So back in freshman year there was this chick that hated me because I dressed somewhat similar to her. She was a self-proclaiming hippie, and she was judging me from the side lines. She and her yelled stupid shit at me when I dreaded my hair or wore a tie dyed skirt. She even sent me a message on my space (yes, my space) that read "Phish and Misfits don't match, get your shit right" simply because I had band shirts of both. (since when did I have to conform to one genre anyway?!) Two years later, now, this freshman apparently reminds my friends of me. I don't personally know her, but I do see her daily en route to various classes. After every time I wear a tie dye shirt, she does. I braid my hair, the next day she does. I don't understand this battle between those we are akin. Shouldn't we practice what we preach and come together and love one another? What are your thoughts/experiences on this subject?
that happens to me alot, just know who you are, love her for who she is even if she doesnt love in return. Thats all you can really do is practice what you preach and leave it up to her to practice what she preaches. Really just set an example for her, its up to her whether or not she wants to return the love. hope this helps
Too bad that even someone like you can't escape the high school bullshit that is stereotypes and gossip. Take the actions of this freshman as a compliment and hopefully she will eventually figure herself out.
What? Just because it happens in high school doesn't automatically make it high school bullshit. And I'm not being persistant about the labels either. It's not like we go around calling eachother that. And I never meantioned gossip. So, wtf?
Dude - just trying to lend some support. I found high school to be just that, despite the fact that I was the kind to avoid it at all costs. It sounded as though this girl of previous years was crafting herself into a nice little stereotype and, yes, it's annoying as hell. Perhaps my interpretation was completely off and, if so, I apologize.
Dont sweat what goes on in HS, unless you live inna one horse town, your most likely never to see them again after you grauduate, do what you do, be the best you can be anmd dont judge. You may offer your hand to this person and subdue the evil that lurks in the minds of men/women. You can send this one some loving energy and smile when you pass her way. It maybe thatshe is hurt bc you do not reconnise her as a sister and vise versa. Or, you could just know that your heart is true. Dont worry what others are doing, it's not your problem, it's theirs, dont 'own' it. Let it go and go on being you. Like I said, in a few yrs you wont have to even see these ppl again. Peace sh
I have found through a life of unimaginable heartache and lows that we should take all sorts of things for the good they have in them. I agree with you we should all just get along because the person who is hating you is missing out on the goodness that you have to offer the world. Those who are different or the same have so much for us to learn from them and we have so much to teach them. give everyone you meet the benefit of the doubt and just say hello to all of them. Be it in high school or out. lifes dynamics are all the same. smile, love and say hello to at least one stranger a day and who knows what you may learn to meditate on tonight. PEACE & LOVE
I don't get the problem. Isn't it a given people in highschool profile themself often by stereotypes/subculture fashion? Hippie rivalry sounds like an oxymoron to me by the way, although it shouldn't even matter if she was a hippie, emo or metalhead, it would be the same situation.
this is weird, would have loved to find someone dressing like me in high school and befriended the person right away, or at elats just check them out. the whole get your stuff right thingy is just a pathetic form of elitism that doesn't lead anywhere.
She just feels threatened. She was probably the only one like her in middle school, then got to high school and realized she wasn't as unique as she thought she was. It pissed her off, so she's taking it out on you. She sounds awfully fake to me... Very "look at me!" behavior. Sad, really.
Your aware. This is karma, third eye, sorcery, etc...It's circular. Karma is telling you something. Keep recognizing these type of happenings. Karmas a powerful force. Use it wisely.
