I'm having an identity crisis!?

I've been into the Goth subculture since I was eight years old. I've always loved everything dark and spooky. But there's a group at school (the scene kids) who I really like. I get along very well with them, and I like hanging out with them. But they'll only talk to me when I dress like one of them. I don't know what to do; if I stay with this group, I'll (for once) have a social life. But if I go back to being myself, I'll go back to being made fun of by everyone. ... So, here are my choices: Be myself and have no social life, or be fake so that I can have friends. What should I do?
