who the heck am i?
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?

As long as you don't go on a killing spree like some retards do because "they didn't know who they really were", everything is perfectly fine with you :)

Nope. No one really knows who they are or what they wanna do with life. Right now, I'm some 16 year old girl who wants to be a child pyschologist when she gets older. Who knows if that could change in the next few years? A few months ago, I didn't care about school or anything. I do now. I wear whatever I want & do whatever I want. I'm taking a guess, but I think about only 30% of people find out who they are & what they're about. About 20% don't care, another 20% choose the wrong path, and the other 30% do what they were destined to. Just keep changing & doing what makes you happy & you'll find out who you are eventually. And if you never do, then that's cool too. Everything doesn't have to be planned for you. Be spontaneous & fun.

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.

Hi.
Not necessarily actually - I'm older than you and I still have no idea what direction in life I am going or what it is I want to do. :] In a way I'm too laid back for my own good (or so I'm told). One day I'll dress in all black in pants with chains all over it and a top with a bit red pentagram on it (oh how my mom hates those pants, hehe) and the day after I'll be dressed like a chav (trackies, cap etc).
Maybe you are just confused or don't know what direction you want to go in which is a hard thing to decide these days with all the pressure on teens. The only way you'll discover who you really are though is to look deep inside yourself. You dress different from one week to the next - I see nothing wrong with that at all. See which you like best or which you feel most comfortable in. The one you like the best is probably you. If you like them all then by all means feel free to dowhat I do and change from one to the next. I'm not for labels and any of that crap. I wear what I want to wear and what makes me comfortable so it changes day to day. Like you, I don't care what anyone thinks or anyone calls me.
My childhood and teen years were a mess. A lot of things teens do growing up I never got to do and only started doing after I left college/uni. It was after all of that I started to discover myself and what I like and all the possibilities. I don't really know when it will be you or when you are pretending - that's a part I can't really advise on. Maybe having a professional to talk to might help? Or at least give you an idea on how you can really discover your true self? I'm sorry I can't really be of more help on this but I think the best bet might be to talk to a professional who can help you a lot more into seeing who you really are on the inside and bringing that real you out.
