Ever felt that you don't fit in
?
That everyone else knows the secret of living and you don't.
Lots of teenagers feel like this sometimes. It's part of growing up and finding our place in the world. But it can make us feel insecure.
Because we all need to feel accepted - we want people to like us.
Trouble comes along if we try to pretend that we're someone else - just to fit in.
We might pretend that we're tough, that we're not scared, that we don't care. We might take drugs - even though we don't really want to. Just to fit in with our friends.
But the funny thing is - they're pretending too! So it's like some stupid game!
If someone does something - like take drugs - it doesn't mean we have to do it as well.
That's saying we can't think for ourselves! That we're all the same!
What do you think
Are we all the same?
