I once wrote a paper called "Moosism" which is what I called the "ism" against very large people, and how we are supposed to be dumb jocks at best.

thats great could you write some of it down?
id love to here it.

I will have to see if I can dig it up sometime. I'm sure I still have it in my old files.

oh yes. I hear "these kids are fucked up", or "why is your hair like that?"
"Or are you homeless?" One time I had a lady say "i didn't know the circus was in town..."

Ugghhh I fuckin hate "Halloween was yesterday" but the absolute frickin worst is "You're KISS" XD. This mom was holding up her son and said "ooh look at the monster" that was cool then she goes "...OH Kiss"

I love how people associate mohawks with homelessness. Like you are like hmm, sure I decided to forgo food and shelter for hairspray and a blowdryer.

I feel pretty much the same as Alternative Problem.
My stepmother is constantly asking me when I plan to grow my hawk out and I'm utterly sick of seeing people's eyes light up when they noticed I haven't shaved down my sides in a couple of weeks. Ugh.

"whoa hey, lady those Xs mean you're straightedge, or something, right? aren't you too small for that? so are you, like, gonna beat me up now or something cuz i'm like sooo wasted?" .... fuck off shitstamp.

When I was a freshman, I was different from everyone else, nobody really liked me, so I didnt talk to them, my algebra teacher would ask me everyday, if I was depressed, or if I needed to sit in the hall. "no, I need to sit in a room with people that are somewhat intellectually stimulating."

People suck most of the time, but im getting out of school in a few months. so. YAY!

I hate when people think you are stupid. Absolutely hate it. Or when people with really really short mohawks come up to you and say OH MY GOD I HAVE ONE TOO!!! No, your hair stylist forgot to shave the middle portion of your head, here lemme help you with that.

one of those short mohawk dudes came up to yesterday. douche. AND REALLY? ACCUSED YOU OF SMOKING CRACK?

i woulda been soooo pissed if someone did that to me

I haven't had a 'hawk since march, and before I cut it off, cops would pull me over for having fuzzy dice hanging from the rear view mirror of my '94 dodge caravan (woot). They can't do anything except tell me to take them down. Then I put them back up after they drive away. Since I chopped it off, I haven't gotten hassled for it, though. Coincidence? What do you think? This kind of thing happened often, and I had rocked the hawk for so long, I didn't even realize that was why.

what can i say, i think we have all had the same experiances eaither with cops who are scared of something different to people who are sooo narrow minded they even think they are better then us, just because of my hairstyle. i find it amazing what people think about me from just one look at me, usally eaither troble maker or terrorist ( even though every terrorist act made on foreign soil has all been done by bold faced arabs, not hairy west-indian guys nothing aginst arabs, just the facts) so i know all about judgement and being judged on first impressions, but i really couldnt care any more as once i open my mouth and make these narrow minded idiots feel like the smallest people in the word due to actually being very well educated and very far from homeless and usally by there own standards alot better then them, its tooo funny,

i hold my head up high with my mohawk blasting my metal rock through my ipod, why because that is who i am and i will never change that no matter what!!!!

I'm sick to the point where I don't talk shit back. I go along with it.
"Are you emo?"
"Sure my life has so many problems that I slit my wrists when I go home, how about you?"

..fuck them, you now need to get to the point were you dont even look/take notice @ those that make silly remarks like that. And if they think you are strange, again fuck them.

yeah i just flip em off or ignore them but its fun to go along with their jokes when they call you gay or say something about your mother as a joke

we were at a family reunion and for some reason the young kids were in LOVE with our hair and gauges... it was about that time when their parents started getting edgy :P

no man dont give them the pleasure of showing them your anger, just make sure you dont take notice of them.

