Hey guys, and welcome to 10th entry. I recently read something that got me thinking. It was basically about mainstreamers and how a person changes their likes, dislikes, appearance etc. for another person or group of people. Well here is what I have to say to this.
People have free will. They do whatever it is they want to do because they have free will. Only in certain situations is a person unable to control his or her actions, such a multiple personality disorder or being threatened. Other than that, a person is free to do what they want. So if you want to like a boy band because your friends all like them or if you want to do drugs because you want to be cool, that’s all on you. You are the one who wants to smoke or drink or like a band. You had control of your actions and nobody forced you to do anything. You had a choice and a lot of people forget that. We have a choice. Our lives are mostly based on decisions. Whether you say yes or no, it is all on you. You are no one’s puppet.
For “mainstreamers”, there is nothing wrong with liking a new trend or style, but don’t like it just because everybody else is. You should have a reason for liking a certain band or phase. Remember that we have free will and can like or dislike whatever we want. For example, One Direction is mainstreamed. People supposedly love them, but the only song they know is What Makes You Beautiful. Some people do not even know all the names of the boys. They only know that they are good-looking and sing well.
So don’t follow the crowd. Make your own path and don’t care about what others have to say about your decision. The best thing about a decision made from you is that you have a feeling of freedom and relief, as if you are not being tied down. Go and be different in life because your personality and opinions are what makes you special. Please use your free will to do what is right, which is avoid drugs and underage drinking.
So thanks for reading this week’s entry. I hope you enjoyed and will read blog entry 11 next week. Goodbye and have a good day.

Where Do You Fit In?
Hey guys, and welcome to my ninth entry. In this entry I will be talking about fitting in. I’m pretty sure that most of you, if not all, have felt out of place in society at some point. Everybody probably has asked themselves the question, where do I belong, or something remotely close to that.
First of all, don’t worry about where you belong. You shouldn’t care about how popular you are or what is the biggest gossip in your school. Just focus on yourself and those who actually care about you and you will be fine. I know this stuff is easier said than done, but a little determination will take you far in life.
In my school, there is no such thing as popularity. We have different people with different interests and personalities, but we all socialize with each other one way or another. I’m not saying I am best friends with everyone in my school, but I’m pretty sure I can identify every person who I will graduate with. I am even friends with people who aren’t in my grade level and a couple of teachers as well. Some of you may not be as friendly and outgoing as me (no offense), but if you just say hi to someone or even give them a smile, you could be on the road to a great friendship.
You should also try to be friends with someone who has some of the same interests as you, but not everything. Trust me when I say that you don’t want to be with a person who is just like you. So if you are outgoing, try being friendly with a shy person. Who knows, maybe that person will be a very good friend of yours in the future.
Anyways, don’t worry about cliques and popularity; true friendship will last a lifetime. Try to balance your social life with your professional and personal life. Also, enjoy life and have fun. Life is an adventure and you should explore it until your heart's content.
That’s it for today. I hope you enjoyed the entry and tune in next week for my next one. Thank you to all my viewers, followers, and friends. I would have not made this blog if not for you. Have a good week everyone.

Stop It.
Hello readers, and welcome to my eighth entry. Sorry for the delay, but here it is. A while back, I posted about people being peer pressured. Well, you could think of this as a continuation of that entry; only now I will be talking about those who do the pressuring.
There are countless reasons why people pressure others. Most of you who pressure do it because you need someone to reinforce a bad decision so it doesn’t seem that bad. Others of you are the “leader” of your group and everything you say goes, no matter how wrong or idiotic your decision is. Some of you are just spoiled snobs who believe your word is law as if you are a king/queen. I know these assessments may seem blunt, but that’s just the way i put things. Besides, some of you guys need a reality check. Do you honestly think you can get away with this in the future? You will be shunned by everyone and no one will like you. Your “royal subjects” will finally move on. This may sound mean and harsh, but I am just saying it like it is.
Now, how do we change this little problem? Honestly, it is all up to you. I don’t expect you to turn your personality a full 180° overnight, but I do hope you won’t rely on your friends to respond to your every word like a dog to its master. Just be more appreciative of your friends and don’t take them for granted. Also, try to stay away from drugs, alcohol, skipping school, and all that other bad stuff. You might think they are your “only reason for living,” but I don’t believe in that. Life is more than just alcohol and partying. Life is a special gift and some of us are unable to have it. Appreciate that you are in the world and have people who care for you. Life is to be taken seriously; it can be taken away in an instant.
This is probably just a huge collage of personal opinions and rudeness, but it is supposed to mean something. Whatever it means is however you interpret it. Whether you are the victim or the one calling the shots, I hope this entry, as well as my entire blog, changes the way you see life. Anyways, I hope you like this entry and tune in next week for my ninth one. Have a great week.
