I am a bit of a goth, punk, and honestly an emo. My parents want a prep, but that isn't who I am. I have friends, but I don't have many, and I seem to get left out a lot. That plus my parents not liking my style makes me emotionally fragile. Has someone else here been through something like this? I'm in a youth group, but only 4 2 of the people there, a few of the others tick me off just by coming close to me. Ex-boyfriend among them. What did you guys do? I'm tired of being alone, but I don't make friends easily, I'm, different.
Oh and I went through much of the same. My favorite pain was burning. I have numerous scars on my arms from cigarette and lighter burns. They are mostly all tattooed over now so you can't really see them, but I do understand where you are coming from. My emotional and psychological issues when I was younger are actually what motivated me to take my degree in psychology.
That's cool, I've always been interested in the workings of the human mind, why we do what we do and all. And my parents love me, they just don't like my style.
Look, I also tried to kill myself, and the only thing that stopped me was my family. You are yourself, but if you need a quick-pick-up, talk to your family, they love you.
I've never tried But I have thought about what it would be like to just sleep forever. I don't plan on doing it. I have a purpose on this earth, and my friends love me for who I am.
I got to go, Thanks again everyone for letting me vent, and helping with the emo-ness. And sorry for the repeat post! Lol. If anyone else on Armor Games feels like they don't belong I think you should read these four pages alright?
Just be yourself and don't care about idiots who dislike you 'cus of your style.
This is difficult for someone who is emotionally vulnerable and often unstable. Being 'hated' on is very detrimental in these situations and, sad thought it may be, you are stereotyped based on your appearance. If a simple change of clothes can lessen that suffering then it can only be for the good. Style doesn't make you who you are, but it definitely affects what people who don't know you think and say about you.
Don't change who you are for anyone but yourself. You don't sound like you are happy with yourself So there is reason to change.
Instead of trying to do physical harm try running or some other physical activity. Not only will it better for you, but the physical exertion can also help with the depression.
Do what I do. I don't give a sh!t what people think about me, my style, or what I do or don't do. Your parents aren't exactly the best if they're trying to mold you into something you're not. Good parents would let you be what you want, in my opinion.

There desire to change her might be coming from love and concern for their daughter. It must be quite clear that she is unhappy with how she is now. So they must think that if they could change her into something they perceive as happy and successful that it would be helpful to her. If this is the case, this of course is an incorrect course of action, as it seems to only cause more problems.
I am happy with who I am. I am me, but other people don't get that. I don't mind being hated by society, but there are certain people who do get to me. I'm sure they do think I'd be happier as a prep, but it would be a lie. I'm not like that. I'm darker. I understand more, and I'm not obsessed with superficial things, like OMG U messed up my hair!! Oh my dog! It's the end of the world! A lot of the girls at my school kinda are. I am cool with who I am, I just want to be accepted. I don't like that I do, but I need it.
I don't know if you think this way but by your posts I'm guessing you might so don't get offended at this advice. Try to see the good in people instead of dwelling on their flaws. I sound like a sappy optimist here but it's all in the way you think. The difference between being broken and being toughened is just a mind set.
