New school, New style

Yes, that's right. I am now going to a different school, a private, therapuetic school, and it's name I will not say for safety reasons.
But along with it comes a price. At public school, I could wear what I wanted and not feel like an outsider. But at this new school people wear all black, and have piercings, and dye their hair bright pink or smokin' red. If I wear a skirt, or a frilly dress, I'm always afraid of getting laughed at. I know I shouldn't, because I'm just being myself, but I would just feel awkward, you know?
For instance, Anna* has pink streaks, always wears a Led Zepplin sweatshirt, and her nose is pierced. If that's how most all of them look, how am I supposed to fit in?
From now on, I'm not going to be afraid of being myself. So what if I wear a Justice sparkly skirt? Or a T.J. Maxx sequinned sweater? Seriously. That's just me, so I'll wear what I want.
Here's the truth: Real friends won't judge me based on my style. They'll accept me for who I am.
