There’s no doubt about it: Katy Perry is weird -- and she wants everyone to know it. And while not every teenager is going to go out in the world wearing a light-up candy dress, they should find comfort in the fact that Katy Perry does. In a May interview with Entertainment Tonight, Perry equated her odd nature with being sexy. She remarked, “I think it's the weirdness [that makes me hot]. Maybe it's just that fact that I'm OK with being a geek.” And that is the secret that landed Katy Perry on Maxim’s Hot 100 List.

Whatever makes her weird, Katy Perry fans are connecting with her message. As one webcam devotee states at the beginning of the new movie “Part of Me 3D” about her idol, "She taught me it was OK to be weird." The message of course being that everyone should be themselves. In her uniqueness, Perry extends the notion to fans that if they are true to their own spirits, they’ll be originals just like her.

But this is a time when kids are being bullied for being different and the pressure to fit in is only reinforced by the popularity contests bred by social media. So even though deep down lots of kids might want to go to school in a carousel-skirted dress, it might be easier said than done. Do you think it's OK to be odd? Do you embrace your weirdness?

There is no normal. "normal" is a term to define the weirdness of a large group (particularly mainstream) in short: EVERYONE IS WEIRD SO DEAL WITH IT :) besides its no fun to conform into "normal"

Cindy lauper back in the 80s was really different and shes done alot of good things for music and people... just because people disagree with "being weird" doesnt make them "bad" people either.

It makes you (sometimes) become an 'individual' instead of just being like everybody else. It's good to be 'different' sometimes So everybody will remember you

I think it's important to be yourself. Whether it's considered "weird" or "normal", just be yourself. Life is too short.

I think its normal for people to be weird. But Katy only got weird to gain more attention. imo!

if you're not weird then you're not unique, everyone has something that others find weird so why change or hide it to look 'normal'? just be yourself and enjoy life =)
