Myself

In middle school it is so hard to get by with just being yourself. People have this stereotype made up in their head that says you have to look, act and dress a certain way in order to be "cool" or accepted, but what if someone doesn't want to be just like everyone else? What if they aren't the same as the others? I feel like being an individual today is looked down upon. You have to be accepted into a clique or have a best friend to be accepted. Some people will do anything to become accepted. Often I find myself doing or saying things that the real me wouldn't say of do, or I find myself trying to look for the approval of others because I am not satisfied, or I am too preoccupied to notice the handful of people right in front of me that already accept me for me. I need to try and become content, and not focus on trying to be someone I'm not just so one person will like me, but actually it isn't the real me. Does that make any scene? I need to work on just being who God created me to be regardless of what anyone else thinks, because I was created, planned and chosen by the King of Kings to be His child forever.
