Real People

Growing up can be hard because you are forced every which way by peers. The hardest thing to do is to go your own way and be the person you want to be. It's a strugle everyday and if you stop fighting for even one second you lose.

It is one things to like all the trends and the music or whatever because if that's who you really are then that is who you are you can't help that you really do like all of the things that are "cool". But it is completely different if you only like it because it is the "cool" thing not because you actually would get it weather or not it was the thing to have.

It can be hard enough to find who you are without all of the pressure from everyone else. Your parents and friends and teacher possibly, everyone trys to pressure you at some point. it could be with fashioin trends or with school work or with what you want to do with your life.

If you let it get to you then you might as well just do everything they tell you to do and start just believeing everything they say.

But if you want to make your own decisions and not be stressed out by everything everyone is wearing or doing, then think for yourself.

Don't take everything that everyone tells you for truth or absolute. Question authority. Ask questions. Get informed and form your own opionions.

Be yourself and you will find people that like you for you and no one else. You will be much happier as yourself than you would pretending to be something that you aren't.

i totally agree with you!!
and this is something that im pretty sure everyone will experience this in their life if they havent already..

"its better to b hated for who you are than liked for who you arent."
