Life as a teenager

Being a teenager isn't the easiest thing someone can do. Allot of people even say that your teenage years are the most stressful time of your life. well to be perfectly honest it pretty much is, your surrounded by people who judge you non-stop and you feel like you have to adapt and fit in. the problem is the more you change yourself the more you uncomfortable you feel. It’s impossible to ever feel at home when you’re pretending to be something you’re not. Most teenagers try to conform. The few that succeed are normally accepted in a group of friends. The ones who can't or refuse are often labeled as rejects or outcasts and spend their high school career with a small group of friends who are criticized by the ''popular''. In my opinion it is that group of so called rejects that can live the best lives in high school and in the end are better people. Don’t get me wrong there are people in that group who turn out to be horrible people and there are people who are popular that turn out to be great people, but the group of misfits and outcasts has a bound no other group has. They support each other and are there for you when you need help. They would take the shirt off the back to keep you warm. They drop everything for you in a heartbeat and stick with you through anything. Yes, there are people from other groups who do that, most people have that one friend who’s always there. I have at least a dozen friends who i know would stay up till 3 in the morning helping me with any issue I seem to have in my complicated life. that is why i am proud to say I am a reject and a misfit, I don't fit in with many people, but the ones that take me into their circle of friends, will be there for probably the rest of my life, and the minute they need me all i have to do is say the word and i am at their disposal. That is what it means to have true friends for life and I’m glad that I managed to find them at the hardest part of my life.

Thank you to all my friends who have been there for me and always will.
