A non-conformist teen stated, "There's room for everybody on the planet to be creative and conscious if you are your own person. If you're trying to be like someboday else, then there isn't." A believer of individuality and non-conformity, this teen seems to live a happy life. She believes to survive in this world, one must have an identity and to love themselves.
A conformist teen believes, "teens want to belong and it is hard to belong if you are always going agaisnt the grain." He also believes teens are more likely to confor based on "te actions of the peer group."
Conformity vs. non-conformity has always recieved mixed opinions. Some believe you must embrace your flaws and live your own life, while others believe teens should follow the crowd instead of succumbing to peer pressures. But, everyone must realize that every teen, every person, has their own story, and it is their job to write it.
