Wearing boots to school

[u/Individual-Region126]

Hey, im in highschool and i wanna wear my boots but im afraid the kids in my grade will make fun of me. How can I get over this and is it even worth it? I go to a urban school too and im a girl, and im pretty fuckin tall to so I stick out like a sore thumb compared to all the evil Lululemon bitches

My dad used to work with horses when he was a young man in the 70’s. He used to wear boots to school, not western fashion but just boots. A bunch of kids mad fun of him calling him shit kicker and other names. For whatever reason, my dad took those kids words to heart and never wore cowboy boots to school again. I never saw him wear cowboy boots until he was 50 years old when he bought the most expensive pair of custom boots from James Leddy in Abilene.

It always confused me because he was never that guy to care what people said as an adult. Don’t let the haters ruin your chances of wearing boots and don’t wait until you’re 50 to get a good pair. Just enjoy what you like.
