Okay...heres the thing....i'm in 8th grade and the year is comming to an end, and i dont know waht to do about next year...but it's kinda hard to explain

see...the year before (in 7th grade) i was totally into the whole pop punk scene and i loved to look like all the "kool punk rockers" i chopped my beautiful shoulder length brown hair off into my spikes and traded my belly shirts and hip huggers for baggy jeans and "bondage pants"...concert/band tees because my obbsesion...and i loved my style...i never called myself a punk, but every else did and they call started called me a poser...and it eventually got to me...

so by the time 7th grade ended and 8th grade rolled around i kept the chains and black clothes in the closet and on the shevles! i became the person all the people wanted me to be and would accpet me for!! i was a cheerleader in 7th and 8th grade and i will be a cheerleader for my fresman year as well....but anyways....i put my old low risers back on and started acting like the "preppy popular cheerleader" wannabe that they thought was right for me to be....and i eventually got use to it and settled into it, not thinking of being ture to myself...
I still kept my old pop punk albums...but i also started "busting a move" to the hip hop stuff all the other gurls listened to...

another reason for all my change was that "punk" was now the "in thing" to be/do/ listen to...and i was sick of the preppy people stealing the image of what "punks" stood for. i saw it in all the preppy stores and more and more popular drama queens and quarterbacks made it look sooooo kool....it literally made me gag....so i figured i would stop being who i loved to be so that i wouldnt look like a follower or be blamed for being fake...

so...now as my 8th grade year is comming to an end and my freshman year will start sooner than i know it...i'm torn between my duel personalites....

i dont know if i should go back to my pop punk roots or if i should continue to hide behind my image of the all american cheerleader...i really really really deep inside want to go back to the old heather who i really knew and wasnt afraid of being "all punked out"....yet then again, i dont want to be called another steriotype or a trader (i would loose alot of my friends to this...who i'm sure are only using me anyways)

i know this sounds almost like i'm already decided what i want to do...but to tell you the truth i'm almost scared out of my mind....and i dont want to break the steriotypes more than i have to...

theres a lot more to this than what i'm posting above....and i want to get some of your oppinions on what to do with my future....

it would be nice to get some posative and neggitive feedback from this...

thanks so much for reading this all

First off-NO LABELS!!! And if you want to be punk-ish go ahead and be punk-ish. If your friends don't like that, then they were never friends to begin with.
