I can honestly say I don't agree with your position. Many "different" people conform because they still wish to inhabit a social caste. This "Scene Kid" (I don't know what it is either) as you say is just that- since he fits into a category, he stays in that social caste. True individuality comes from shunning social castes alltogether, although sometimes you also can't look at how someone appears and assume they do it for the same reason as others, because clothes are a nescesity in our culture so if you're wearing clothes you'll look like someone. It's not nescesarily conformity but nescesity. Either way, I maintain it is indeed possible to stand out without conforming. Thanks singergurl12 for emailing me this.

haha i love this! in a wierd way it compliments my peice "what about the weeds"- this is one of those things that everyone can see if they take the time to look, yet never say it out loud. well, its high time someone did. great work!

Again, I really just can't critique your work! I'm not sure if it's because it's short, or there really just isn't anything wrong with it! I don't know what a scene kid is though...I dunno if it was a typo or what, but whatever, doesn't stop the piece from being what it is!
