Be Yourself

 
Why is it that so many people try so hard to fit in? The only person we should be seeking acceptance from is ourselves. We should be proud and happy of who we are. We should also be proud to be different because if we were all the same, life would be so boring.
I remember when I first started middle school, I didn’t know anyone. None of my elementary school friends went to my middle school. I felt so alone and scared. I kept hoping that everyone would like me and that I wouldn’t be the “weird” kid. Now that I’m older, I look back on that day and think, so what if I was the weird kid? I would be myself, be happy of who I was and nothing else would matter.
You shouldn’t have to change yourself to fit in. If somebody tries to change you, they aren’t worth it. They should accept you for who you are. Don’t let anybody try to tell you that you aren’t good enough because you are.

  3. This is a great lesson, especially in situations similar to the one you were in, when you didn't know anyone. The only people we should worry about impressing are ourselves.

  4. But what if your a murderer, and people know that...and they hate you. But if you act like your not a murderer, they love you. :)
