-Well, I didn't do this, but a close friend of mine took *and still takes* brain pills and overdoses himself on purpose because in our school, it's kinda cool to be smart.. *which, i know is weird*
-change attitude
-change looks
-go on crash diets
-diss other people to be in the "in crowd"
-ignore old "uncool" friends
-smoke
-sex
-cheat
-have gfs/bfs to be cool

Note: Most of these things I didn't do, but a few of my friends did *and they told me.. ^__^;; *

askmeanytime answered Sunday April 3 2005, 4:36 pm:
ok. so many teens wear what the exact same clothes to fit in. they do their hair, makeup the same.. sometimes even go to buy the same shoes. also, some guys make fun of their best friends to fit in... same with girls.

if you need more... ask me anytime!

Peachgirly answered Sunday April 3 2005, 4:01 pm:
~gossiping and talking about people behind their back
~dissing and ignoring my friends
~wearing clothes and shoes that were in style but i hated it
~letting them copy my homework
~giving the answers to a test(like cheating)
~listening to the music they liked even though i hated it
~drinking and smoking
the thing is i learned from my mistakes. you shouldn't try to act kool or try to fit in by doing things that you don't want to do. if the group of people don't like you for the way you are then you shouldn't be friends with them.

SouthernGirl323 answered Sunday April 3 2005, 3:25 pm:
one thing ive done is been pretty loud in class. like to stand out and be noticed. it drove me crazy, but i still did it anyways.

another thing that others might do is ditch old friends thinking that they could get "better" or "more popular" friends. nuhuh bad bad idea.

hope i helped! :)

xcuriousx0 answered Sunday April 3 2005, 2:52 pm:
umm...

*most teens smoke so they seem tougher and so they will fit in with the people who seem to rule the school
*dress to impress...they feel like they always have to look good or people will make fun of them.
*do sexual activity...to impress a date...
i dont know thats all i could think of.

BeautifulMadness answered Sunday April 3 2005, 1:22 pm:
I personally don't THINK I do anything to fit in, but here are some suggestions of what people might do -
*Change their opinions on something to something that the popular kids think (i.e. if all the popular kids support George Bush, someone trying to fit in would do too)
*Spend all their money on fashionable and designer clothes
*Try and date a 'hot' and popular guy
*Ditch their old 'unpopular' friends and try and make friends with the popular people
*Suck up to the popular people - compliment their hair and stuff
*Listen to the same music and watch the same TV programmes as popular people do
*Slag off their old friends behind their backs
*Tell the popular people the unpopular people's secrets
*Pretend they are straight when they're gay
*Hide the fact that they are of a minority religion or whatever
*Dye their hair blonde (if they're a girl) or get highlights and use lots of gel (if they're a guy)
*Smoke, drink, or do drugs.

Hope that helped!!
Blessed Be,

A lot of teens will do drugs to try to fit in, or smoke. They also change their looks, as well as their personality.

Hope I helped!
