Do you even know what a poser is? |:
How does her avatar scream Poser? 0__o
Did you know that preppy once meant you had hand-me down clothes? -has teh facts-
And how is that?
Just remember that only YOU can say how you really feel, and only YOU can dictate the way you act; NOT a random word like 'goth'. Because, after all, that is just a word, without real action or intent behind it most of the time.Hmph. I hate how you labels-are-for-cans people forget that some are the original. D: There are many strains of labels, and some people like them.I am me.
And guess what?
You are you.
We were both born an original, and to post something or to think of yourself as limited to a one-word being (such as 'jock', 'prep', 'goth', 'emo', etc.) is an insult to yourself and to what has been given to you.
Judging people will get you nowhere, just make you unnecessary enemies, and I hope that after reading this post, many people will stop and think twice before the next time they go out and call people random names without even talking or getting to know them first.
Anyways, why would you want to talk about cliquey stuff on the internet? An internet is, after all, an escape from all that, because people are more free to be themselves, and nobody can see what color their hair is, or what they are wearing. Most of the time, you can't even see their actions. If you wish to talk about cliques, take a step into a high school, and you can see how horrible the whole idea of labels is.
Yeah, enough with my ranting. Hope I offered some good words of advice to some folks out there.Just remember that only YOU can say how you really feel, and only YOU can dictate the way you act; NOT a random word like 'goth'. Because, after all, that is just a word, without real action or intent behind it most of the time.
Be real. Be you. NOT a copy.
" Then, might i ask, what are they for? Surely, they are not for people, because people are people. ). Some people may like them, but that doesn't mean that it's right at all, or that I necessarily agree with it. If you are into stereotypes, that only shows me what type of person you are (and no, I don't mean that as in jock, prep, etc.), and that's fine. If you want to be like that, then go for it. But I'm not saying that I will approve of your decisions or really want to be around you. ), I have no idea what you mean by the sentence, "I hate how you labels-are-for-cans people forget that some are the original". My one guess would be that you are talking about that we are somehow against originality? If this is the case, I don't have much to say about that. It makes absolutely no logical, moral, sense of why WE are the ones lacking originality. YOU are the one sitting over there telling me that I should tell people that they are only one way, that they belong to a 'cult' of people who live and breathe exactly as they do. . But what it's general message is, is that we should create color, for the world should never be grey. Their avatar even matches the message . I ask of you 'judgers' (thought you may like a label as well, since you enjoy them so much ), how exactly is creating words and labels for people creating color in our world? Under each label that you have ever called somebody is a soul, a human being. They are not set to be one way, they are living and breathing and their own. We are all different, nobody on this earth or in this universe is even remotely the same when it really comes down to it. All there is are people, who are all different, and who's only similarity is the natural-born ability to love. What im asking now is that you spread the love, not the hate of different 'stereotypes' as it is. I am a person, you are a person. Do you NEED more words to describe it? no messages intended to hurt people, of course. If you have a problem, pm me, and i will consider changing it)Labels were originally to sort out society properly, but then they sort of were adapted to the Highschool hallway, I guess."Labels aren't just for cans, or cliques.
Labels should not be for people. People ARE people (Yes, I just repeated myself. Please read that line carefully
As for us people that you have so kindly thought of a stereotypical, general name for (the 'labels-are-for-cans people'.. oh, the irony is rich
Someone has a great signature here? I don't remember their name, but if they would like to post here to say 'hi', that would be really great and things
Society has made up stereotypes and has implanted it in people's heads to make them seem 'real'. But as for me and many others who have posted here, WE have seen what 'real' actually is. You could see it too, if you listen calmly and closely and take things in as a first party; forget your past ideas of 'normal', for they probably do not exist.
I have one message: It's time to leave high school.
(and yes, that was a rant. and i am proud of it.
Actually, it didn't. It mean to you went to a College Prepatory School. People who went to those schools were usually very well off (like a 'prep' usually is today) and because of the school's dress codes, wore clothing like you see a prep wearing.
)Hmm.
Thats weird. But, there's probably more than one definition, just as usual with urban slang. My mom kept telling me that and I was like well mom, the word evolved. Now it's *insert todays meaning here*.Actually, it didn't. It mean to you went to a College Prepatory School. People who went to those schools were usually very well off (like a 'prep' usually is today) and because of the school's dress codes, wore clothing like you see a prep wearing.
I agree with TW/P. My school has no problem with labels. There is only one kid who would be able to fit into one of these cliques you guys are talking about and he's an 'emo', and moved here a few months ago (explaining why he's the only one at my school). He isn't even that 'emo' anymore and doesn't hang out with other 'emos' (Well, okay, that might just be because there aren't any others.
Anyways, you couldn't really label me. I wouldn't fit into any label. I'm just a normal person.
Real life example? Well... Usually labeling at my school involves one circle of friends not wanting to hang out with or talk to someone else because they don't have common interests, they don't dress like they do, or something different about them.
