High School Rants

#6

Hey! Just a reminder that this is an all new-and-improved chapter #6

Tag alongs. No, I'm not referring to the tags you attach onto your bags/suitcases when you travel.
I'm actually referring to people who are in a friendship group, but they are either "falling behind", or sheepishly agree with the other people in the friendship group, purely on the basis of "fitting in".
You know, that one that looks like they're trying to fit in too hard?

Here's a classic example: a couple of friends pack up their bags and leave the classroom. Then, there is that one person who is desperately trying to pack up their bag, just to try and catch up with the others. When they eventually do, they are not involved in the conversation, and are the only one walking behind as opposed to in front or next to.

Perhaps they are intimidated? Or that they are too afraid to be themselves, and fear the disapproval of their fellow peers, should they show their true selves.

Now, I'm not speaking from experience, but it must be so hard not being yourself around others. Almost, intolerable.
Should this be the case, my heart goes out to you!

Remember, there is absolutely NOTHING wrong with being yourself! If others like the real you than they do, and if they don't they don't. Your real self is indeed good enough-in fact, better than good enough-great enough!
You are you, be content, be happy with yourself.
Don't worry about sitting on your own during breaks, you will attract people just like you, and soon enough, you'll have a few real friends-genuine!

Now, I know that this chapter was a little bit shorter than the rest, but I strongly believe in individuality, and I felt that this message was very important to bring across.

Until next time readers:):)
