My friends call me a sell-out....?

Question

I am in the 10th grade. My friends make fun of me because I dont like the same music they like. I love Aerosmith and I love classical music. I hate most rap. Some it okay but most if it is garbage. My friends say that I dont listen to rap because I think that I am better than they are and they call me a sell-out. They say black have no business listening to rock music.I am not trying to be better than anyone. I just know what I like and waht I don't like. I have told them that it hurt my feelings but they just make fun of me even more.What should I do??

Answer 1

I think the poem by Robert Frost best answers this (last three lines):

The Road Not Taken


TWO roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;

Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,

And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back.

I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.

Answer 3

maybe find other friends who have similar interests. you can still hang out with your present "friends" if you want to, but if they are good friends, they will appreciate you for who you are.

Answer 4
