Of course it isn't a crime to be different but if you take the responsibility to step outside the norm then you must accept responsibility for the reaction of others. Most 'different' people and groups actually secretly revel in and enjoy the difference and are just as judgemental as the people they are complaining about. I know so many goths who whinge about people judging them on appearance, yet automatically label others as chavs, townies etc. Pot calling kettle black? It's good to be different but try and understand that difference is not just about face value, that man in the grey suit and nine to five job may look boring but how can we even guess what his plans, dreams and secret realities are?
Some people are more extreme or 'different' than you could ever guess by just looking at them (especially parents) but they may be more discreet about it or just waiting for the right time.
The crime in being different is when you inflict it upon others with the same bigotry and naivety that you accuse them of.

Why do you think its a crime? You are not part of the herd and its how you want to express your individuality, don't be ashamed of it.

a lot of people like to blend in and not cause a fuss, so it scares them when other people do something different, it disrupts their cosy cotton wool world. fear and ignorance lead to hate and mob mentallity, and again as they want to blend in they join the mob, whether they are right or wrong.

it is not. the problem is that everyone cares what others think about him/her. therefore, your confidence becomes very low and you think being different is a crime but it is not.

It isn't; society is just reluctant to accept things that deviate from the norm.

Because people need to be able to blame things on others.
If you are different - it makes it easier for them.
