For one of the “If” questions it asked what
the hardest thing about being a teenager is in today’s world, and I answered
that the hardest thing about being a teenager is being yourself, and/or finding
out who exactly you are instead of what you think you should be. So many people
in this day and age especially have some sort of standard that they feel they
must comply with, or put up a front of themselves for self-protection, when
really the only image that you should reflect is that of your own true
personality that defines you.
Some
people may disagree with me, and some may not even notice it, or care to, but I’ve
seen the effects of social pressure warp people into someone else completely-
as a high school student you see it every day. It’s quite lame.
It might be nice to be young and free again, but I don't think I'd like to go back to the pressures and insecurities that come with being a teenager...Be you--be true.
