Hypergalaxy- It’s a shame to hear that the people around you are so close-minded
and unaccepting of people that have different interests to themselves. Unfortunately, it seems like wherever
anyone goes, there’s always someone who voice a negative opinion of what you like and what you’re interested
in. It’s difficult, but the best thing to do, as TSS said, is to just try your best to ignore their silly jibes.
Ultimately, they’re the ones that are losing out.
I got made fun of
a lot because I’m weird-looking. I’m fat, and I have red hair so they call me carrot top … I think it started
in third grade when I gained weight. I’m better now- I’m not made fun of but I’m ignored, which is all right
with me. There’s the occasional jerk who will say something mean, and I’m very sensitive so it hurts a
lot.
I sorta ask for it with my backpack covered in patches and stuff. But it was worse in intermediate
school- for some reason if you were different they’d go after you and tease you till the death. I believe that
was the beginning of my suicidal thoughts. It was really that bad. I always had little bits of paper in my hair,
spit balls, gum once- I had stopped wearing it down because of it. The ones who picked on me somehow managed to,
every so often, crack a joke about me and get the entire class to laugh.
But enough drama- I did have
friends and people avoided me when they were around, thankfully.
I think they’re more … 'stay to their
own kind’ sorts in my high school. Though I usually hear the labeling ‘dirty rocker’, which is absurd because
I do like rock, but I also listen to some hippie music and unknown alternative artists. Don’t label, ummkay?
xD
Thus, I have taken ‘weird’ as a compliment because it usually renders the dumb-dumbs speechless.
Can’t say this will work for everyone since I’ve been to an evil school and I know that some kids just don’t
give up. I just wanna rid the world of evil. =P Too bad that’s impossible with this world …
Kids picked on me in school
because I drew cartoons and then came to me for help with their art projects. That’s social hypocrisy.
~~=oP
Yeah , that’s happen to me alot too lately . Ever snce I brought my little
“portfolio” to school , they give me some weird look . Then , when we were making cards for our injured
science teacher in Math , my Math teacher suggested I do the drawing . Of corse my classmates all said ‘no’ ,
so I just made my own card with a mouse on it with a lab coat blowing up their lab , which of course , came out
better . 
Toady, in third period, we were in the library. We each
logged onto our own accounts on the computers, and lo and behold, someone in my class went into their files to
find that all of their coursework (hours and hours worh) had been deleted, and all that was left was a word
document. She opened it to find a short message- “Death to emos, mother…” I really don’t understand
some people.
You see, the problem is that being weird is completely
objective and is based on a persons understanding of what is weird and what is not. It’s sort of like
“being up with the times”. G.K. Chesterton said: "The funny thing about the phrase 'up with the
times’ is that it has been used hundreds of times before". So what I’m saying is, weirdness is not only
completely objective, but also changes over time.
This is a topic that is very subjective. How do you define weird and normal. What might be weird to someone or
some people would be considered normal to others. People have their own interests and habits so all relative.
Having said that I consider myself normal.
Exactly. I guess that is away to defeat it when someone calls you wierd.
Just say that you are what you are and you don’t want to follow the popular crowd if you don’t want to.
That’s so…weird…hypocrisy is so confusing
sometimes. 
Hypergalexy: But it is true. Some even are aware of it and try their best to exclude themselves from the social
hypocrites. It just doesn’t work.
Strangly enough what I found out is that
people think your cooler if your Kinda
weird. 
Exactly. Tell me, how are people going to remember you?
By certain, different attributes/characteristics about you. How can you have any of those if you are not
normal.
Weird is
relative
