Have you ever forgotten who you really are? The person that is inside and not out? Sometimes (even a lot of the time) we are someone who we are not. At least at my age it seems to be a big deal about who you are and if you will be accepted. If you are slightly different and dont like something you can end up being looked at weirdly. How do I know? I am very different from everyone but really everyone is. It use to bother me being different. It is like why dont they like me and why do they put down for what I like? The thing I had to realize is there is nothing wrong with what interests I have and that there are people who like me for me. Dont be someone who you are not just to fit in. Be you. You will find people who will like you for you and that is what matters
Very wise of you Anna! Keep on being YOU, and you will end up so much happier in life than all the other people who pretend to be what they’re not, in an attempt to fit in. And really, what’s the point of that?!! Be true to yourself and follow your dreams.
What you said is absolutely true……..and it is really important that we express ourself without thinking about what others will think because that will affect you in many bad ways than the good it does..!!
have to be me, every one else is taken
awesome!!!!
Anna, you have a good head on your shoulders. Keep in mind, followers by definition can’t be leaders. Your actions and behavior will define you as it does everyone so it’s a good idea to ‘think twice’ before speaking or acting. Have a great weekend, Sal
My good friend Anna has one good head on her shoulders. Mature for her age, I wish other teens could read and follow her advice. Keep up the good work…Jim
