prejudice people annoy me

m starting to believe that there is alot of prejudism against emo's,punks and metal heads. My daughter wears black, listens to dark music[she got this from me unfortunately], wears dark skirts way past her knees and either cons or docs, she is only 14 and I have let my children be there own people, i even let her get her lip pierced. She is to afraid to walk to the shop because of being called either a gothic slut or something as low by a car load of guys or a couple of plastics wearing smalling shorts than my undies. She gets told to cut herself and she's a loser at school continually by other students. She gets straight a's and has been awarded for her high achievements by the premier of our State. Some of the teachers even treat her badly because of her appearance and have accused her of cheating, when she is by far the smartest one in the class. Though it was funny when the school called me up to tall me what a wierdo she was and i turned up in my cons, cradle of filth Tshirt and ripped army pants with my lip pierced...appearance means shit, so why are all these people judging by it. I believe you get good and bad in every walk of life. I had to stick up for a kid/teen a few weeks back because some smart ass jocks thought they would bash him for his appearance.

That shit really pisses me off, man. I get flack sometimes for my long hair and generally rocker style, also.

Don't worry about it, though. Your daughter may be called a loser, but she's obviously a highly intelligent young lady who is going to go far in life. Those spawns of conformity who insult her are the real losers.

You should've seen the principal's expression when he came in giving out honour roll certificates and he ended up giving one to a dude with shoulder-length hair and a Pink Floyd shirt. I just smiled at him.

THE SCHOOL CALLED YOU TO TELL YOU WHAT A WEIRDO SHE IS? Now, THAT is fucked up. She's a stellar student, and they call you to tell you they don't like her appearance?!

The more things change the more that they stay the same.....30 years ago we were considered grubs and of course there were the jocks then too. Same b.s. in the highschool, etc.....

I always found it ironic that these "jocks" would be the first in line to buy a couple joints off me, the grub, every morning before school.:stoned:

Have a good one!:jointsmile:

She had one teacher trying to get facial piercings banned when she got hers...but she just shrugs off alot of the shit people say, but not all kids do...one of her friends gets really upset and distraught

That sucks for your daughter, and unfortunately that happens to a lot of kids who don't conform and wear the clothes all the popular kids wear. She seems pretty cool and if i knew her, I'd be her friend. Of course, would you mind a 16 year old doper hanging out with your daughter lol? I only smoke on weekends :)

mmm...pizza, do you know if your daughter smokes weed?

So what you're telling us is.. you hold a prejudice against prejudice people.

she's just learning what everyone has to learn eventually; if you do not conform to an acceptable norm, you will be considered an enemy by the masses. if you are a part of a protected minority (race, sexual orientation, religion etc.) you will be tolerated, but those who merely see the world from a slightly different point of view are considered trouble-makers and heretics. thus has it always been, mankind's ethical progress is nearly nonexistent.
