Don't worry about it sweetie! You never know (even though it's unlikely) people may really get into the swing of the 60's. After I made a huge celebration of peace day the other week, handing out flowers and chocolates, people started flashing me peace signs. Some people mean it offensively but most of them are just being nice and trying to make me smile. Now one of my friends has admitted she's a bit of a hippy (she's a real proper hippy like me really but she's just afraid people will be mean) Have fun with it hun! And if you feel it's border-line offensive just make it clear to everyone that this is the way you always act. And you wouldn't jepordise your beliefs for anything. Have a great time sister, Wish our school would do something like that! Peace and love wished your way hun! xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
once again thank you guys so much. but here's an update on the "story"... today on our morning annoucements there was a little "movie" about homecoming. on moday its middle school week so everyone was dress in their middle school jersey. then monday pirates and ninjas jumping everywhere... then wed. comes and they play "San Francisco" by Scott McKenzie and they show that announcements people sitting on the grass, half "asleep" with huge flowers and twiggs in their hair, all messy. then they get up dance around like monkies (literally) jump into a puddle of gross green water and pull out huge branch limbs and start using them as weapons against the pirates and ninjas. i was so grossed out a few tears popped out! now they were making fun of hippies. it really offended me, just when i was starting to go with it.
That does sound like they're being a bit offensive there. (Though I do enjoy having my hair messy! lol) This is probably wrong of me to say this but is there anyway you can fake ill on that day? That's probably what I'd do. Much peace, love and hugs wished your way my sister xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Think about it....at least you wont have to worry bout making a costume! ; ) Just roll with it sis.....there are plenty of other things out there to be upset about....
Sounds like a plan. Just be a shining hippie light. Some people may ridicule but you're bound to get through to someone. Have fun with the ones that dig it. That's what it's all about. Good luck. We love you and are here for you.
