I hate stereotyping! And people are always calling me goth or emo, (im considered emo). But I hate it when I'm called gothic. They don't know whether I'm with God or not! I wish they'd all just stop judging! I don't know what else to do. I always just get a deep voice and say "be careful what you wish for", gothics seek revenge". LOL. j/k. But what could I say to get them to stop???

All this goth/chav/skater stuff nowadays is pretty crap. Don't worry about what they say, they just say it because these people are so insecure they need to 'group' other people and feel they are too good too sink into one of these groups. (because popular opinion puts accross that goths/chavs etc are all horrible people) Ignore, these people are to stupid to stop :) [ mrbrodie's advice column | Ask mrbrodie A Question ]

That will show them! You could also get to know some of the people who stereotype, if they get to know you they will see that the real you isnt emo!
hope this helps :) [ advicefashionista's advice column | Ask advicefashionista A Question ]
