Things we do to fit in"When I was fifteen," writes No3L, "I curled up in a Budgens trolley while someone pushed it through the supermarket doors to nick vodka and Benny Hedgehogs, just to hang out with my brother and his mates."
What have you done to fit in?

I lied to myself and everyone elsepretended to like the "hottest" guys in my year. Bought clothes I didn't really like so people would stop laughing at my second hand stuff.
Stopped reading books above my age level and tried to fit in with the cool kids.
Pretended I liked boys when I actually didn't (went so far as to have sex with a boy - and hated it).
one time when I was a little younger (13), someone asked me if I had ever "picked up" anyone. Being a completely innocent and naive 13 yr old, I said "yeah I guess - I picked up so and so from her house the other day" - only to be ridiculed for apparently picking up someone I actually hadn't. so and so in question was actually a dear friend of mine who to this day still laughs with me about it.
Now I'm just me. hyped. ghey. bright. I wear what I actually like and I listen to whoever's music grabs me the most.
