Image is everything. True or False?

Image is what determines who you are to some people. Just one look at how you're dress can make you good or bad material. What I mean is that if you go around dressing in too short pants and to revealing tops, most people will call you a s*** on first glance. Same as wearing too big jackets with the hood and sagging pants, guys. You'll be placed into the thug category. You can have a 4.0 GPA and heading to Harvard, but your image will overshadow you good accomplishments. If you want to be known for your intelligence, dress intelligent. Nice, clean shirt and pants that actually fit (for guys), or a nice outfit that covers the obvious places (for girls.)





I want ya'll opinion. Do you think that if you dress a certain way (gangsta, thug, s***, emo, etc.) you'll be placed into that category even though you're not what you promote? You can be the next Bill Gates, but be passed over because you dress like a wannabe thug.


Just wondering


Please and Thankyou

Everyone does this even if they say they do not. Im not a judgemental person, but when i see a person in all black with a trench coat i shudder a little, im only human. I believe that it isnt right, but would go into an interview dressed in a halter top and short shorts? First impressions are the most important and the first thing that people is image unfortuneltly. I dont think that girsl should wear revealing clothing, and more and more young girls are! they have thongs in the little girls section for cryin out lound! I dont think that image is everything, but it is a factor and people should be able to express themselves, but there is a time and a place to do so.Image is everything. True or False?
honestly yes thats what happens people base their opinions of others based on the way they look which sounds stupid but it happens all the time and everyone does it and if you deny it then your just lying to yourself.





what matters though is what you do in return. what i mean is sure you can be placed into those categories but it doesn't mean thats who you are as a person. you can break through and show people that and proove to them that your not just some emo or goth or gangster or prep whatever but that you are something much more.
You are right on a Target. But, in my opinion,you should be yourself and dress appropriate at all time. Then no one judges you. Happy new you 2008 and welcome any time.
TRUE...my bf and i talked about this today about how you wouldn't buy a car,house,stocks, etc off some one who was dirty, poorly dressed or wearing Kmart clothes because if you can't afford to look nice at your job then why would i want to give you my money or time they can't handle








older ppl that own these business and invite you to these big colleges don't understand and or like this new way kids are dress and won't give them the time of day
I agree you can dress a certain way and not be in that category. I dress like a prep, but don't act how many consider them to act I am shy and consider myself nice. Most people consider Preps to be the complete opposite of my personality. And it's not fair, people think that image is everything and it gets overshadowed by personality.
yes, it's true. no, it isn't fair. I've been stereotyped, I've been friends with people who have been stereotyped. People were told to stay away from me JUST because I was friends with the guy everyone loved to hate. did they know he was extremely nice and a dedicated teen father? no. did they care? no. people are always going to be hurtful and shallow by not giving someone a chance because of how they look. I've been at the lower end of the chain to learn to never do it.
Absolutely false
Sad but true, this is the way the world works.
true... most of the time. Unless people really know you.
Yes, I think appearances are VERY important in our society. I'm a school teacher and am constantly judged, not necessarily by how I dress but by my career. There are certain things that people think teachers should not do, like go to bars, like heavy metal music, like black nail polish. I wish everyone were able to just be themselves but I don't truly think that our society will ever accept people for who they are!
Mainly it's actually self-image. If you aren't happy with how you look then nobody will be.





Make yourself look how you want to look but try to dress within a certain code. Obviously don't dress in black unless you have a reason for it or unless it looks good and black isn't the main colour. Mostly certain groups have certain colours but what makes a person unique is their own combination of colours in which they wear most of the time. Make those colours unique to you and change them according to the seasons - lighter shades for summer and darker shades for winter and vice versa.





I have light skin and dark brown hair so I've chosen my colours to be chocolate brown, white, light pink and pastel colours when there's a variation. Even though people deny it, image does mean something as to how you present yourself but it isn't everything. Your personality also helps with making a descision on what kind of person you are.
Problem is, people (teens) don't dress as to who they are. They dress to impress. To put out a certain image that isn't even them.
YOU ARE RIGHT ON
well if someone walks by and sees you in short pants and a revealing top but you get strait A's then there going to think your a s*** but if the person knows you they might see the real you.
