    Has anybody else done this? When I was in 9th grade I was going into a brand new school full of snobs, and stuck ups. So I ditched all my jerseys got a brand new wardrobe and started acting and dressing like them. NOBODY liked me at all. I had like 2 friends lol. So one day I decided I was going to act like myself and stop acting like somebody im not, I started putting back on the jerseys and such and then alot of people started to like me for me.Then I was surprised to see I was runner up for the "Everybodys friend" award they give out every year. I dont mind coming in second at all.Anybody else ever do this?

    No. I've always been me. I would never try to change my image just to try to fit in. If people dont like me, fine. If they do, that's great. I'm not going to change myself to meet someone's demands. It's just rediculous. You are who you are, and you should never change who you are to fit in.

    In 5th grade I got in to rap.. That's all I ever acted like something I'm not. I believe that if everybody likes you, you don't stand for something. Because what I stand for, I'll have people who love me, and people who just hate me. But now I'm mentally stronger and I have a tougher mind and stronger beliefs so I don't pretend really any longer to be in to the rap sh*t. That was 3 years ago.

    I wore a mustache for a couple weeks one time.Skateboarding isn't a fad. It has definitely lessened in popularity, but it hasn't disappeared or anything. There are kids in this city that do it, even though this place is practically flat.

    I think that most new skateboarders are trying to do it to be cool and fit in. I really hate people like that..It's one of my pet peeves<_<

    I don't like it when people call someone who skates for fun a "skater". Being a skater is a lifestype, skating for fun is a hobby.

Do their parents let you drink milk without the sippy cup?

    That was a year and a half ago. I dont look like a ten year old actually. I look alot older now, and I got a hair cut about 1 month aftter that photo. Unfortunately, I dont have a camera. I grew from 5"3 to 5"7.5 in that period too.
