THE IMPORTANCE OF BEING YOURSELF!!!
-
I think that the most important thing when your being with your friends or other people is being yourself!!!
Although being yourself is hard for some people and me sometimes you should still be yourself always even if you want to improve others sometimes acting like someone else would make that person think your weird.
I think that when someone says “be yourself ” it means that just act like what you think you should act like not to improve someone by being someone else, but being yourself!!!
Many people want to “fit in” with a crowd of people that are cool or popular by not being themselves. They pretend that they’re cool and mean to people who actually are being themselves whether or not they’ll “fit in” or not!
- In my opinion fitting in would be hard because you have to please everyone by being someone your not. You pretend to critisize classmates that were you before you started to “fit in with the crowd”.
In our school there might be some people that are “the crowd” and people that want to be part of “the crowd.” I don’t think that I’m being myself, but then I don’t really realize it so I don’t really know. I think that that happens because the people that aren’t in the crowd wants to be friends with them because they are cool and popular.
For me since I don’t really know for me what being myself is I think that it’s really hard once you try to be in the crowd to be the way you are. It’s hard for others to be themselves when everyone else critisize them that what they want to be is either stupid or a dumb idea.
There’s alot of pressure on you whether to try to fit in or to be yourself and find friends that care about what you want to be. Real friends care about you, not telling you that you look ugly or say that what your wearing is short and they don’t tease you. They say encouraging things about you. There’s a lot of pressure, because your deciding if you want to change or be yourself. That’s really hard.
