Life is Ours.

"Life is ours and we live it our way."

Or so we should.

Too many young kids these days aren't happy with themselves because they don't get the chance to be who they truly are.

Instead they follow the crowds, listen to what everyone else is listening to,

wear what everyone else is wearing, and do what everyone else is doing,

All because they want to fit in and think it's the "cool" thing to do.

What ever happened to the days when people could always be who they wanted to be and not who society or the media thought they should be.

The days when  it didn't matter what clothes you wore or what you listened to,

the days where you could walk down the street without being judged or put down,

the days when people weren't afraid to show the world who they were.

The young ones of today do what ever it takes to fit in, and in some cases that even means 

Doing drugs, drinking alcohol, having sex, getting into trouble with the law,

the thing that gets me is it isn't just the older kids doing this, 

it's kids as young as 12, sometimes younger.

Is this really the image we want to put out there?

Do we really want our kids, or grandchildren growing up with this kind view on how life should be lived?

Everyone should always be who they want to be, and not worry about what people think.

Kids should be taught it's okay to be different, and that they should always be themselves no matter what other people say.

I know people will always be judged and put down, we can't change that but,

Would you rather be someone who you know you're not and never have a chance at true happiness 

or be the person you know you are, find happiness and deal with those who put you down just because in reality they're jealous?
