I remember when I was in sixth grade and I wrote a book with almost 1K reads, and it was a biography about my imaginary friend, who's name was Bob The Potato. Looking back on it, my creativity was much more open than now, and I lacked the ability to care what others thought of me. But I guess once you get use to middle school (I am now going into HighSchool), you seem to lack self-confidence and you start worrying about what other people thought of you, even if you were friends with everybody. You would still worry if your pretty enough for them, if your nice enough, funny enough, and smart enough. You would think about if they would like you in your new pair of jeans, and your new Green Day t-shirt. Would they think your emo or gothic for wearing that choker? What if you ended up coming out? Would they like you then? If you were emotionally distraught, would they ignore you? All of these things pop up in your mind when you are a teenager, and in elementary you remember the freedom you felt. You were yourself, and nobody seemed to care. It was a perfect world. But then when it's the end of fifth grade and the beginning of sixth grade, you seem to think that you need to be the top of the class. You need to be popular and have everybody like you. And that's not what you should think. You should think about if you like yourself. And the fact of the matter is, if you don't like yourself, than you are not being yourself. And if you don't like yourself how can you except others to like you?
