ARE YOU YOUR OWN PERSON?
You may think why i am i posting this but i have had a break through in my own reality, i am 14 at the difficult age where i have to fit in at school make sure i say the right thing in order to be 'normal'. But how can we define being normal?
Within the last few days i have realised that i should just be me in front of my 'friends' and i have done.. Since then yes i have had the crap taken out of me but there has been a real friend at school who has stuck by me and said all along i should be who i want to be. Sine i kinda made this kinda break through if you can call it that i have been happier in myself, me and my friend have now well effectly become better friends becuase of it. So i weighed it up would u rather have a 10 trend setter friends or one true friend who accepts you for who you are. I have learned that if poeple do take the ---- out me it's becuase they are afraid to show themselfs and are weak inside beucase of it..
So i have kind of changed and i feel really good about myself.
so answer the question
ARE YOU YOUR OWN PERSON?
I'm always myself and I have friends but there are people who hate me; I don't know why as I have done nothing to them. :S
And if they start something they usually end up looking like a right stupid bugger when I'm finished :lloyd:

Glad to see you've figured it out at 14, I know many 30 year olds that haven't gotten it yet. Be yourself. Don't waste your time on one-sided friendships. If they don't like you, don't bother trying to make them like you. And don't bother trying to straighen them out if they assume something that isn't true - if you're going to start straighening out every bugger you meet, you're going to be a very busy person.
lol... 'Normal' heh, Well personally for me, Im never normal, naver have been never will be. I always was and always will be abnormal... lol... i tihnk that the oposite of normal... Well, Im not normal, I dont care what people think anymore. I just like being my self. and sometime am normal...

The only honest to god true friend that you will ever have is yourself. Like it or not there is hatred in the world... but as much hatred there is.. i can tell you there is that much more happiness.

Disagree all you like... but one thing i have learned in life is this... if you cant be your own best friend then you will never suceed in life nor other friendships.

Listen man, im 14, soon to be 15 and I am my own person.
MY ADVICE:
Be yourself, cuz there is nothing that is more important. Don't spend your whole life trying to be something your note.
I may not be quote on quote "normal" but I have tons of friends in real life, and on the net. I am good with people. Just keep your chin up, and have fun while life lasts. I am not saying party every day and get drunk, (which could be quite fun :P) but I am saying if your trying to be like someone else...then there would be 2 people that act the same....and things get awfully boring. My friends and I all have different personalities.
Just have fun m8.

i see where you are coming from m8... i have a lot of friends in life and on the net just as you said... but there has always been my real one best friend ... names James.. we have known each other since we were born only reason was he was born same day as me and on the same ward and hospital.. now he lives on my road we see each other everyday.. he has helped though a lot and i have done the same for him. Course we disagree on things like which is the best PS2 game ect... but we are friends and i hope to god we always will be.

I always believe you should always be yourself, even from a early age. Yes its never easy when you are at school as ppl look at you as different, and some say strange maybe, But as time goes on this gets alot better, people start to respect you for that.
I guess its like being proud to be a virgin, ppl take the ---- out of you, but they also respect you loads to, for wanting to be with the right person, to share that with.
I say for one, Good on ya, be yourself. And never change.

:) I've always been my own person. Praps y i hate such a shitty school life. tho in the last year, ppl started to respect that and i almost had a group of friends :)
I think the point that comp was getting at is that you have to like yourself, be happy with who you are. If you hate yourself, yu will reflect that and ppl won't be able to make relationships with you. IE: liking yourself can bring confidence. Also, the more you smile, the more approachable you are :D
