How do I become a "normal" teen girl?

well recently my mom has been embaressed of me because I'm not normal. She went on telling my whole family that I haven't always been this way and that I'm no longer normal. So I guess these are the things that make me un-normal

- I'd rather stay home and play video games than hang out with my friends (unless I know were getting high- but she doesn't know that)

- I'm always, ALWAYS, listening to music. Whenever I'm in public I'll have one of my ear plugs in and my ipod in my bag

-I always carry my crappy, dirty, ripped "give love" bag

- the only music I listen to is classic rock from late 60s and 70s and I love grunge music from the late 80s and early 90s- I ABSOLUTELY HATE TODAYS MUSIC!!!! (pop sucks, rap can be alright)

- I like old stuff like record players and old crappy cars better than newer stuff

- I like older styled clothes

- I never care about anything

- I'm never hungry

- I hate watching those stupid reality shows like teen mom or keeping up with the kardashians and such as, when I watch tv I usually just watch comedies like south park, beavis and butthead, family guy, or anything on comedy central

-I'd rather wear my hair as my messy natural hair than perfectly curled every day

I guess those things to her are "un-normal". so how do I become more "normal".

Update:

Ok I'm asking this so I know how I should act in front of my family to make my mom proud, she kind of compares me to my brother who is an all A student who's going to UofM whose all perfect and clean. I'm not like that so she thinks I'm un-normal. How do I act normal to her?

  • Hell with what she deems as normal, be loud and be proud! You are your own individual self and should not have to conform to societies standards. So tell them to "stick-it" by just being yourself! Also, tell them, "I am growing up, and it's normal to change. Our minds pretty much dump out our old personalities and identities as we grow out of being little kids, and the hormones don't help much either. We teenagers have to find our own way to gain our own identities all over again, so this is my way of doing it. So until I have grown out of this, please be patient with me."

  • You sound a lot like me!! Don't become normal, be proud your a different girl! I like hanging with friends a lot though, but I play video games(esspecially retro ones!), I listen to music a lot, I don't have a crappy bag though, I love old music (some fav. bands are Nirvana, Violent Femmes, No Doubt, the Beatles, the Zombies etc etc)!! Pop ussually sucks. I like record players, and I really like crappy cars. I wouldn't care if my first car was a 96' SL2 Saturn (it's not that bad, but apparently was crappy and cheap when it first came out) or a car similar to that. clothes I like older too. I sometimes wear my mom's 80s coca cola logo shirt (but I do that out of choice, don't need hand me downs), also, i like family guy, but I also like old cartoons from 60s to 90s and a few from today that aren't crap. And I would rather use my natural hair than straighten it everyday like people keep telling me I should. It sounds like you don't need a lot to be satisfied (crappy car, messy natural hair, bag) which is good because most people today need too much to be happy and you sound like a retro girl. you don't need to become normal because honestly, I have a lot of the same interests as you, and I'm really happy I'm not the average teenager;)

  • "old crappy cars"? my dear, the cars of today are crap. not the older cars.

    but you sound fine. just be yourself. if your mom insists you aren't normal, ask her if she wants you to try and get on 16 and pregnant or teen mom :)

    but i just finished high school 2 years ago. everyone i associated with in those 4 years were like that and the kids i know now that are still in high school are like that. except my one niece. but she's the black sheep in my family.... well, except for the never being hungry. the niece is like that, the rest of us are completely opposite. although half of them can eat all they want and never gain a pound...

  • Dude you just described me x) lol there is nothing wrong with being who you are I guess the only thing that's kind of messed up is the whole video games over friends thing the rest I don't really see why it's weird. And the beer caring about anything is kinda messed up so just maybe change those and your mom might notice and whatever. I dunno lol

  • Be yourself it's better to be an individual than a clone. Don't be fake. Your realself is awesome.

  • Don't be. Be yourself, no one wants someone "normal"

  • WOW YOU'RE SO INDIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YOU WATCH SOUTH PARK AND LISTEN TO GRUNGE?!?!?!

    that's what a lot of people are like, except for the playing video games part. that's weird. but whatever floats your boat. what you should do is just get good grades.

  • being different IS better. but you sound like the most average druggie , music addicted mainstream girl. just keep doing what your doing and youll be 'normal' -_-

  • I think you're a hipster, but an alright one. No worries, just be yourself.
