I am happy with myself but. am I weird?

I love my personality! I am a very sensible young girl however I feel utterly different from all of the other teenagers I know. I will explain:
Whilst other teenagers go out and have fun at the weekends at parties, I'm trying to build my business for myself as a wedding singer which may I say is coming alond slowly but surely (thanks for the advice Rob!) I am different because I never go out at weekends without my friends or family unless we split off from one another, I love completely different music from other teens. I love The Beatles, Queen, Elvis, Cliff Richard (I do like One Direction too), I would rather watch a good horror movie or comedy movie than go out at the weekend. I don't want a boyfriend/girlfriend yet, too much trouble whilst I'm in 6th form. I am much more educated from all of the other teenagers I know, I'm not being snobbish but I have to work harder for what I have now A/A*'s in all subjects except maths because I have Dyslexia and other learning disabilities, some related to my Autism others not. Also I am a virgin, which is apparently extremely rare in my school/'social circle'. Finally the one thing that seperates myself from my peers is that I'm religous, also very 'weird' for a girl of my age. I think I have a nice perosnality, I'm fun, bubbly, caring, loving and honest but I can't help feel... am I weird?
Thank you in advance for your answers.

The things you describe are traits of someone who thinks their own thoughts instead of following the crowd. There's absolutely nothing weird about that. Some people are like sheep; they'll follow the herd off a cliff. You're just a different little lamb that thinks for herself. That's something to be very proud of, not something to worry about.

The way I've always looked at things is that there is no such thing as normal or weird. You are who you are and should never be ashamed by that. Besides the people that are like you go on to do great things.

You sound just like me at your age! LOL. You sound focused, responsible, and confident. You're so smart to focus on your personal development instead of wasting energy on relationship drama. No, you aren't weird. You're just more mature than your peers, and that makes you stick out a little more.

I am in a very similar position. I have few friends, like older music, and don't seem to fit in with the rest. But that does not mean we are wierd. To other people, we may be, but that is their opinion and not a fact. You shouldn't let this get you down. Sometimes, I can fit in in certain places. For example, I like to roller skate and I don't like to brag but I am usually the fastest person there. Most of the time, I can even outskate the grown-ups. I also can do a couple of tricks to back it up. There I fit in and I try to go there as much as possible.

You shouldn't let this bother you. It does not matter what other people think, as long as you are content with yourself. It sounds like you do have a good personallity. Don't try to cover up who you are to fit in with everyone else.

you're just like me. in a way. maybe slightly different. because I'm atheist. but still. I care about my grades and prefer to watch something scary on HBO than to go out.
