Never let anyone tell you differently, that that's not "cool" or that what ever you do is not normal. If someone calls you fat, dumb, slut, emo, goth, etc. ignore it. If anyone tries to put you down or make you feel bad don't listen to them. You are you, so be you. Never try to be someone your not. If someone tells you to go kill yourself or some shit like that ignore it. It's not their job, or your friends job, or your peers job to tell you what to do. Always do what you want to do, stand up for yourself, say "no" if needed, just don't let anyone else control YOU. Don't let someone crush your dreams or ruin your future. And remember to ALWAYS be you, no matter what. You can be
•silly
•crazy
•wild
•fun
•courageous
•creative
Etc.
Just be you and if you continue to do so then you are able to do what ever you believe you can do.
