when was the last time you thought of doing something, but restrained yourself because it was not in accordance to your surroundings....is it o.k for girls to wear clothes which are termed as 'bold' by their neighbours...

I have never fit the mold and I don't care much what society thinks about it. As long as I am following the law, so I wouldn't be arrested, I pretty much live a free life and do what I want! Like, I have a pool with a VERY private fence around my yard, so I skinny-dip any time I want. I do not let the neighbors' kids know, and make sure they could never view me, as I am an adult, but there I am naked as a jay-bird in the pool behind my fence..know what I mean? I will not lie. If a person wants to ask an opinion..better be ready for my perception of the truth, or do not ask. I have no worries over whether or not you are satisfied with my thoughts. If you do not want ot know, do not ask. I am able to be kind 90 percent of the time and be honest. If not though, you will get my truth either way and I do not mind if you like that or not. I do not censor my self. When I was in New England, I fell in love with those ugly little gargoyle figurines and people up there thought it was odd? I don't care! They are "protectors," as the people up there believe that no one would harm a building/home that has something so ugly in it! I have a house full of them. One lady told me it was "evil." I told her to leave my home and take her fanatical religion with her..see ya later! Know why? MY house..my rules and decorations! I have no time for ignorance. I am eccentric and that's fine. Many people are. But I also believe that when you go outside..dress appropriately. Plenty of time for "nakie time" in your own home. And kids/minors should not be alllowed to dress like sleezy harlots. They should be covererd nicely. What's wrong thans and a t-shirt, at least? When I go outside..I tow the line to get groceries. When I am in my private home..I do my own thing. I never break the law, because I don't need the complications. Otherwise..there are alot of STUPID laws on the books and I probably would. In Florida..it's illegal to tie an elephant to a parking meter without paying the meter for the time the elephant is there. With my sense of weird humor..I would LOVE to find and elephant one day..tie it for a half hour to a parking meter and see if my elepahnt and I get a ticket! HA! Go ahead..do what you want and don't restrain yorself, as it'll only leave you feeling like you are not important enough to just be who ou truely are! Do not break the laws..but if you do not like one..certainly write a Leagl Bill, send it to your local legislature and try to have that law changed! Then you will not have to be worried! Just be you.-If others do not like it, you would not want to be around them anyway. Find your own group that takes you thw way you are and enjoy your life while you have one!

We live in a society, and the thing that keeps a society together are the rules. Well, this could be a very intimidating answer, but let me go further. The society nowadays is a very wide place, if I can say so...its boundaries are more and more stretched, the rules are more and more "permissive". I mean, diversity is understood better and better. So it is quite easy to get out of the crowd in very unusual ways, still without breaking the rules or the tradition. And once everybody is doing the same "unusual" thing, this will become a tradition and will take part of the culture. Examples are numerous. So, it's a bit too much to say that we break the shackels of society, we still won't be allowed to kill, to steal and so on (going to extremes) ~ ...in my opinion... feel free to express yours ~

Sure it's ok to be bold. Not everyone is alike, if so life would be boring. I myself dress very conservative, and definitely not like my friends would consider in style...but they still love me. :)

it is most definitely alright to 'break out of the shackles of society.' being able to stand out and be unique from other people makes a person who they are. as long as you know who you are and you know what fits you and your liking and your beliefs your just going to be fine. of course there is the 'peer pressure' or just plain pressure to go with the flow. if you do choose to be one with the crowd make sure it is what you really want, because if you want to be daring and different and you decided to abide by the norms of society, you would just be setting yourself up for disappointment and regret that you didnt stand out when you know you could do it. going with the flow would just be the same as the movie 'the incredibles' when syndrome [the enemy] said, that he would sell his weapons to everybody and 'when everybody would be a superher no one can.' did you get the point? i mean, if your a superhero and your selling what you have to other people, then everybody would be the same as you. no one would be unique, everybody would be super heroes and there will be nobody to save because everone can save themselves. everyone would be the same. but if you still do want to be different and people are uncomfortable, why not take things one at a time? wear something or do something you want to do little by little until they get used to it? i hope my post could help you in your want in breaking society and culture. so i leave you with a quote from the movie "what a girl wants"... "i dont understand why you want to fit in, when you are born to stand out"... peace and love to you
