Labels in Home
Labels are a big issue going on now a days, in real life, and over the internet. In all my years of Home, I was surrounded by them. I am a teenager so it was always a dramatic topic that always had to come up. I've mostly been called "emo" and "scene" due to the music I listen to. I feel as if even though you may listen to the music that fits those labels, that doesn't always mean you consider yourself it. I once did consider myself "scene" before I even knew what a label was, and once I found out I didn't want to be it. Being at young age in Home has always been difficult. There was always certain groups who just didn't want teenagers with them. We call this a "clique" a clique is a self made group of a person who labels them selves, and they do everything together. You have the "Emo's", "Goth's", "Skaters", "Gangsters" etc. Everything you can think of is associated into a click, no matter where you find it. Cliques can be found on virtual worlds and in real life. It's just like High school movies from the 80's, no body wanted to be friends with the nerdy kid. Things have changed over the years, introducing new styles into the picture which formed new cliques, and new labels. Hate crimes come into play, when people like to say mean things about another group. For example, if you were gay and someone didn't like it and decided to have their group of friends say something to you it's considered a hate crime. It's not right to pick on some body, but in the 21'st century it really don't matter anymore it's going to happen anyways. As I was saying before, I have always been considered an immature child on Playstation Home. I never really liked being a group of teenagers because I just didn't feel as if it was the right place for me. After being shot down by so many groups, I decided to try and fit in with the teenagers. I started dressing their styles and playing what they would play. Drama was always around, and stress started to build up and I really couldn't handle it anymore. I remember when I turned 14, I swore a miracle happened. I was talking to people 5 years old than me, and I finally found people to be around that I enjoyed. I started glitching for a couple months, but I really never became good at it. I liked the feeling of being able to do goals and feeling achievement when I finally figured out the glitch. However, glitching became quite boring after awhile when everything was getting patched and all the good glitchers started to fall. Once that happened I never considered myself a glitcher anymore, and stopped it completely. I became more worried about the clothes I was wearing, and how my avatar looked. I really enjoyed shopping around and wearing all the new outfits that came out every Thursday. In reality, I don't have much clothes and I would probably never pursue into becoming a fashion designer or anything at all that has to do with the fashion world. I do love fashion though, and I love seeing how beautiful people look when they wear it. I decided to be more involved with events in Home, and meet new people. It took me awhile to be in fashion shows, and meet designers and all but I am there now. I have met so many new people, where there is no labels you just express yourself. I love the feeling of being able to express myself, and people accepting me.
