How to stop being "scene" :( ?

Question

Hey you guys. I'm typing this because we all formally know that the "scene" society's growing today. 3 years ago, I was a normal prep girl. Now I'm condemned with this label, forced to live as a trendsetter by my new friends' standards.

I'm going to be straight with you guys. I HATE BEING SCENE. Not only that I think it's uberly retarded, but it's taking over my life. The hair, the shitty neon clothes and the freakin' cartoon t-shirts.

I HATE flat ironing my hair and ratting it out every morning. Dying it and worrying about it all falling out. The HEAVY make-up. The tacky cartoon jewelery. The played out bows. The skank-ish attitude.

Guys don't APPROACH me nor whistle at me anymore. I HATE over accessorizing. Big hair looks retarded in high-heels. I miss the tiny purses I use to carry, the frilly skirts, going out without sunscreen, wearing my hair flat and buying makeup I could afford. >.<

Brokencyde and Dot Dot Curve are sellouts. I'm also a hypocrite because I use to hate rap because all they talk about is "sex" when Blood on the Dancefloor parades about it all the time.

All of my best friends are preps and sometimes I feel like I don't belong. :( I miss the music I grew up with, walking out my house without the same *** hairstyle on, the attention from the opposite sex. And don't tell me about "scene" guys. They can be just as stuck up as well.

I hate labels, yet I'm forced to live by it by society. How do I change back to how I was 3 years ago without pissing people off? I can't just randomly put up a pic of me with normal hair on Facebook and start adding rap to my favorite music. I hate this fad. Sometimes I feel like a hundred people are watching me. Please help me quit this.

(And yes. I know labeling myself makes me a poser. I'm WILLING to take this risk if it helps me change back. T-T)

Sitting down at your computer and reading people's answers isn't going to help you. Get up and just do it! And ditch those new friends of yours while you're at.

You're not a big time world known celebrity. And even if you were, there's nothing that can legally stop you from buying expensive jewelery and make up, stop listening to certain kinds of music. If you want to stop "being scene", just stop doing the things you don't want to do anymore. It's that simple...? Is this a troll question?

Maybe just ease out of it? You never scene grandma scenes, I mean, everyone grows out of it eventually. Start not wearing sunscreen, and instead of cartoon shirts, start to wear black and white tanktops. Don't tease your hair as much, and slowly put on less eyeliner each day. Eventually people will forget about it, but it takes a bit of time. And when people ask, just say, "I guess I'm growing out of it." It will make you sound very mature and nobody will criticize you, or, at least a bit less instead of saying "I just don't want to be scene anymore." My motivation is to think of it as a game. If you give up on "Growing" out of it instead of just totally stopping, the people who quote on quote, "want" you to be scene, will win. It will usually take up to a month maybe? ;D Hope I helped!

The legal person age isn't 18 interior the full of the united kingdom, this is sixteen in Scotland. i don't think of youngsters are starting to be up quicker recently. Years in the past, that they had left college at 14 and have been out incomes a living. lots of them had to look after their brothers and sisters from an exceedingly youthful age, and have been predicted to do lots around the homestead. they had to enhance up very straight away.

you can start changing a little at a time.start off small.for example,stop wearing bows one day,then gradually stop flattening your hair stuff like that.But do it a bit at a time,so people wont notice.Its like cutting your hair short,and letting it grow---your hair grows gradually,by the time its long again,people wont notice,since it grew little by little.it might take some time,but eventually,you will become the preppy girl again.

An easy way out is if you are about to go to highschool.Just completley change during the summer,when you finnaly go to highschool,noone will recognize you,and you can start all over

If you don't want to make a sudden change then do it slowly. Slowly stop teasing your hair, put some non-scene clothes on here and there. People will slowly adapt with your changes and you won't have to feel strange or awkward

You need to just BE YOURSELF. what do YOU like, how do YOU like, what music do you YOU like. Stop trying fit in! Stop being a trendsetter, stop pretending that your hair happy with being labeled as something when you aren't. YOU are not scene, you are not preppy, YOU ARE YOU AND LET THE WORLD KNOW IT.

I use to be 'scene'.
but its not that hard to change!

Stop wearing the dumb clothes, wear natural makeup, go to a salon and get your hair fixed the best you can (it will take a while to grow out the haircut)

Haha I use to listen to brokencyde and botf too, now I find it so immature.

Guys were never attracted to me when I llooked like that, and now I get more attention now that I look 'normal'
