Do you think ppl should have the courage to be different?

I think being different from the norm should be encouraged - I may not dress or look that different from others but I know I feel and act and believe differently than others. I am very happy with who I am and I don't think it takes courage to be different, I think it takes an ability to be true to yourself to be different.

I think it's great! It's good because those people are not afraid to be themselves and not afraid to show it. As long as they love how they look, it really should not matter what others think. I saw a girl te other day and she had tattoos all over her arms and legs, and she was petty cool. Everyone should be themselves and not let what others say in negativity bother them.

Yes, I believe people should have the courage to differ from the norm. I don't really think anything of people with lots of tattoos or body piercings. In fact my boyfriend has about 6 tattoos and he wants to get a full arm tattoo as well. It's his choice and I respect that. I wanted to dye my hair green last year for St. Patrick's day but missed the opportunity and again missed it this year. I shall try for next year and I do wear alot of black but not gothic style hehe. Though I admit, they look hot sometimes.
Well, honestly, I don;t have any opinion about them. I just think people should be who they want to be and not dress or act in a particular way to "be cool." But I don't support anything bad, like drugs for example.
I personally like being different from the crowd and really don't give a damn what anyone else says or thinks about me.

i think people should be what they want to be. nobody sets what is normal and whats different. if thats what you want then just be it. i am in a band and there are a lot of people in this industry who likes to dress up to be head turners. i dress up simple and to what is comfortable. i dont wear leather pants then my balls will sweat like peas har har har. but i dont care if some dress up like that to each his own.

I think its best to always be true to yourself. As long as you're not hurting anybody else than why conform? Life would be pretty boring if we were all the same!

I think my user name might give the game away here hun. I was a goth when it all began and still am. I still wear my goth clothes and make up and hair styles and feel proud to be different.
