Be yourself

Jeff gulped. He was really nervous. Paranoid. He had never done this, and he didn’t want to. He wouldn’t be doing it if Matt and Ben weren’t. Ben handed Jeff the joint. Reluctantly, Jeff took it. He didn’t want to smoke the marijuana, but what choice did he have? His friends were doing it and he wouldn’t look cool if he backed away. Knowing he would regret it later, Jeff took the joint and took a hit, trying to inhale as little smoke as possible. He pulled the joint away from his lips and exhaled quickly.
“Pathetic!” Exclaimed Matt. “Look, you hit it like this.” Matt put the joint to his lips and breathed deeply, drawing the flame towards him down the joint, then pulled it away, held his breath for a few seconds then exhaled slowly out his nose. He handed the joint back to Jeff motioning that Jeff should do the same. Jeff took it unwillingly. He hated himself. He was only in Ben’s basement smoking the weed because of his friends. If it weren’t for them, he wouldn’t even be wearing the same clothes. Ben and Matt wore Abercrombie and Finch and Hollister clothes, which were really expensive. Jeff didn’t have money to buy expensive clothes but bought them anyways, using the money his mum has given him to buy textbooks: Even although Ben and Matt were some Jeff’s closer friends, they made fun of him when he cheep clothes he bought at target. They criticized anyone who “didn’t have any fashion sense,” and Jeff hated it when the looked down on him.

Jeff felt pressured into doing drugs by his friends because he didn’t them to think he wasn’t cool. He bought clothes with money that was supposed to be for school so that he could fit in with their life styles. But Jeff’s friends only think he’s cool when he does what they want him to do. So Jeff is fake. He only does what his friends want him to do and has no individuality. He gives in to peer pressure and becomes what his friends want him to be. Thos are harsh words, because if Jeff was himself and did what he wanted to do, and not what his friends want him to do, his friends may not respect him anymore. Are these people really Jeff’s friends? Are they worth him hanging out with? True friends would like Jeff for who is and be friends with him not how he acts to be like them.

So if you’re walking through a shopping center wear a new coat, and someone walks up to you and tell you they don’t like your coat, is it worth getting upset about? If someone judges you or dislikes you for being yourself, are they worth being friends with? Your whole friendship would based on being fake, and you would never be able to be true to each other. If someone judges, laugh at them: It’s their problem: Not yours: Be yourself.
