I was once a big offender myself. But i have come to realize that everyone commits the same act. Probably almost on complete instinct. But recently I've come to recognize and avoid it. I myself tend to look almost on the prep side of the clothing line, i even own Areopastle. But when people find out that I listen to heavy metal lathered in crushing guitars, technical drums, a growl of lyrics and constant mind pound bass, they give me and almost, "Is this kid for real look?" I laugh about pretty heavily. But then i thought, if you don't want to be thought a skank, don't wear the midriff and low cut. That easy. If you don't want to be thought of as a druggy, shower, clean your clothes. So really, if you don't want to be judged, don't set yourself up to be. Thats just what i think.

Broder, Even before I got to the end of this post I knew it was you. What a smart young man you are.
Love you buddy!!
Oh that wonderful "society we live in". We as individuals cannot look, wear or act who we are without being judged no matter the place or situation, It is a losing battle, to say hey just because I have my ear pierced or have tatoo's doesn't mean I am a bad guy.
same goes for women, oh look at what she is wearing what a skank.
I think be your own self and who cares what that stranger thinks. I know that in certain situations we must abide, but outside of those be yourself so you don't forget who you are.
I think what Zach is saying here is that he also has been judged for whatever reason. I don't think in this case he is doing the judging, but if so... we've all been there. And really - there is a difference between somebody showing their midriff and a skank. There really is such a thing.
Never said Zach was judging I said Society, and what I mean is don't let society judge you for you may lose yourself in the process.
