Identity

One of the biggest problems for kids our age is trying to find out who you are. Middle school gives you so many new opportunities and a new way to look at things and you start to wonder how you fit into all of this. You may start to wonder if you are hanging out with the right group of friends; if they like you or not and how you might try to fit in with them. Sometimes you just want to be a kid but you have all these new responsibilities. (Becca) Drama is the overall name for unhappiness. It can make anyone cry and get mad. It's like before Middle School, life was simple. No enemies and no fights. You think you know who you are but you don't know who you //really// are unless you are at this stage. ( Emelie)

Sometimes you stop becoming the kind person you once were and start talkimg about people and making fun of them. Also, when you hang around a certain group of friends they start to influence you. Slowly the pieces that make you, fall apart and re-build you into something new. and when it's too late, you realize, I hate what I've become. In order to fit in and be accepted you develop a mask; a mask that will eventually become your face. A mask that will change who you are. (Nisha)

Everything becomes a competition. I think that in the end, each and every one of us knows that this happens but we just can't control the fake lives that we've created. (Paige)

People our age need to stop worrying about if they're popular or not, they need to start thinking about who they are going to become. (Dao)
