Stereotypes..I'm sick of it

Well, Auntie Meredith gave me the idea to do this. I feel like I should make a blog so that everyone could know what I am up to.

Lets start with my summer. Its been crazy and hectic. I spent most of it in North Carolina with my cousin, Marci and her family. It was really fun and I had a very memorable summer. Then I came home and went straight up to Winnapasauke with Auntie Melissa, Jackie, Kerry and Paigey Girl. It was alot of fun. Then I spent a week at Camp with Grama in Kingston, NH. That was a good time. My summer has been completely insane, but I had a frigin great time!!

So now, I am going back to school in a week. And I am starting to get mad with all these stereotypes. I really dont understand why we need them. Why cant we all just have our own style and that be the end of it?? Well, a couple of summers ago, i went through a faze when i LOVED rap and that was all that I listened to. Some would classify my as a "Wigger". Yea...watever that means. Then last year i went through a preppy faze. Where i LOVED Abercrombie & Fitch and I was very girly-girl. Constantly with the pink and sparkels and skirts and tight jeans. This year, i'm sick of it all. I'm done with trying to fit in with the "In" crowd. All the "In" crowd is, is a bunch of snobs that sit there and put other people down. Thats why so many girls my age are self-conscious, cuz the "In" crowd is constantly judging them. Its a waste of time. So...I've become wat I always wanted to b classified as... " A Skater" or watever you wanna call it. I've almost always like punk/rock...but just recently i've been really expressing it. My whole wardrobe is mostly from Hot Topic and Pac Sun. And i'm proud to be who i am. i dont care wat other people think about me anymore.

But I'm just getting really upset about how everyone stereotypes people. I'll admit it..i don't like "Preps" because most of them are rude snobs, but I'm not going to sit there and be like "Well, I'm not gonna be her friend since she dresses a certain way." Some people do that, but i just can't stoop that low. Yes, most people that I'm friends with aren't stereotyped as "Skaters" or "Punk Rock Lovers" as I am. I'm just sick of it all, and I'm gonna be who I am no matter wat this one or that one thinks about it. If i wanna wear jeans and a My Chemical Romance (one of my favorite bands) then...i will and i'm not gonna care wat you think about it. If sumone doesn't like it, then o well..thats their problem. I'm not gona dress a certain way or listen to a certain type of music just cuz everyone at my school is dressing that way or listening to that music.

Wow, I guess I have more to say than I thought I did!! Well, I hope that you enjoyed my first entry and keep checking back cuz i will post almost every day. k?

I love you all,
Steph
