OK well everyone says be yourself right? Well what if being you is hard I know it’s hard for me. I think that the whole Do You thing is just so that when society tells you that ‘you’ is not good enough then you won’t feel as bad. For Girls it’s be yourself and be perfect too if you read that article then you should see that those girls may not be ‘college material’ but they are still very pretty and pretty normal. But what about us folks who are normal like who don’t go with the grain then we don’t an article written about us we just get scrutinized. Whenever you do something like listen to music that wasn’t meant for you then you are officially a freak. That’s not cool at all like everyone always says how when you’re homeschooled you are better and stuff but what they don’t say is that when you’re homeschooled it’s OK to be yourself. They shouldn’t say that because that isn’t true. When you are homeschooled then you just have different people who tell you that you’re not good enough or that you should be different. Because when your homeschooled your parents want you to be ‘better’ so they try to mold you into something you’re not. Doesn’t matter if in that process you lose a part of yourself as long as you are job worthy to the world that’s all that matters right? WRONG! I think that if you are they way you are then there is something out there that you want to do and that you would be good at. Like I want to be a journalist because I love different stories and different things. So that’s what I want to with my rock ‘n roll heart and all but the thing is that I have to tune everything out not to get the negativity I mean if it’s like this for me what about those people who go to school every day what about them? If I tune things out I end up missing important things but you know what it’s better and easier than listening to that negative stuff. But when you can’t tune things out everything comes crashing down on you. When I say everything I mean everything and sometimes it’s just not worth it. So I leave with a thought are you into ‘Doing You’ so much that you will just leave the world behind or will society and peers change you into something you’re not?
