Q: I'm a stranger to myself. I don't know why I do the things I do. I don't know who I am. I don't know who I want to be. I don't know what I like. And I don't know when I'm pretending to like something. I really don't know anything about myself. I change from week to week. Last week I hated rock and emo , had big earings, curly hair and hip-hop clothes. This week I'm all about emo, dark clothes, lots of eye-liner. Everyone's calling me a poser and a fake. And I guess I am. That's ok, I don't care what they think. I just want to find the real me, but how? How do I know when I'm pretending and when it's actually THE REAL me?

I'm almost 18, shouldn't I know by know?
You will never truly know who you are. You are constantly changing and deciding yourself. I go through random clothing options all the time. And people will call you a poser but your not your just a person who doensnt have to fall to the normal one line of clothing. You have a broader and more open mind than the people who call you posers. You are unique and should be proud. Most people cannot dare step out of one trend and if they do its really hard to go into the complete opposite one.
hope i helped.

thankss! you did :)

bio

Hi I'm Courtney. I Love awnsering people questions and alot of my friends call me the therapist. But besides that my life practically evolves around photography and kayaking. I'm 16 years old and bound ready for life. I have had my share of heart ache and my share of drama. But i am more forgiving than most hard core christians. My family is difficult and when i say i know what you mean i truthfully do. I have been in a lot of hard places and have thought i was never going to get out and sometimes i think again i never will. I am open to everyone and will not push you away. I am not judgemental just because everyone judges me on the fact that my hair is about a inch long. I live in a very small town whith very ignorant people so i guess thats why i am the way i am. If you would like to talk i am always on myspace. www.myspace.com/c419420

thanks Courtney