One of my teachers last year thought i was gay for having a mohawk so one day i go to school dressed real nice and i wait till i get in his classroom and right when he starts class i jump up rip off my clothes and run around wearing a speedo. Ofcourse i got suspended and chargs but i didnt care it was funny my friend video taped it but the school made him erase it.

down here ya gotta have a label, just like a cattle in a stable...

ugh i hate it i get called an emo by preps all the time. i usually just play it off it just shows you let them get to you. but i usually say im not but i dont care what people label me ive been called alot (emo,goth,punk,scene).its there ignorance stereotyping.

FUCK I HATE PREPS!!!!!!!!!!!! i go to a school where all there is is preppy girls and guys!!! i always get pushed agaisnt the damn locker and pushed around or talked about. i have blue green and orange hair. its also a mohawk. my clothes are ripped and torn and they have writting and studs in everywhere. but they dont think im a normal person with feelings!!!!! FUCK YOU FUCKING PREPS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! BURN IN HELL!!!

i agree with the previous statement

ahh lol i had y liberty spikes up and this one preppy chick in my algebra two class threw a gum wrapper in it! i just took it out and just threw it back at her and said "hey bitch you dropped this trash" she just said whatever porcupine. ahh i just played it off until her fuckign preppy bf threrw another wrapper in my hair i just looked at themand threw my glass bottel at him he fucking said he was going to sue me for assult ahh fun times

lol preps are so funny there's loads in my college and 3 of em though they were big enough to piss me around only problem iv done cage fighting and rugby for the past like 7 years for cage fighting and like 9 years of rugby result 3 broken noses and 2 concussions no more prep bullshit for me

what really bugs me is this group is supposed to be for people not wanting to be judged. maybe if everyone didnt post things like "those mutherfucking preps are assholes" maybe people would be nicer to you? if you say these things you are judgeing them, you are saying all preps are bad, they aren't get to know one, you are becoming one of these the people you hate but saying these hatred things. yes they are people also, they may not understand why we cut our hair like this, or why we like psycobillie crazy music, or why we wear ripped up studded patched pants, but truly do we understand why they straighten their hair? wear american eagle everyday? why they blend into the crowd? no because we are not them, dont hate on people. you just get screwed in the end. karmas a bitch.

FUCK YES!! thank you caitlin, i agree wholly with your comment. iv got friends in most of the different social labels. and that's because we were all open minded enough to get to know each other rather than just throw the typical stereotyped comments.

i use2 hav a fringe.. not covering my face, but a fringe none the less. id get called emo n stuff. tho its not like i wear makeup or skinny jeans or anything lol. sooo i cut my hair n mohawked it.. then i hav this crazy ass ex gf of mine sayin im a "poser" behind my back. ive never clamed 2 b a punk or anything so what am i posing as? if u ask me what music i listen 2 il tell u straight up! i just like having crazy hair and piercings!

anywhoo being stereotyped can be annoying but it can also b fun coz only worthwhile ppl will actually get 2 know u n all the worthless ppl wont bother :)

Ha I have a crazy ex girlfirend to who sounds just like that actualy I cut my hawk 2 weeks b4 we broke up.... well in about a month im shaving my sides and deading fukin shit head turd dreads fuck yea!

I went to a school outside of my district in 7th, 8th, and 9th.
Let me explain my district [Hayward] to the other district [Castro Valley]
Hayward is a really big city though it doesn't seem like it, and the majority is black and hispanic. "Hella ghetto". I was born and raised in Hayward.
Castro Valley isn't even a town/city. They use the Alameda County PD it's so small. Also founded by the KKK. Suburbia up the ass, almost like a mini country [a bunch of kids dressed up as cowboys, chewed tobacco and bragged about horses] majority is white and asian. "Hella preppy". In middle school, I wore NO colour [now I don't care about what I wear]. All black, trench coat, boots, dark as fuck make up, dark/dyed hair. If you saw me back then, you might've thought "emo", right? [I regret that little stage of mine, but hey, we all go threw it]
Well one day I was apparently sitting somewhere I couldn't sit during lunch [I think where they couldn't watch me] and the Principal, one of the Security Guards and my councillor walk up, take my long ass chain [never got it back, still to this day] and told me I was doing drugs. I always smelled like cigarettes, but they shouldn't be able to assume I was doing drugs. The principal got real close to my face and threatened, or "warned", me about them bringing drug dogs to the school and making me take a test the next day [which they didn't. Fucking dick]. I had to deal with that school district completely against me, always assuming things about me, for 3 years. Absolutely terrible. And it didn't really help that I got my 'hawk freshman year [still in CV] While I was attending school in that district, friends of my twins were afraid of me but I actually had a large number or "preppy" friends and I didn't care. They were nice [back then at least] and that's all that matters!

