hey hun! i say go for it. be yourself. i had the same problem. i fought with my mom for years about how i dressed. she didnt want me to look this or that no skulls, no black nailpolish, no thick eyeliner, cant u wear some color?

its taken long, alot of tears and fights. but it was worth it. she got over it. she accepted it, finally. shes ok with who i am now.

all will end well. just be yourself

if you want it go for it. my dad bitches all the time, but he already knows, thats not gonna do anything.
start off small, gradually go into.
sry bout the random cmmt.

i feel the exact same way. i've been known as the preppy girl for so long but i don't want to be that anymore. i want to be who i want to be but i'm afraid of what people would say. i say you and me should both go for it =]

stay strong love<33

hey, not feeling too well babe, heading for a nervous breakdown.  Im practically in tears, and you simply asking me "how are you" hurts to answer. -hugs-

stay strong love, <3

I'm doing well hun.
my self discipline is becoming much better! i'm trying to see if today will go as well as yesterday. haha

forget what everybody else wants. you need to be you or you will be unhappy.
become what you want, do what you want.
thnx hun.
stay strong <33.

awe thank you sweetie<3

good luck on whatever yr troubles are<3

Incredibly. I just told my mother I want my septum pierced.  The look she gave me was heart wrenching.  They don't get angry, they just get disappointed.
It's terrible.  I would give anything to just convince them that I'm not becoming something terrible, just something different.

Ahh babe forget what they want, what your mom wants, and be yourself! Don't bother about what she says love <3 Just be yourself hunn.

Stay strong, you'll do awesomely I'm sure <3

I just sit her down once a week and explain to her why I'm doing the things I do.  She's beginning to come around.  She was really repulsed by everything at first, but my mom can be understanding after a while.
She said she's not going to stop me, she just doesn't approve.  It's just upsetting.  I mean, when you're parents don't "approve" of you?
what the hell..

Good luck, hun.  The best advice I can give is to just explain why you feel the way you do to her.  I mean, at first it will be awkward, but at least you tried to get her to understand.

haha you are adorable.............you just have to kno that you are like I said before confidence is the key.....been a while girl sorry I havent dropped by to tell you about how awsome you are, we all think you are great, you cant worry so much about what other people think dude, cause if you do then you can never truly be yourself cause the world is filled with people that are not like you, In fact there is not one person in this whole world that is going to be exactly like you...but that is fantastic...it is what makes you who you are....too be unhappy with that is to be unhappy with the coolest thing about you. You are truly unique and dont ever try and hide that because somone wants you to be like them, cause it feels ten time better to have someone want you for you than to change for someone else simply because they say so......keep you chin up girl...life is too short to be upset all the time.......

Keep Dancing!!

Aww I'm so glad I can help babe <3

awh, hun.
I'm so sorry.  I don't know your momma, but I have to say that they can be crazy.  Sometimes they really just don't understand...it's terrible.

Try a compromise.  Or bring a separate outfit to school...I use to do that all of the time because my momma wouldn't let me wear my sex pistols shirts or my black skinny jeans.  She thought it looked, "gothic" cause she doesn't know the difference. 

Middle aged people are so detached.
Don't worry, doll. Just smile big and work it the best you can.. that's what this is all about.  you may not feel beautiful now, but just keep trying and soon you will even be able to make that outfit look damn hot!

good luck and all my love. <3
