I think her hair looks great. If the look works for her, let her wear it. But, and I'm not trying to be mean, if it were a darker skinned person wearing that hair style, I seriously dount that they would say anything. We had a similiar incident in our school, where a few light skinned boys got put into On Campus Suspension for wearing their hair in dreds and braids. I don't think it's an issue of people learning, I think it's an issue of school officials being rediculous. What color your skin is should not determine the hairstyles you should be able to wear. My skin is ghostly white, and I have gotten into trouble for braiding it to the scalp before. I think that school officials, even where there is a dress policy, need to back off a little bit and give people some breathing room to let their individuality out. We don't all fit in a mold, and our hair isn't all the same style.

Are you seriously kidding me??! hair is hair...what the crap does that have to do with receiving an education?? people these days...

There isn't any normal, there is only you. My older brother has long hair, there is no normal. Be yourself, and anybody who bugs you about it you don't need to know. I always hang with the outcasts, and the misfits just because they are a million times more interesting then the sheep, or "Normal" people. I mean these people that call themselves normal freak about their weight, hair, faces and more all the time. Can you call that normal?

Just totally be yourself, because if you aren't yourself, you aren't anybody.

i personally couldnt give a f*** about the way ppl dress. its who they are that really matters

if someone came up to me wearing clothes n stuff like tht i wouldnt think any differently of them. i have lots of friends who dyed their hair or bleached it, so i'm kinda use to seeing ppl like dat, i do live in nyc... individuals all ova the place! its a great place, dont let otha ppl tell u otha wise. my friends have green hair, orange hair, kinda blondish brightish hair, blue hair, n even red white n blue. it juss makes everything more colorfull to me, i wanna put temp. red streeks in my hair... lata pplz!

There is no such thing as normal. What people say don't matter, they are sheep.

If said person came up to me to talk I'd sit down and talk, and if the said person actually had intelligent views on things, I'd continue the discussion, and if said person was a government puppet, I would leave.

I personally think that no one has the right to call anyone else "different". I mean what really is different?? Is it not the opposite of "the same"?? Well, is everyone the same?? Nope! So basically we are ALL different! Anyone who judges you based on your appearance isn't worth your time, and the same thing goes for people who won't talk to you cuz you're "different". As long as you're being true to yourself, who cares about what others think?!?!

To answer your question about if you came up to me and talked to me i would say " sticks and stons may brake my bones but wips an chains excite me. hahahalol

The great quote "you all laugh cuz I'm different, I laugh cuz your all the same." Its great to be different every one is.

Great quote!!!!! I agree with you!!!

How are you all "different", when the majority of you posting call yourselves freaks? Instead of being so intent on being "different", why not just be true to your inner self and go with whatever style you like. Now, I know that a lot of you are going to say that that's what you do and are a called a freak for it... but I'm just talking about people like some in my school, where there's a whole crowd of them who all think they're so unique and different, but they all dress exactly alike.

I am totally against people who put others down just because they may have a different style! If someone came up to me like you said, wearing different clothes than me, I would talk to them, not because I don't want people to think that I'm mean (if I didn't talk to them), but because their opinion matters too!

Everybody, everyone, every spirit is different.

Without it, instead of the bright world of color we have today, we would have masses of gray and black and white.

And nobody wants that.

So cheer the people who dare to be different in a world of people who ironically strive for sameness.

I would be thinking this girl seems nice. I recently was at a store where a girl with big pants,and a dog collar on was rudely staring at my friend and me. So the fact she had the guts to go up to me and not judge me, makes me think I shouldn't judge her. And I think we should all talk to each other about what happen to heal the wounds, no matter what the person looks like.

I would listen to what she had to say. Looks do not mean anything. She may have some vey intersting insights and views like my own. You really cn't judge a person on how they look. It is unfair to the other person and yourself.

id talk to that person bc in the end 'normal' people are just people you've never gotten to know. and you say you dont want to be nething that matters, like an athelete or good student. well i say, it is far better to be nobody who accomplishes something than somebody who accomplishes nothing...
peace, laura

Being different isn't about how you look, it's about how you think. I dress in manner that many people consider different, but I've also seen other people dress that way too. I'm definately the only person who dresses that way in my school's academic clubs, but I don't think that dressing differently has much to do with being a true individual. Judging people by how they dress is very common, but it's also very close-minded. What's "different" should be determined more by people's actions and thoughts than their appearance

at this point in time we are all goin thru the same thing so y bother bein nasty to ppl? y cant kids come together like the adults r doin? we can show bin laden that he cant hurt the U.S.s' ppl!
