The pressures of society can be hard to deal with, especially for tweens and teens. Many kids feel the need to fit in or be "cool". The truth is, there's no real definition of these things; they're created by society, and also by your own opinions. The coolest people don't fit in; they stand out. How? Simply by being themselves. Sometimes it may seem that you need your peers' approval, but the best way to feel validated is to be kind to yourself. No one knows you better than yourself, and you should take full advantage of that. So stop worrying! One of the best ways to live a happy life is let go of things you cannot change. Don't waste your time over something if it is not going to change anything. The same goes for people. Some people will never apologize or even realize what they did wrong. But if you stay preoccupied with negative thoughts, you won't get anywhere. The only people you should purposefully interact with on a regular basis are people that lift you up, not bring you down. If someone in your life is constantly jealous of you, gossips about you, does not share your happiness, insults you, or is otherwise not loyal to you, leave them behind. Though it can be an extremely difficult choice to make, it will be for the better. The people who truly care will accept you for being who you are and love you for it.
Whenever you're feeling down in the dumps, just remember, you're always a winner. You will always win at being you!
P.S. - I know this was cheesy, but I hope it inspired those people that need it. Don't change for others, because you're awesome just the way you are.
