I was doing a project for school.When i stumbled upon.. this survey done by some teens.Topic: Peer PressureFocus: What's Cool? Boys
"Chess and video." (13)"Hanging out, roller blading, alternative music." (14)"Beepers." (14)You know what made me feel special? "When I graduated I got an award... and when they said my name, everybody cheered."Girls
"Beating my 15-year old [boy] cousin in Jetskiing"(12)"Boys. Going out, TV, Nintendo, family, friends."(15)"Dressing cool, like me." (13)"Music, body piercing" (14)"Dying your hair purple, bell bottoms...the 60's were cool."(14)"I live in the projects,.. those who wears baggy jeans are cool."(12)Yeah.But for me right...Being totally different from everybody else.That's cool. Be true to yourself. Be yas? Be rina? Be bebe? (all macam cool)Don't be an anything. Be a whatever. (distracted by a water joke, thirsty ar)Being Yourself. Staying on a straight line,.. not getting pregnant at 16, using drugs, smoking cigarettes, thinking it's cool. It's NOT cool. If people would stop looking for approval,.. they'd be happy being themselves.Erm ok. It's sharing time! Someone very dear to me once told me this. Our life's are not THAT difficult actually.It's WE who made it difficult for ourselves. (go ponder on this why don't you)
