Being Who You Are

In Whittier a lot teens like me try to fit in. Over the three going on four years that I have lived in Whittier I have tried to fit in. I mostly try to fit in during the summer because there are a lot of kids who only come to Whittier in the summer which I call "Summer Kids" for short and well you have to be a "cool kid" to hang out with them and for the longest time I actually tried to be one of the "cool kids", but I soon realized that it wasn't worth my time. A lot of them are over 14 years old and I personally feel like they should know that fitting in is not okay because you are being who someone else would like you to be and you're not being yourself which is the best you. I always ask them why they try to fit in, but they tell me that their not and trust me they are because I sit in my apartment most of the summer and I see them and they do try to fit in. I was really surprised to learn that my own sister tries to fit in and again trust me it's something she would never do. To me it's very sad to see people fit in because I know that's not who they really are. The moral of this post is that you should never be afraid to be who you really are and you should also not be afraid to show your true colors.
