...This Isn't Just The Story Of A Girl...

Oh yeah, jocks totally eat that shit up..."Jocks like him always want freaky girls. Girls with horn-rimmed glasses and vegan footwear and Goth makeup. Girls who play the cello and wear Converse All-Stars and want to be children’s librarians when they grow up. Oh yeah, jocks totally eat that shit up. They just won’t admit it because they’re supposed to be into perfect cheerleaders..."
-Juno
Now I'm starting to wonder if that quote is actually true, are we driven to hide are true feelings for someone because we're afraid they won't be perceived as socially acceptable? Or is it because of the image we believe we have to uphold? Would it really be weird to see a "prep" with his arms around a "goth" or a "punk" instead of a cheerleader? HOW PAINFULLY HIGH SCHOOL! Label's are for soup cans...what a cliché.
Why are people so discouraged about how others appear to be? Yesterday after orientation, I was walking to C building and these two blonde's who dress almost exactly alike (human cloning at its finest)we're talking about how trashy I looked. Now I could've turned around and said something, but I didn't. I like my striped shirt and back lace leggings. The reason people blend in is so they don't stand out, so people are less likely to judge them. People can judge me all they want! At least they'll know I exist and they'll remember the colour of my hair and the style of my clothes! If you're only going to look at me and judge me on the way I'm dressed you can carry on with your shallow life, marry someone with half a brain and no personality, and enjoy their company...at least they look nice right?
