Identity.

Identity :: You! (:


-- ~ --


I think that identity is one the most important things for us in middle school. I think this because many people think that acting different will change everything, or acting the way some people want you to will make things better. I disagree with this because your identity is who you are, and changing it usually isn't a comfortable thing to do. What if you're a very quiet person, and suddenly, you decide to be loud and talkative? It's a really hard transition.


People sometimes want other people to think better of them. It could be anything! So, they decide to change something about them: style, personality, or anything that the person feels isn't right. However, if it doesn't work out correctly, it can lead to a big letdown. You should only change yourself if you feel that it's right, and you absolutely should NOT force it.


I used to think that acting the way someone would want me to would make me a better person, but it didn't. I believe that every person having their own identity makes people unique, and it's more fun getting to know a person! So, like I've said, your identity is who you are, and don't just change it hastily.
