Trends. Fads. Very simple words yet as threatening as a gun. You have 2 choices when you here these words; you can ignore the new trend, after all you are your own person. Or you can chose to follow it. The choice depends obviously on the fad.
For example, say a girl in your grade decides to wear a bald cap to school one day, she gets her friends in on it too. So the next day you see them with no hair, do you:
A) Keep your ponytail in and your chin held high, at least you have some dignity.
B) Borrow your best friend's hat and hide your hair in it, it will have to do until you get home and rush your mom to the store!
I personally would chose A. As long as I have my friends by my side, nothing could go wrong. Some of you would chose B though....not to lose readers or anything but shame shame shame!!!
Another example could be if a new girl comes to your school all the way from Paris, France. Say she is wearing a beret in her hair, the Populars have taken her under their wing. They tell her that they just love her style and ask to borrow some berets for them to wear. She probably says yes because the next day, half the student body is walking around with the french hat on their head! Do you:
A) Not flinch when you see the idea of fashion at your school, just keep walking. After all, this is America, not Paris.
That's A again for me. And just so you know, those of you who chose B,what you are doing is lying (scary music)!
If you are the kind of person who follows trends, don't let me change you! Your true blue friends probably like you just the way you are!
This is TOD signing out!!!
Adieu! (goodbye in the new girl's lingo!)
Pleased to hear that a little baldness is now trendy! Nice post. It's always OK to be yourself.
ReplyDeleteI would also choose A for both. Love your blog!
