I was "punk" in High School.Don't think the "Goth" word was invented yet or they might of called me that too; ).Some of the upperclassmen would call me "freak" & "creature".I never let it get me down though because I know that some people are just mean & they like to put others down to make themselves feel better or because they are mad that they have to follow trends & pretend to be things they are not.Just be yourself & try not to let other's opinions get you down.Things will get better.The world would be a boring place if we all liked the same things/styles,etc... After High School,I got too lazy to do my hair & crazy makeup & it was quite funny to see "jocks" trying to pick me up & get my # when I remembered them but they didn't remember me!lol.After like the 1st half year of HS,they didn't pick on me as much because they knew it didn't bother me too bad.AND I always stuck up for the other people who I saw were getting picked on so I gained respect by being the one who didn't care what others thought of her & for being nice.Luckily you kids have so much cooler clothing that is easier to find now too!I used to have to search everywhere for cool clothes!Keep your head up and know that even if some people don't tell you to your face that they think you're cool,there are those that admire your bold choices; )Good luck
