How can I stop people from calling me "Gothic or Emo"?

This happened to me and I just called up my friend and loudly discussed awesome plans for the weekend haha. I did this like twice a week. After a few weeks they kids were talking to me as equals and I even got invited to one of their birthday parties.

just punch them and say go fuck yourself dude !!

And be yourself… dont change for others! And whats wrong with emo or gothic?

first off what do we learn on after school specials about changing your self to to fit in also I just realized that dated me way to much. so dont change your self for them if you do, do it for your self, other things work as well make the talking about plans was a good idea, I find that bringing up topics that make them uncomfortable tend to make them shut up if you getting made fun of for being emo I suggest suicide jokes or jokes about emo kids look up a few once you make it clear that the jokes are just jokes they can see that you dont give a shit and they will move on.

do you realize that the only people that dont use stereotypes are the people that are labeled as emo or gothic?? but anyways its a fashion statment…not one id choose but still. but if you cut yourself then your just really confused and are deff emo or gothic.

You might have another physical characteristics that might be considered emo/goth to them that you did not even mention. What about shirts and jackets? Are they goth-themed/emo-themed? Do you always shirts that are black? I really don’t know what you look like, but you might need to wear clothes that are brighter colors (like yellow). I hope my answer at least helps :)

Just ignore it. I have the same problem. Bangs in my face, eyelinber, converse, skinny jeans, lip pierced. I got called ‘emo’ and even got called into the nurse and guidance room because someone told them I was cutting myself. And I wasnt. So, ignore it. or get an adult involved.

just tell them to pleaze stop if they dont just tell the teacher or your parents that is harassment they can get in trouble. I hope I helped. ^_^

Well, a lot of kids are just mean. That’s purely how it is. If you don’t want to just cope with it then change your appearance.

people called me emo for the longest time for no eason, but try to help reduce the factor by wearing bright colors. it helped me
