Back to the subject of Goths, because I have a revelation last night:

Dressing/acting the way they do is a choice.  They don't wake up one morning wearing black clothes and facepaint and are stuck with it the rest of their lives.  And they don't do it because they think it will make them popular.  They do it to stand out and look weird, so they really oughtn't be surprised when they get picked on.  It seems to me that they WANT to get picked on!

Just because someone is different, doesn't mean they should get made fun of.

I enjoy standing out and having people notice me rather than being another peon, just my personal opinion.

But if somebody is different in such a way that they should know they will get made fun of, and they do it anyway, then that's their problem.  If people can't be bothered to use punctuation here, they get made fun of.  It's a choice and a consequence; perhaps some people accept it, but others don't.

So what you're saying is that we should do everything we can to be accepted by the general population?  In that case, everyone on this forum should start typing liek most ppl on teh intarnet do.  If your goal in life is to be part of the flock in order to avoid confrontation you need to question why you're even living.

Usually, you are more attentive and make more sense.  How did you get that from iago's statement?

You shouldn't do everything that everybody else does, BUT you also shouldn't do things to alienate yourself unless you WANT to be alienated.  It's lot like somebody dresses in black/wairs the makeup/etc. thinking that everybody will treat them the same.  

In the same sense, if I go kill somebody, or injure somebody, then brag about it, I KNOW people will treat me differently.  If I want to be treated differently like that, then I will go and do it.

I agree with iago. If Goth's know they're going to be picked on for dressing freakishly weird then why do they do it? What gets me is that they go and complain about being picked on, yet had they not done something that they know will make them a target to be picked on then it wouldn't of happened.

I assume AP Geometry is not a Collegeboard class nor is AP Biology 2? Unless maybe on that bio class you split the AP bio course into two semesters for some weird reason?
