well I think its really something you just get used to, sort of a consequence of the look, now if your smart you learn to take advantage of it, means you can control people's perception of you.

um excuse me, but i have an average of 3.8 ... i dont call that lack of intelligence (and my friends are all between 3.7 and 4.0 students too). how can you tell someones intelligence just by the way they look? just because they dont want to be conformist and they dont want to look just like every other person out there doesnt mean they are stupid. maybe we like to look different and maybe we like the way we look, that has intelligence. the people who look all the same... now to me, that shows lack of intelligence.

if i were her i'd fight back. that's not fair. teachers these days...they won't listen to u. blah.

i don't really like people who judge others by their cover. i mean, why does it matter? it's not like it's important.
personally, i think people that do that are kinda immature, ya know? it's like they can't accept someone who's different.

yea it sucks... i know. people ask me about the cult "im supposidly in" because of the X's i have on my hands. some are afraid, some laugh... they dont understand. i just like to ignore them but sometimes is good to fight back.

if you're going to be a goth or a punk or whatever than you have to be ready to take that crap. i'm going through it right now too. when they see you in all black and spikes theyre expecting trouble and overreact. we goth rebels may hate it but it's all part of it. i hate the other punks who got this reputation for us. it's just to be unique and to express our personality for most people. when it changes i promise i'll give a whoop of joy.

I don't judge what they have on them unless it's a loaded gun.

if anyone gives you crap for what you wear, then kick their ***!

hmm, I went through all this garbage in school too...whatever. I so don't care about peoples opinions, mostly why I was who I was. The best part was running into some of those teachers after I graduated. Everything you do comes back to you....

teachers won't call on me in school and I get detention for doing just about nothing.And yeah I get trashed a lot.So I kinda know how your friend feels.It sucks.

That's sad. People still haven't gotten it through their head that you can't judge a book by its cover.