Another thing that irritates me is that when people [even friends from Kindergarten that I still know] see me reading, or really getting into something that requires the least bit of intelligence, they say "OMG you read?!" or if I did well on a quiz/test they'd get shocked. I'm actually more intelligent and intellectual than most of the people that get shocked.

Sorry for the long post D:

the hat I was wearing wasn't mine.

I also get called a skinhead at Hayward High [majority is black/hispanic/pacific islander/other and minority is white/asian]
Which, I honestly don't think they'd be saying that shit if they really believed it.

Everything has its contradiction. When people say they hate to be judged they know full well that they judge. All I can honestly say is to keep your thoughts you don't want people knowing to yourself. Two can keep a secret if one is dead folks. There will always be someone who doesn't agree with you, your aesthetic, and overall beliefs.

Everybody judges everybody. Hell, i do it all the time too. Only thing different is i don't voice my judgments. If i get to know that person, then i can see if my initial judgments are right or wrong, and just because someone's an emo fag, doesn't mean there a bad person. So what im trying to say is, judge all you want, just keep it to yourself, cause if you actually tried to get to know the person, you might be shocked to find out you were wrong, or the judgment only went skin deep.

I understand that we all judge others by appearance, I hope that most can see through that or try to keep an open mind about what a person is really like. i kind of like to think that looking the way i do helps me filter the people i'd like to know from the idiots that dont understand common courtesy. I dont mean that I pick all my friends by appearance, just that you can tell what kind of personality someone has by their reactions to your looks.

sterio types are a dule sided thing... a black guy with a long white tee and a gun and a bandana is gonna make me think gang member and its fine if he is... but dont assume based on that that hes a woman beating, drug dealing, thug with 5 kids and 3 babys mamas and he dont see any of them.. dont judge me based on what you see... judge me on proven fact

its not weather you voice them its if you hold them to be true!

haha i just noticed, everyone who doesn't want to be classified is in a specific group hahaha
nothing serious here just saying, nothin like irony for a good laugh

I decided to join this group becuase while joing Mohawks Rock, I shaved my head. Kinda of ironic I think.

todays world is now, punk is here today. if you don't like our way then fucking go away. everywhere we go they screw you up and down, they say "what a fucking state", they stand there and frown, they've got their money and they've got their lives, fuck off and let me lead mine!

I'm not fussed about labels/name calling. That stuff doesn't really mean shit. It's when people start getting personal and behaving like they actually know all the different aspects of your life and begin judging you on these preconcieved qualities.
But yeah, I just learned to get over it (Y)

Yeah! Quit the labeling! Quit harmongering!
Pretending to care, is worse than caring.

im in a wheelchair right to ppl always asume oh shes a retard defo dribbler but i
can be just as much of a cunt as any1 here ppl expect me to smile be polite and nice fuck right off imma do wtf i want how i want, 2 who i want, with what i want, when i fucking want and i expect all u fuckers to do the same :)
xxx

i love the way i got labelled posh for playing rugby i live in east londons poorest borough and play for a high school team mmmm

I've been as stereotyped as they come. now that I rock a mohawk and speak with eloquence, I'm looked at as a different breed of person. To that, I say with the most genteel grace, FUCK YOU!

i got called a nazi one morning waiting for my school bus they even fucking throw water at me D: my poor jacket
