this is weird

I was looking through peoples blogs today and I came to a strange realization about a lot of different people and what they say. Do you ever realize how many people write "I don't want to conform to your society" or "I just want to be myself" and my personal favorite "Being myself in a crowd of people"? Okay what I love is how you wish to be yourselves yet you always say the crowd is restricting you. I hate to sound harsh and mean but guess what, I don't see a single person in our high school being held at gun point and being forced to do what everyone else does. you may say that teen pressure is extremely hard, and granted it is hard at times; and you may also say that other circumstances in your life make things difficult but still no one is making you be like someone else in high school. No one is 'forcing you' to change to be 'cool'. As a matter of fact, you are the ones changing to match the society you so supposedly despise. See an irony in this?? See by changing to match everyone else, then complaining about matching the rest of the world are you really doing anything. Honestly if you want to be yourself don't adapt in the first place. What I love is how people will probably take offense to this and you know I don't intend to come off harsh here. I really am not pointing fingers nor am I trying to sound arrogantly cocky. I know I have said some pretty dumb things relating to this in the past. My biggest point out of this whole entire thing is that maybe instead of becoming one with society to begin with, you should try being different from the start. Once you deem it socially acceptable it becomes nearly impossible to change that attitude.

*When I say "you" I mean it in generic terms no direct correlation to a particular person.*

You say you want change, maybe you should change yourself and watch the way the entire world changes along with it.
