I view sixth grade as kind of that year when you start that long journey of discovering your style and personality. I kinda jumped on and off the style train. I went from hippie to hot topic in a record time of about one month. You've probably seen my emo hair or heard my boot buckles clinking down the hall, but I'm not actually that scary. I like bands and tv and painting my nails just like the next person, just what I do is a little different. The person next to you might love Pretty Little Liars, but not for even one second should you think that you need to change yourself just to be their definition of "popular" or "cool" or "pretty". You've probably heard that whole "we're all beautiful on the inside" talk, but the truth is, not all of us are. There are some really nasty people out there that think it's fun just to bring other people down.
Be patient and understanding, but don't let anyone push you around or take advantage of you. Also, the definition of "cool" does NOT mean you need to wear makeup and buy clothes at Abercrombie and Fitch and Aeropostale. I spent most of sixth grade in band t-shirts and jeans and honestly, those girls who giggle in high pitched voices and gossip about shopping and boys are repulsive. I'm perfectly fine with my bands and fictional characters, thank you very much! So what if I play video games and listen to loud music instead of wearing skirts and going to the mall? Does that make them any better than me? No! Absolutely not. But if shopping and boys is your fancy, I don't go up to you and tell you so. Well actually I do but that doesn't mean that you should. Bad example, sorry. Anyways, point is to be yourself. Stay yourself but find yourself, be you. Enjoy being a kid while you can because once it's gone it's gone. Good Luck!
