So what are teenagers? Growin up? Sometimes we are told that we are old enough for understanding the money exchange on airport but young for carrying that money with you. They say your teenage years are about finding yourself and discovering who you are, we’re told that being unique and different is crucial. What they fail to mention is that you’re supposed to be yourself in a world where everyone seems to be the same! We all like to believe that we make our own choices and live our own lives. But before you break out of prison, you have to acknowledge that you’re in one my dear Rashi! Today, if you wear makeup, you’re pretentious, if you don’t, you’re ugly. If you wear short clothes, you’re too bold, if you don’t, you’re a prude. If you have “guy friends” you’re an attention seeker, if you don’t, you’re sexist. If you read, you’re a nerd, if you don’t you’re stupid. If you drink (Hello, peer pressure!) you’re an alcoholic, if you don’t, you’re a loser. If you speak your mind, you’re blunt, if you don’t you’re fake. Forget pleasing everyone, you can’t ever please anyone! So do you shy away from individuality? Or do you tear down the menacing walls of society? You should do neither! In life it’s all about, “They might think?”, “What will they think”, “I don’t care what they think”, each one varies greatly, but why are “they” even taken into account? Whether it’s dismissing them or being like them, don’t do it for them, do it for you! Don’t conform, but don’t rebel either, what’s the point? Pave your own path and walk on it with pride. Leave labels for clothes and spare the people, if someone laughs at you for being different, laugh at them for being the same! But remember acceptance works both ways: You can’t possibly expect to be accepted for who you are and simultaneously make people that fit your idea of “weird” feel like outcasts! If you want to see a change, remember that you must BE the change as well. Remember these four words you only live once YOLO! and make your every day a special one.And if it isn’t believe me it will be !cause at the end of the day everything turns out to be perfectly fine!
