I believe in being yourself no matter what happens. I think it is the most important thing, no matter what other people think of you. Being different from everyone else makes you awesome. I don't think people should be afraid to show the real them. There are so many people pretending to be someone they aren't just to impress others. It is irritating to me that people are made fun of for being them. If they are different from you and your friends that does not give you the right to bully him/her. Maybe you can learn something amazing from that weird kid.

You might change and change is scary and exciting. You get to experience new things that you would never do if you were just trying to impress others. There was this horse riding class I went to for a while, and there are two styles of riding I liked both. So I went out to buy riding pants and boots for the class, well I got black riding pants for one style and cowboy boots for the other style. I got made fun of in my class for being myself. I got made fun of because I wore something different from the others, I mean really!? I thought that was stupid. But after a week I saw another girl with western boots and English riding pants and we both laughed and became friends. So I figured out to be myself and stand out and I will find friends just like me.

I hope you will find out who you are and stand out from the crowd!
