Anyway, in all my years, I've only found ONE person who watched avatar and didn't like it (found it too childish). Then again, that view was based solely on "The Boy in the Iceberg". I tried to convince him to watch on, but he didn't.

Well, you just have to stand up for what you like, if someone else doesnt like it, (and ou plainly do!) but they start making fun of you, jsut tell them to get over themselves, it's not their choice to choose if you like or dislike something its yours! As much as I like that it get's crushed because of two owrds, PEER PRESSURE. But I'm rebelling against peer pressure, I don't care what people think about me, as long as my friends are still there, and if they are true friends they won't leave because of peer pressure. But I do enjoy when they make fun of me for it because I know their just kidding. Like in knitting club I was talking about the live action movie and I said I got it off of here and one of my friends gasps and I say "Yeah just google distant horizon forums and" she cut me off and said sarcastically"No I'm just surprised it's about avatar" Funny thing is, she likes it too, but she not as obsessed with it!

Good for you truwaterbender! You're right, if they are real friends, they won't run away just because you don't conform to the rest of the herd! *karma* for not giving in to peer pressure! (as soon as my hour's up) Spirit

Yes I'm starting to show my true self, including my avatar obsession. And I have to say, to be free, sure the cool kids don't think highly of you but your friends do and you think higher of yourself also, plus you get to do the thing you like to do, like knit and draw avatar!
Anyways one more time was when I was with my friend and we had finished our partner project so we were talking and I said "So wanna talk." and my friend says "About avatar?" She riducules me because I've given her long talks about the wotld of avatar, but I know she is just kidding when she makes fun of it, she doesn't make fun of it to hurt me.

They all respect me anyway (my school's quite cool in that way. I'm a geek and yet I have no conflicts with any of the cool kids). But none of my friends watch Avatar. And no, they're not fickle. But if word got out I was an Avatar fan, my friends would either have to abandon me as a friend, or crash and burn along with me. And that's why I don't tell anyone I'm an Avatar fan. Just for the sake of my friends (Frankly i don't care if you think my friends must be fickle. I know they're not, and I value them highly).

Popel only found out I watched Avatar becouse I was bored in history class last year, and decided to draw momo, appa, and aang. the kid next to me happend to be the loadest one in the class, and practically shouted "is that appa?" He had only seen the show once, and loved Appa. They dotn really make fun of me much, just on occasion. But then, im vicous when i wanna be, so i bite back unexpectadly. (im really quite at shcool, so they dont see it comming^^)

heh, I love this topic. ^^
Well I've personally only been made fun of by my immediate family, probably because only my brother (who likes it) has seen it. But I wouldn't mind if it got out, either, I'm just not in a rush to tell everyone. People would look at me weird if I just got up in front of the class and yelled "I'M AN AVATARD"... xD But instead I'll just wait until someone asks me, and I won't deny it. I don't think they'd push me out of social grouping either, there are plenty of Narutards at my school who wear their gloves and headbands with the symbols on them. Nobody makes fun of them that I've seen for it, maybe some people do I dunno but their not worth it anyways. But I have some friends like that (not the extremely creepily obsessed ones...) and they all have a good number of friends as well. Sure none of the more popular, dramatic, and insulting people will admit they like any TV Shows like Avatar... but then again thats why most people hate them at my school. For their plasticity. +_+ (long ramble of mindless doom complete)

For my school's upcoming crazy hair day, I'm doing Katara's hairloopies, I've got ebough courage to do that, the best part is, that my friends don't care, i can be thinking about Avatar and their just like okay, whatever.
One time I wrote the chinese to Avatar, that I memorized, and I out it on a girls binder and she was like what the h*** is that, some japenese cuss word. I said "No for one IT'S CHINESE, RESPECT! Two, It stands for Avatar the Last Airbender." Then she said "That stupid ids show?" The I yelled "IT'S NOT STUPID! DO YOU KNOW HOW MANY ADULTS WATCH IT? DO YOU KNOW WHAT A COMPLiCATED PLOTLINE IT HAS? NO, THEN DON'T DISRESPECT THE BLUE ARROW!" That actually happened.

The first person who I met who likes Avatar is ridculing me for it and I quote "I like it too but I don't obsess over it!" Guess what I said "Why thank you, I'm proud of my avatardnessnessness." I like making smart @$$ comments when people make fun of my for it. My favorite is saying "Why thank you." Or if two people say it," Yeah I think your friend just said that genuis." But I got an E-mail from a friend saying "I don't care if U R obessed with Avatar, U R cool in ur own way!" Yeah she likes to shorten things.
