I live about 15 minutes from Orangeville, and some of my friends go to school with Sean. I visit Orangeville weekly to visit family. Here's something that I can make very clear:
There is a large population of kids who dress this way in Orangeville and even in Sean's own school. Claiming that he's unique and being singled out is just false. His claims of being told off by buisness owners is most likely a lie as well. Orangeville is a very diverse and 'artsy' city, and given that there is a large amount of goth and other 'scene' kids living there already, I just can't see this happening.
Regardless, it isn't right to treat people cruelly for dressing a certain way. But this particular kid seems to be a total liar.
