hi, I am the only hippie in my area of the Midlands, England can you help me because everybody here is non-hippie and criticises me and the things that I do, Ash
Do your best in school. I hope you have good parents/guardians, but realize no parent/guardian is perfect. We're all just people struggling through life. But they are your parents/guardians and with you being 12, it's their job and duty to raise you as best as they can. It's your job and duty to obey and learn from them. When you are older you can then make judgements as to which parts of their instructions and values you want to incorperaate into your life. But for now you need to follow theirwishes and instructions. If they don't want you to act or dress hippie, then don't. There's plenty of time later.
Become Gothic! Forget flowerpower colors and chose the black! Life looks more real trough our mysantropic eyes... (and we have far mor better clothing... *Muahahahahaha!* )
Why the fuck would you want to spend your life as a dirty, grass smoking, druken bastard of a scrounging hippy whore? You rat bastards make me sick. I work hard, pay my taxes and you greasy fucks just wast your social welfare on grass and acid. You're only 12 you ****. Stay at school, get a job and stay the fuck off the grass, acid and any other drug you hippy whores feel compelled to try.
That's beautiful! But seriously though, you'll have a much better time in life as a "hippie" if you have the self discipline to get through school and make something of yourself, it's all about balance.
I was in exactly the same position as you when I was 12. I got bullied, I got over it and people accept me now. Don't worry and never give up being who you are!!!
correct answer to this wall of text would be ; "because she doesnt fucking want to be an asshat like you are". before working hard and paying taxes, you should have learned civil manners and evolved into a homo sapiens sapiens, rather than staying an ape. we dont need no tax paying monkeys. we need people.
unity, you are totally right. these people are just miserable, always criticizing others and refusing to see their own rotten personality. Ash, don't worry, it's gonna be alright i was in a situation like you when i was 12, maybe even worse because i live in central europe, in a small town.. i got bullied in school, (even now sometimes they call me a fuckin' hippie) now i have freak friends and i saw it's just not worth hating people for what they did to me, because now i don't care, they are just too miserable to understand. you gotta find people who like you the way you are and don't worry, it's gonna work out "Life, I love you, all is groovy."
Thanx guys you are a great help to me i shall ignore all the insults i get because really it is the people dishing out the insults with problems not me.
My daughter is 15 and wants to "be a Hippy" I tell her, "Just be the change you want to see in the world" That's where it starts. Read Dharma Bums by Jack Kerouac. Therein lies the answer.
