What have you lost when recreate yourself into someone you really aren’t? Absolutely everything.

Conformity is beginning to appear everywhere you look. Young people as well as old are changing who they are to be like the people you see on T.V. They haven’t truly accepting who they are yet. Adopting a personality as well as habits come from not accepting who you are.

Conformity is causing eating disorders, cutting, and in extreme cases sometimes suicide. Obviously there is something wrong with people harming themselves to at attempt the perfect image. Well, being perfect is a point of view through someone’s eyes. Perfection will never be reached, and it defiantly won’t come with a razor to your wrist and your fingers down your throat. Being so skinny you can count your scrawny ribs is never attractive.

I believe that if more celebrities would speak out about conformity and the dangers of side effects, it wouldn’t be such a big issue. Getting drunk at parties and getting so high you can’t think isn’t the way to become successful. Girls are still beautiful regardless of how many shots they took at last nights party or what number the scale gives them. Guys will still be looked at as tough if they just say no to having sex, cutting, drinking, and lighting up. Anyone can say yes, but it takes someone very strong to say no. Conforming won’t make you look any cooler or prettier; it just makes you look like a fool.

If people heard the truth about how amazing they truly are at a younger age maybe they wouldn’t ruin would they are to become something they aren’t. Teach, watch, listen and learn about the issues of today, you will be part of the solution tomorrow. Help be a fight against conformity!
