In this special blog both Michael and I, Caroline, are going to be sharing our thoughts in this quote: "I'd rather be hated for who I am than loved for who I'm not."-Kurt Cobain. We chose this quote because it spoke out to us and it was inspirational. This quote signifies that its better to be yourself and not act or be someone else. Especially in this time, many young kids fall into a scene where it is "cool" to be a part of. Originality doesn't exist anymore.Younger kids look up to the older crowd thinking that it's the right way to fit in. These kids are lying to themselves, it's better to be who you are, then to pretend to be something you're not.
Everyone is different and special in their own way. It's okay to be yourself because it shows people that not only are you true to yourself but to others as well. Our opinion is, we prefer to be someone who is themselves rather than wasting time with a person who lies to themselves. We believe that peer pressure drags people into something they are not. In a way society changes people, some people want to fit in, and the only way for them to do that is to go in the bandwagon and follow what everyone else is doing. Commercial advertisement plays a massive role with peer pressure. It pressures anyone to look or act a certain way.
Sincerely,
Michael Salcedo & Caroline Gentile
