Have you ever tried this hard to be like everyone? Have you ever tried this hard to impress everyone with your looks, or even your personality? I’ll tell you a quick story. In a school every girl had a short skirt and a face iced with make-up, except one. Her name was Cecelia, Cecelia didn’t like to wear a short skirt or have make-up on. Instead she wore an ordinary hoody and jeans. Her hair was tied up and every teenage female in the school was looking at her, talking behind her back, just because she wasn’t dressed the same way but instead was dressed appropriately for school. With all the pressure, the next day Cecelia came to school dressed up like everyone else. Being a teenager while being yourself, is hard. Have you ever been dragged by your friends? Have your friends ever told you your shirt was so yesterday? If yes, you don’t need to take in those words to change yourself. It may sound easy to do but with all the pressure around you from your friends it may be quite hard. Be honest, how many of you girls like to take a friend with you to the bathroom? Being dragged or dragging your friend around is something that happens to everyone. When I say everyone, I mean literally everyone. To be honest, I get dragged around A LOT. So I guess its quite typical..cause I like to take my friends places too. I wonder how many people in here like to isolate themselves. Do you guys like lock to yourself in your room on your laptop or phone all day? Do you guys only come out of your cave for dinner then go back to hibernation? How much time do you spend with your family each day? Sorry about all this curiosity but be honest, we probably spend more time on social media than we spend with our family or on our homework. With all the technology, fashion trends, and fads we’re probably too distracted by it to put real effort into our everyday lives.
