are who you are no one gonna changee that

Answer 2

Just be yourself, these people are meaningless and wont even matter after highschool, just keep doing what makes you happy

Answer 3

Yeah I think your friends are crazy because emo/goth and preppy are so opposite! You're lucky to have your own sense of style, so just be yourself and stick with it. Teenagers usually want everyone to fit a stereotype, but as they get older it becomes less important.  

Answer 4

there are bigger fish to fry... You are going thru different trends to find yourself.. or.. perhaps you like exploring different trends to find what best fits you..have fun with it..and in the end you are ony the judge of yourself..

Dont worry NOR care what others think

Answer 5

Just dont care.

Its the exact same way with me,

Their going to hate you anyways.

"Its better to be loved for who you are, than hated for what your not."

right?

you probably have a couple of really good friends, stick with them.

**** everyone else.

Answer 6

Just be cheerful and positive. Also the idea that your friends will hate you for something like that is mostly in your head.

BTW, learn to spell stereotypes.

Answer 7

I get goth shouted to me when i out with my friend, who IS a goth, But just because im with a goth i MUST be one too?!?!

Thats stupid ignorance 4 ya

especially from chavs!

Be who u wanna be girl!!!!

u know who u are, let people think what they like coz u know theyre wrong!

u r not the only person gettin this shitt - wankkers like that are everywhere

its too easy 2 care about what people think (i know im very guilty of that) but dont. Why should some piece of **** ruin ur life???

Answer 8

who caaares.

stop trying to get attention.

Answer 9

Everyone has to deal with them its a fact of life. But instead of letting it bother you, just ignore them. Seriously, I mean i have been called a prep all of my life because i love dressing up & looking good, but you know what? i take it as a compliment!!  & I think everyone should do the same. I mean look at you: Goth/Emo person, You should take it as a compliment. Goth/Emo people have great tastes in music and are usually really deep and what not. Instead of feeling like everyone is saying it to rile you up just let it bounce off of you.  

Answer 10

I like black with bright colors. Tell them to F*CK off.

Answer 11

Just detach yourself. You already know that you don't want to be effected by this, so don't. People have a very unnecessary habit, we love to put other people into categories. You should be an example and refuse to do it to others no matter what.  

Answer 12

If you know who you really are, and who your not willingly trying to be stereotypes shouldn't be a bother.

You like what you like, but what you choose too show appearance wise is what people think you are.

Thats just how teen stereotype works.

:]  

Answer 13

Honestly, don't let it phase you. Be yourself, and who cares what the others say. You aren't impressing them. As long as you are happy with yourself, they're opinions shouldn't matter much.
