Re: Stereotyped by style of clothing

First, let me say "Kudos," to Saz for the awesome topic! **Nice siggy, by the way!** Anywho...

I've noticed an abundance of fashion haters these days. I fail to understand why people choose to treat others how they see fit based on the clothes they wear alone. What? We're past judjing people by their color and moving on to fashion prejudice? It's a pretty low level to stoop to, if ya ask me. I often dress Goth or Emo, but that doesn't make me any of those types of people. I've never cried over a girl I've only known for three months, I've never contemplated suicide, I've never gotten over emotional for irrational reasons and the world is only a dark place during the winter season.

Yet, people decide they want to shun me or make me an outcast due to the fact that I'm not sportin' new Jordans or wearin' a tall T-shirt that looks like a night gown.

People should really take the time to get to know others instead of just making assumptions about them! My step-dad always said to me you should never assume things, because it makes an ASS out of U and ME. And it's very true! I, for one, am growing tired of being treated like scum just because I don't look like you. Being unique is what makes life so great! If we wanna dress how we want, leave it at that! Get past the clothing and get in the person's head before you go spouting off things that probably are untrue.
